Market Trends

Rolls-Royce SMR's planned Generation 3+ modular nuclear power plants will feature Siemens Energy's steam turbines, generators, and other systems.

Scott DeNeale of Oak Ridge National Lab shares trends in hydropower—from modular designs to additive-manufactured Francis turbines.

The company designed and supplied digesters, a prefabricated containerized pump-block system, heating and boiler containers, and a prefabricated factory-tested control container.

Initially, the venture will advance four natural gas, combined-cycle power plant projects totaling over 5 GW in the ERCOT & PJM markets.

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 contract’s wider resource opportunity across Kirkuk and the surrounding area is projected to include up to 20 billion barrels of oil equivalent.

The company's solution can capture over 95% of CO2 emissions from post-combustion sources, including gas-fired power plants, boilers, waste-to-energy, and biomass-to-energy sites.

Bert Warner of PERC and Jim Crouse of Capstone discuss propane’s greatest benefits: ease of deployment and transportation infrastructure.

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.

Combining 3D laser scanning and generative AI automates inspection processes, enhances service quality, and expedites equipment overhauls.

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.

The company is working with partners to increase the feed-in of renewable electricity for the Friedrichshafen, Augsburg, and Aiken/USA plants and their local grids.

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.”

With the detailed design review complete, GE Aerospace will execute a contract to procure, assemble, and test a XA102 full-scale demonstrator engine.

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

Kevin Lauzze of Sargent & Lundy discusses the rise of carbon-capture pilot projects and how technologies can successfully enter the market.

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

The deployment of Electrochaea´s technology will support Japan’s climate goals to achieve 5% carbon-neutralized gas via the injection of 1% synthetic methane by 2030.

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

Billy Sanez of SpotSee also explains how temperature fluctuations may damage transformers, steam turbines, and other power generation equipment during transport.

Jeff Wirt of EnergyLink International and Paul DiMascio of ProEnergy explain how their ammonia direct injection system and dual-use catalyst improves NOx reduction.

The port fuel-injection methanol concept makes the 21/31DF-M medium-speed, small-bore engine suitable for genset and diesel-electric propulsion applications.

Tennessee Valley Authority’s Scott Hunnewell discusses nuclear’s reliability as a carbon-free energy source and its increased safety due to passive safety systems.

The test phase will also verify the safety and performance of MITSUI E&S’s ammonia fuel-supply system and peripheral systems.
