Another World’s First: INNIO Receives ‘H2-Readiness’ Certification from TUV SUD for Engine Power Plant Concept

  • The INNIO Group receives the “H2-Readiness” certification from TUV SUD for its Jenbacher Type 4 and 6 hydrogen product line and the associated concept to operate power plants on 100% hydrogen.
  • This independent certification increases investment security for companies and municipalities during the transition to net zero.
  • The Jenbacher hydrogen engine power plant concept makes fast, efficient, and future-proof energy supply possible

The INNIO Group (INNIO*) has received “H2-Readiness” certification from TÜV SÜD for its Jenbacher* engine power plant concept. This certification highlights how an investment in hydrogen-ready Jenbacher cogeneration systems is an investment in a clean energy future. The concept enables both the conversion of existing Jenbacher power plants to hydrogen (H2) and the planning of new hydrogen-ready Jenbacher power plants. As a result, they can make an important contribution to a secure, affordable, and climate-friendly supply of power and heat.

Offering communities and companies a high degree of investment security, this first stage of TÜV SÜD certification attests the “H2-Readiness” of INNIO’s plant concept based on the Jenbacher Type 4 and 6 product lines. INNIO is the world’s first company to offer energy solutions based on an “H2-Readiness” concept certified by TÜV SÜD for new engine power plants and for converting existing power plants to run on 100% hydrogen.

“We are ‘Ready for H2,’ and the independent certification from TÜV SÜD provides even more investment security for companies and municipalities,” said Dr. Andreas Kunz, chief technology officer of the INNIO Group. “Hydrogen-ready energy solutions secure our energy supply of tomorrow.”

“Our ‘H2-Readiness’ certification guideline enables engine manufacturers, plant operators, and insurers to apply a standardized and transparent evaluation framework,” said Ferdinand Neuwieser, CEO of TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH. TÜV SÜD took the contributions of the INNIO Group’s experts and other key players in the industry into account in a peer-review process to develop the certification guideline.

The certification covers a complete engine power plant with all relevant subsystems. It does not refer exclusively to new “H2-Ready” engine power plants, but also defines a roadmap for retrofitting existing plants – from gradual admixing to pure hydrogen operation.

TÜV SÜD’s certification of an “H2-Ready” engine power plant consists of three stages and three corresponding certifications: During the bidding phase, a Concept Certification is issued for the conceptual design including all boundary conditions. INNIO is the first manufacturer worldwide to receive this Concept Certificate. In the implementation phase of a specific project, a Project Certificate is issued based on the final plant design and its specifications. Finally, a Transition Certificate evaluates the conversion/retrofitting of an existing engine power plant to hydrogen operation. This third stage also includes a review of the retrofit measures and their impact on safety and performance. The certification offered by TÜV SÜD can be applied to a wide range of engine power plants.

INNIO is a pioneer in the field of hydrogen with its technology designed for gas and hydrogen mixtures. With its Jenbacher “Ready for H2″** technology, INNIO is also one of the first companies to offer engines in the 1 MW class that can operate on 100% hydrogen. As of 2025, the entire Jenbacher product portfolio will be rolled out for operation with 100% hydrogen. Due to their huge operational flexibility and short start-up times, Jenbacher energy solutions are essential for stabilizing energy systems that are increasingly dependent on volatile renewable energy sources.

Rapid Progress on Installation of INNIO’s Hydrogen Production

INNIO orders two electrolyzers for its hydrogen production plant in Jenbach

To convert green electricity to green hydrogen (H2) for its power-to-hydrogen-to-power project, INNIO has ordered two electrolyzers with a total capacity of 2 MW from H-TEC SYSTEMS. This represents a critical step in realizing the company’s sustainable hydrogen product strategy as part of which all new Jenbacher plants are already “Ready for H2” today. The entire Jenbacher engine product line is expected to be rolled out for 100% hydrogen operation as of 2025. At the same time, the supply of green hydrogen at the Jenbach site represents a milestone on the way to net zero operations on site.

The 2 MW system will be constructed in a container design located on the premises of the Achensee power plant of TIWAG – Tiroler Wasserkraft AG. Its subsidiary TINEXT will build the necessary compressor and storage terminals. Locally produced hydrogen – a key enabler of the energy transition – will be transported in a pipeline from the TINEXT compressor and storage terminals to INNIO’s primary operations in Jenbach.

At a system efficiency of 74%, the two H-TEC SYSTEMS PEM electrolyzers will produce a total of up to 900 kg of green hydrogen daily. This quantity is enough to power the 2 MW Jenbacher H2 engine test bench. Thus, in addition to solar, battery, and hydropower, the primary operations can also be supplied with green electricity and heat generated from green hydrogen. At its INNIO360 Energy Lab in Jenbach, INNIO demonstrates how the energy transition of an industrial plant works.

“By ordering these electrolyzers from H-TEC SYSTEMS, we are taking the next important steps in further advancing INNIO’s pioneering role in green power generation. After all, supplying green hydrogen represents an important prerequisite for the sustainable, economical, and timely implementation of our hydrogen product strategy,” states Martin Muhlbacher, INNIO Vice President and Site Manager in Jenbach. “Using green hydrogen to generate electricity allows us to further reduce the carbon footprint of our Jenbach site,” Muhlbacher continues.

“At INNIO’s energy lab, our electrolyzers will be used to expand a more secure, economical and green energy supply with combined heat and power plants,” explains Tobias Fritsch, project manager at H-TEC SYSTEMS. “This technology is the backbone of the energy transition, since hydrogen – as in this case – replaces fossil fuels and, at the same time, can be stored for weeks and even months. We appreciate the trust that INNIO has placed in us and the opportunity to jointly realize this forward-looking project for Austria.”

This project is sponsored by funds from the Climate and Energy Fund and implemented within the framework of the Austrian Research, Technological Development, and Innovation initiative “Energy Model Region.”

INNIO’s Wuhan Waste-to-Energy Project Enters Phase II With Commissioning of Six Additional Jenbacher J320 Engines

  • Jenbacher technology generates 14.9 MW of flexible, scalable, and resilient power from captured landfill gas – enough to power 35,000 homes in Wuhan
  • Jenbacher distributor Shenfa continues technical services for installation
  • Six additional Jenbacher J320 engines mark 14 engines at the power plant

INNIO today announced that Wuhan Environmental Investment and Development Co., Ltd (WEID) has commissioned six additional of INNIO’s Jenbacher J320 engines for the Wuhan Jiangxia Changshankou Municipal Solid Waste landfill gas (LFG) project. INNIO’s distributor, Guangzhou Shenfa Electromechanical Industrial Development Co., Ltd. (Shenfa), provided the project’s generator set (gen-set) containers, landfill gas pre-treatment equipment, and NOx reduction equipment. Shenfa will also continue to provide technical services for the customer. The project is now operating with 14 Jenbacher J320 generator sets, delivering a total installed capacity of 14.9 megawatts. This supports the city of Wuhan in achieving its goal of becoming the most sustainable city in China.

Wuhan – INNIO’s Wuhan Waste-to-Energy Project

In 2020, WEID turned to INNIO’s proven landfill gas power generation technology, selecting eight J320 gen-sets in their Wuhan City Changshankou LFG phase 1 project. The gen-sets were commissioned in April 2021. Convinced by the technological reliability of Jenbacher engines and Shenfa’s professional services, WEID purchased six additional J320 gen-sets in April 2022 for Phase II of the LFG project. The project provides enough electricity to power 35,000 homes in Wuhan. The six Jenbacher engines were commissioned in December 2022.
