Hydrogen

CO2-induced corrosion is common in Brazil’s pre-salt fields, where Petrobras reinjects CO2 from its production operations into wells to decrease flaring and boost oil recovery.

The March/April issue focuses on maintenance and repair and how data and AI are impacting the field and highlights our latest Turbo Tour.

The membrane efficiently separated hydrogen from the natural gas stream, enabling the production of high-purity hydrogen and cleaner streams.

With engineering, manufacture, and demonstration complete, reliability and safety evaluations will be rendered prior to commercialization and final production.

The 1.2-GW Malaysian plant started commercial operation with GE Vernova’s equipment and control system software.

The NovaLT gas turbine will allow data center customers to adapt and meet their specific, reliable, and sustainable power requirements.

Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz break down the myth that electrification and electric-motor drives are decarbonized.

The contract represents over 100,000 hours of annual maintenance executed by a 30-person team, so EDF PEI can achieve 95% availability on power assets.

Preparatory construction work is underway next to the Niehl harbour basin, where Rhine water will be extracted to serve as the plant's environmental energy source.

Women are making strides in the male-dominated turbomachinery and power generation fields, progressing in turbine efficiency, renewable energy integration, and power plant optimization.

The transition from coal, increased electrification, and rise of AI computational demand may allow the turbine fleet to achieve 10 million hours of cumulative runtime.

Electrolysis-generated green hydrogen will be converted into e-methane, allowing the fuel to integrate within current natural gas infrastructures.

The issuance to Golden Pass marks the Department of Energy’s third LNG-related approval since the new administration took office, with Commonwealth and JAX LNG certified prior.

The prior administration’s order issued to JAX LNG asserted new oversight for the use of LNG to power marine vessels, also known as LNG bunkering.

This partnership follows the commissioning of GAIL's green hydrogen plant, in which Accelera supplied a 10-MW proton exchange membrane electrolyzer system.

Bert Warner of the Propane Education & Research Council identifies three growth opportunities for propane: portable power generation, EV charging, and combined heat-and-power.

Bobby Noble of EPRI says gas turbines are “well sought after” thanks to data center power demands and shifts in the energy portfolio mix.

The commissioning of Kuo Kuang 2 replaces older, CO2-intensive plants on the grid, emitting up to 66% less greenhouse gases than coal- or oil-driven power.

Cosmo Oil will combine its expertise in plant operations, fuel quality control, and logistics with Mitsui's capabilities in ethanol procurement to develop the project.

Fuel cells allow Equinix to generate on-site power at its data centers, with almost no air pollution or water usage compared to typical grid-delivered energy.

Jeffrey Benoit of PSM says there are no big technical barriers, “it’s a matter of getting these technologies into products and commercially operated gas turbines.”

The IANUS project will also expand research laboratories and develop modular electrolyzers for large-scale, multi-MW industrial applications.

Kevin Clark of Clarion Events says, "Power generation is having its day ... again," with data centers, onshoring manufacturing, and electrification beefing up demand.

The M701 JAC gas turbine represents the first deployment of this technology in a Middle Eastern aluminum smelter, contributing to Aluminum Bahrain’s decarbonization goals.

Klaus Payrhuber and Michael Collins of INNIO Jenbacher detail hydrogen engine demonstration projects that may bridge the gap created by renewables.
