Also used for direct industrial heat and as a feedstock!
Eg. the Hybrit project produces iron sponge with electrolyzed hydrogen. So the process becomes
> (electricity + H2O) + Fe3O4 [iron ore] => Fe + H2O
instead of the usual
> C [coke] + Fe3O4 => Fe + CO2
Siemens currently has turbines that can burn up to 75% hydrogen and is targeting 100% hydrogen by 2030:

General Electric has a variety of gas turbines, accepting 50% to 100% hydrogen in the fuel blend:
