Roiled by executive orders, agency rulemakings, and other initiatives, the U.S. power generation landscape has shifted dramatically this year from renewables to dispatchable generation. What’s more, vast and ever-rising estimates of electric demand growth created by data centers, artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing are adding to the turbulence.

The plant’s post-combustion carbon-capture technology features exhaust gas recirculation, steam integration, and controls integration, reducing up to 90% of CO2 emissions.

The 2026 Handbook includes a comprehensive outlook of the U.S. power industry and gas turbine market, as well as an industry-wide directory and specifications listings.

These 800-volt direct-current microturbines will be integrated in AI Power Blocks, which deliver power, liquid cooling, and computation in a rapidly deployable system.

Explore how blade dynamics, velocity triangles, and flow path analysis help operators achieve higher efficiency and reliability in steam turbines.

The September/October 2025 issue covers steam turbine optimization, a pump-centric conversation with the Hydraulic Institute, hybrid grid technology for stabilization, and much more.

By using a fast-starting independent gas power plant, data center operators may come online faster with increased energy security and electricity to the grid.

In addition to providing heating and hot water supply for commercial facilities, the ETI-W can serve the electronics, automotive, food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.

Large-scale gas turbines will be installed at two Xcel Energy facilities, retiring an older coal plant and powering a new peaker plant that will respond to high-demand periods.

Cape Station’s Phase II engineering and procurement scope includes Turboden’s turbines and control system, expected to generate 300 MWe of power following delivery in 2028.

The company’s compressor testing suggested that single-piece rotor manufacturing enables higher tip speeds, which maintains an optimal pressure ratio for compressing hydrogen.

The new headquarters will house advanced capabilities such as laser scanning, virtual assembly, metrology, and much more, allowing RMS to serve Gulf Coast customers quickly.

The planned 11-GW AI campus will pair natural gas generation with nuclear power, leveraging Siemens Energy’s F-class gas turbines, steam turbines, and Westinghouse AP1000 reactors.

Dr. Marco Ernst of Everllence says that deploying multiple centrifugal compressor trains allows the company to cover compression from capture to offshore transmission.

The pre-commissioned skid contains three C65 microturbines fueled by pipeline-derived natural gas, accommodating additional load growth and same-day connection/startup.

Facing rising demand, decarbonization targets, and supply chain volatility, John Crane’s Nico Schmaeling urged turbomachinery professionals at the 2025 Turbomachinery & Pump Symposium to address the energy trilemma—security, affordability, and sustainability—through smarter design, efficiency upgrades, and cross-industry collaboration.

Once operational, the project will capture up to 800,000 tons of CO2 per year for permanent sequestration beneath the North Sea via the Northern Lights facility.

With the new Flex selective catalytic reduction system, ship operators may reduce their physical footprint by up to 42% and cut NOx by 75% compared to IMO II limits.

In addition to five centrifugal compressor trains, the supply includes dynamic process simulations and a digital twin with virtual sensors for the integrally geared compressors.

The five-year contract addition allows EthosEnergy to continue life-extension strategies, maximizing asset uptime and minimizing cost for Spirit Energy’s gas assets.

The large-scale permanent carbon sequestration facility, under the CarbonSAFE initiative, will store CO2 from industrial emitters across the Mountain West region.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries seeks to identify the various origins of hydrogen production, in addition to tracking carbon intensity across the co-fired, nuclear, and green typologies.

The engineering and equipment scope includes five 60-MWe units, turboexpanders, and one BRUSH generator for the Cape Station project in Utah.

The tests, which will track CO2 emissions across various hydrogen processes, utilize nuclear-derived low-carbon hydrogen and green hydrogen produced in Japan.

Michael Michaud of the Hydraulic Institute says design improvements, more efficient motors, and AI-enabled analysis technologies will improve pump reliability and maintenance.
