A hydrogen-powered engine has started supplying electricity to Spain's national grid, marking what its manufacturer calls a world first for large-scale power generation. The engine is designed to run on hydrogen without emitting carbon, and supporters say it could help balance renewable energy systems by providing dispatchable power when solar and wind output drops. The project is still early, and details on efficiency, hydrogen sourcing, and cost per megawatt-hour are not yet public. But if the technology scales, it could offer a new option for grid operators looking to replace natural gas peaker plants with zero-carbon alternatives. The full Euronews article includes more on the manufacturer and the specific installation.
