Background

The power plant co-fires with refuse, a waste-derived fuel.[9]

In a November 2022 press release, Siemens Energy and EnBW states the SGT-800 gas turbines installed for the gas plant in 2025 are being constructed so "that the natural gas can be replaced with hydrogen as quickly and completely as possible."[10] EnBW has a goal of having the hydrogen plant fulling operating by 2034.
