Baker Hughes has partnered with Hanwha Power Systems and Hanwha Ocean, targeting creation of small-size ammonia turbines for marine applications and power generation.
The energy technology company on Feb. 3 said the joint technology and collaboration agreement between the companies will leverage its gas turbine technology and Hanwha’s ammonia combustion system.
“Decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries and transportation is one of the most pressing but high-potential opportunities of our time,” Alessandro Bresciani, senior vice president of Climate Technology Solutions at Baker Hughes, said in a news release. “We believe fuel switching to ammonia will play a key role in achieving significant emissions reductions across these sectors, and to realize this ambition, the industry needs more partnerships such as this. Together, we will continue to lead by example and take energy forward.”
The companies aim to complete a full engine test with ammonia by year-end 2027 with the turbine becoming commercially available for orders afterward, according to the release. Baker Hughes said it completed initial turbine feasibility studies in 2024, and Hanwha successfully tested a proof-of-concept of the combustor with 100% ammonia as the fuel gas.
In addition to marine applications, the turbine also will be suitable for onshore and offshore applications, Baker Hughes said.
