Energy Transition Solutions for North America

For the North American power industry, the journey to a net-zero carbon future must balance affordability, reliability, and sustainability — the energy trilemma — while remaining profitable and competitive. Advanced gas turbines capable of hydrogen co-firing can help producers meet market demands when their ever-growing renewable energy sources, especially wind and solar, are not available. Siemens Energy offer the needed gas-fired turbine solutions for fuel and operational flexibility, increased efficiency, and power output.

With our modern and extremely broad gas turbine portfolio, Siemens Energy can provide North America’s power industry with the capabilities needed to solve the energy trilemma cost-effectively and flexibly:

Affordability: Achieve fast starts with dynamic load following when connected to North American grids with large amounts of intermittent renewable resources.
Reliability: Gain best-in-class reliability exceeding 99.5%, plus extended maintenance intervals and reduced maintenance costs.
Sustainability: Reduce CO₂ and NO_x emissions to meet environmental regulations and net-zero decarbonization progress commitments.

The more hydrogen in a turbine’s fuel mix, the fewer CO₂ emissions

Hydrogen co-firing can reduce emissions from existing power plants while providing an efficient, reliable, and flexible energy source. Siemens Energy can support your hydrogen adoption ambitions, whether you’re upgrading your existing power plants or building new ones, with a full portfolio of advanced gas-fired turbines capable of mixed-fuel hydrogen combustion. Our plant engineering expertise draws from experience across North America and around the world, working directly with our customers as well as with the power industry’s top EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) firms. Not only can we help you successfully plan and deploy new hydrogen co-firing capacity, but we can also assist in the development of onsite production plants for large-scale green hydrogen production.

Hamm-Uentrop

Siemens Energy implemented a series of upgrades for Trianel’s Hamm-Uentrop power plant that boost both warm- and hot-start as well as fast shutdown capabilities.
New hot gas path parts designs provides higher operational efficiency, significantly reducing carbon emissions.
Heading toward hydrogen - Operators of gas-fired plants, including Trianel, are now considering how to bring synthetic fuels made with clean hydrogen into the fuel mix.

Hyflexpower

Hydrogen is produced on site with an electrolyzer and used in a gas turbine with a mix of 30-vol. % hydrogen and 70 vol.-% natural gas for power generation.
Hydrogen will play a crucial role in the interaction between renewables and electricity storage
Siemens Energy works with its customers and partners on energy systems for the future, thus supporting the transition to a more sustainable world.
