Hydrogen

Day one at WTUI 2024 in Palm Springs, CA focused on gas turbine sales and aeroderivative orders.

The DOE’s $60 million grant will be used to develop technology for proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis, as well as establish a Recovery and Recycling consortium to circulate PEM electrolyzers and fuel cells.

The March/April 2024 issue features insight into how the oil and gas industry is reducing methane emissions, a micro-reactor Q&A with Rolls-Royce, a discussion with GE Vernova on decarbonization, and more.

Green hydrogen is receiving a lot of hype in the news, but a closer look reveals how impractical its future is for power generation.

The order from MITSUI E&S Co. is the first selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalytic converter for an ammonia-ready engine and as an exhaust gas after-treatment solution, can reduce NOx emissions by 90%.

This episode of the TurboTime podcast features an interview with Dr. Jeffrey Goldmeer, the Global Hydrogen Value Chain Leader at GE Vernova.

The institute has been researching solid oxide electrolyzer cell technology for 20 years, and the partnership with thyssenkrupp nucera is the next step toward industrial manufacturing applications for hydrogen production.

The hydrogen production facility was built for Plug Power in Woodbine, GA, using proton membrane exchange technology to produce 15 metric tons of hydrogen daily.

MITSUI, a MAN Energy Solutions licensee, successfully tested a 50-bore two-stroke marine engine with up to 100% hydrogen load at its Tamano facility in Japan.

This year’s show focused on the future—how to future-proof current assets and incorporate new ones.

Shell and Bloom are collaborating to develop replicable, large-scale, solid oxide electrolyzer systems for possible use at Shell assets.

The palladium-alloy membrane separators were validated for separating hydrogen blends from 5-20% at 99% purity for use in fuel-cell applications.

The company’s liquid hydrogen module powered a MW-class fuel cell powertrain installed on the “Iron Bird” ground test rig for a regional aircraft flight simulation.

The Hybrid Green Hydrogen plus battery energy storage system (BH-ESS) is a utility-scale, long-duration solution with 293 MWh of carbon-free energy.

The “Reconstruction of Almaty CHPP-3” power plant project will be supplied with two AE94.2 gas turbines, two generators, and auxiliary services.

The U.K.’s East Riding of Yorkshire Council granted Equinor planning permission for H2H Saltend—a 600 MW low-carbon hydrogen production plant with carbon capture.

The companies will conduct a joint research and development program to use low-carbon methanol as a feedstock for distributed hydrogen production.

The Tallawarra B Power Station in New South Wales, Australia is dual-fuel capable with natural gas and hydrogen and is powered by GE Vernova’s 9F.05 gas turbine.

The January/February 2024 issue features an exploration of digital twins, hydrocarbon challenges for compressors, insights on Ansaldo steam turbines, and more.

The U.S. DOE awarded Eden $1.4 million in federal funding to develop technologies to stimulate the generation of geologic hydrogen from iron-rich formations.

bp’s low-carbon hydrogen pipeline has been increased from 1.8 MTPA to 2.9 MTPA, and the company looks to focus on upcoming blue hydrogen projects in 2024.

The partners will construct a 5 MW/20 MWh utility-scale battery energy storage system at Galp’s solar power plant near Alcoutim, Portugal.

The partners have agreed to study the development of a renewable green hydrogen plant at Kraft Heinz’s Kitt Green manufacturing site in Wigan, United Kingdom.

These Chinese electrolyzer manufacturers have secured orders for a total of 65 MW for projects in Oman, Thailand, and Uzbekistan.

The demonstration plant will produce 100 tons of “turquoise” hydrogen and 380 tons of synthetic graphite, a form of carbon, from natural gas on an annual basis.
