Oil and gas will continue to be the backbone of the global energy supply, and natural gas will become even more important in decades to come. With Siemens as a partner, you benefit from proven expertise and experience in oil and gas applications.

For power generation in upstream, midstream and downstream applications as well as mechanical drives for compressors and pumps, Our gas turbines are proven and trusted in the industry. Since many years, they ensure outstanding reliability for oil and gas production and processing as well as pipeline, LNG and refinery applications.

Benefit from our expertise and experience in industrial power generation: Our gas turbines can be used for power generation and cogeneration (Combined Heat and Power, CHP) in many industries, such as the chemical and fiber, cement, metals and mining, as well as other manufacturing industries.

All engines ensure an uninterrupted supply of power and heat, high energy efficiency, low energy costs and a high return on investment.

How can gas turbines help meeting the World Energy Council’s trilemma of secure, affordable and environmentally sustainable energy which turns into requirements on your business? How can you ensure the future role of existing assets as decarbonizations agents supporting the energy transition? Our new Whitepaper provides details on the vital role the ability of gas turbines to burn hydrogen as a fuel will play in a world trending towards full decarbonization and an unfolding hydrogen economy. We shed a light on the hydrogen combustion process, the capability and operational experience of our gas turbines on hydrogen combustion, upgrade options and our roadmap to 100% hydrogen capability.

New gas power plants being build today will very likely be converted at a later stage to burn a blend of hydrogen up to 100% during the lifetime of the plant. This means that provisions for cost efficient later retrofit to hydrogen are essential.

However, today’s new power plants will typically start operating with natural gas for several years. It is therefore crucial to build new natural gas fired power plants that can easily be upgraded and converted to hydrogen operations as hydrogen becomes available to the operator.

By doing so, natural gas fired power plants are future-proof and will be fit to meet the amount of hydrogen for which it has been made ready, with minimal conversion costs.
