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

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

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.

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

The Pierrefonds waste-to-energy plant, using a 19-MW steam turbine, will process up to 148,000 tons of waste and generate 121,000 MWh of electricity annually.

OEMs are using AI- and ML-equipped software and control systems to improve data quality and reliability, automate tasks, monitor assets, assist smaller crews, and make predictive maintenance commonplace.

The Raven Field’s initial phase developed eight subsea wells, located up to 65 km offshore, at water depths ranging from 550 to 700 meters.

The engines and associated cooling systems will be available for purchase by independent OEMs for integration into their own genset designs.

Once operational, the plant's two gas turbines will generate a combined 990 MW, representing nearly 7% of Morocco's national grid capacity.

Integrating CFD analysis software into blade design software increases time-to-market.

Megan Reusser of Burns & McDonnell said mechanical, thermal, electrochemical, and chemical LDES could help reduce the need for grid expansion, but each has its challenges.

Jeffrey Benoit of PSM and Bobby Noble of EPRI talk about the battle for grid stability from intermittent renewables and how retrofitted gas turbines can enhance reliability.

Ansaldo will design, supply, commission, maintain, and service its five 250-MVAR synchronous condensers.

POWERGEN International 2025 spotlights its reoccurring theme: Destination 2050.

INEOS, Royal Wagenborg, and Royal Niestern Sander shipyard will develop a liquefied CO2 carrier, expected to enter service by year-end 2025.

The facility includes existing dock infrastructure and onsite tankage with an LNG storage capacity of 107,000 m3.

The project team identified which Royal Air Force Tornado components can be atomized into powders for additive manufacturing to make new engine parts.

The EC-8 control system uses the BACnet protocol and Modbus to enable communication and information exchange between machines and sensors.

The January/February 2025 issue gives readers an update on software and controls under the lens of AI and ML, the digitalization of compressor maintenance, and more.

Roots Blowers Systems manufactures displacement blowers engineered to deliver a steady volume of air with each rotation.

Arrow Engine distributes natural gas-powered engines through a global distribution network, with primary focus on the United States and Canada.

The company’s modular capture plant design reduces capital costs, minimizes the impact on existing factory operations, and easily facilitates integration with pulp mills.

The next phase of testing will focus on performance and emission optimization, including injection, selective catalytic reduction systems, and control strategies.

The digiPrime pump, anchored by a 3,000 hp Cummins natural gas variable-speed engine, is a direct drive solution with significant thermal efficiency.

The investment will satisfy increasing customer demand, bolster national supply chains, and allow GE Vernova to continue developing its power technologies.

The Surface Effect Ships are said to be “the fastest of their kind”, with a high speed of 53 knots.

The carbon-capture plant is expected to capture 350,000 mtpa of CO2 with SLB Capturi’s modularized Just Catch 400 technology.

MFM generates an alert and technical recommendations for the operator, preventing further degradation that may cause damage and unplanned shutdowns.

The Netherlands-based plant uses SLB Capturi’s Just Catch modular system, which reduces onsite installation and outfitting work for lower costs and ease-of-deployment.
