From gas turbines to digital engineering, women are gaining visibility in turbomachinery amid industry efforts to improve inclusion and career-building opportunities.

Before commercial availability, the CR2.2 injectors were successfully field-tested for over 12,000 operating hours on an Everllence 48/60CR engine and confirmed high reliability.

Due to ammonia’s high flame temperature, the combustion system must leverage an appropriate thermal barrier coating system to protect its nickel-based metal alloy hardware.

The Turbomachinery News Network, for the week of February 2, 2026, covers news from SoftInWay, Mitsubishi Power, Siemens Energy, Baker Hughes, and GE Vernova.

The ME-GI dual-fuel engine obtained strong order intake in 2025, accelerating decarbonized propulsion and fuel-flexible operations in the marine transportation segment.

The strategic agreement with Baker Hughes comes as Hydrostor nears construction on advanced compressed air energy storage projects in the United States and Australia.

The platform also adds agentic capabilities to Peter, the company’s AI workmate, which helps engineers configure systems models, modify elements, and execute analysis within AxSTREAM.

The reliability package falls under a broader service agreement which includes maintenance, management, parts supply, and remote monitoring services for Damhead’s gas turbines.

Remote monitoring delivers comprehensive plant control/overview, but Tegtmeier says that it shouldn’t replace standard operating procedures, equipment criticality, and other fundamentals.

The equipment will support Honeywell’s hydrogen purification system, ammonia processing, and syngas processing, addressing multiple stages of the clean ammonia value chain.

The permit authorizes construction and operation under state and federal air-quality requirements, closing the project’s permitting process with a major regulatory milestone.

Daniel Tegtmeier, Director of EthosEnergy’s Performance Center, says that the energy transition shifted its focus from decarbonization and renewables to extending current assets.

The keynote highlighted how data center growth, rising electricity loads, and infrastructure constraints are accelerating changes across generation, transmission, and resource planning.

The M701 JAC gas turbine features a flexible operating profile and hydrogen co-firing capability, playing a critical role in stabilizing Qatar’s electricity power grid.

Per Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz, properly executed scheduled and condition-based maintenance methods are adequate to prevent failures, costly shutdowns, and interventions.

The Applied Digital AI Factory project uses a proven plant configuration: A gas-fired boiler generates heat and steam to drive the turbines, producing reliable and dispatchable energy.

This project accelerates Vietnam’s transition to natural gas-based power generation, which may produce up to 60% less carbon emissions than coal-fired plants of a similar size/power output.

Functional testing validated the system’s ability to process the high volumes of operational data generated by progressively larger and higher performance gas turbines.

Rising electricity demand from data centers and AI is driving renewed investment in gas turbines in 2025, as utilities and operators seek fast, reliable power solutions amid grid constraints.

Digital tools, AI, and predictive maintenance are reshaping turbomachinery and driving gains in reliability, efficiency, and long-term asset performance in 2025.

The company will integrate EthosEnergy’s TurboCare team, technical data, and intellectual property to support a broad range of OEM technologies.

In addition to delivering centrifugal compressors and LM9000 aeroderivative gas turbines, the full scope includes commissioning services, spares and warranties, and full string tests.

The wet gas scrubbing system features high SO2-removal efficiency, low-pressure operation, reduced energy consumption, and accommodates site layouts with customizable designs.

The client, a frozen food manufacturer, will integrate the C800S microturbine to significantly reduce energy costs, lower pollutant emissions, and improve operational reliability.

In addition to electrical submersible pumps, the FusionPro and Leucipa solutions will enhance operational reliability and minimize non-productive time for Kuwait Oil’s fields.
