During the 2025 Annual Meeting of Baker Hughes in Florence, the energy technology company, in partnership with Hanwha Power Systems, formalized a joint development agreement to design a small-scale ammonia turbine. This initiative is particularly aimed at sectors that are challenging to electrify, such as maritime transport and offshore energy infrastructure. Hanwha Ocean, a subsidiary of Hanwha specializing in shipbuilding, plans to incorporate this innovative turbine into its vessels to enhance energy efficiency and reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuels. The development timeline includes conducting final turbine tests, targeting a power output of approximately 16 MW by 2027, after successful prior testing of a prototype combustion chamber powered by 100% ammonia by Hanwha. Baker Hughes had previously conducted a feasibility study in 2024 to assess the potential use of small-scale gas turbines with ammonia as fuel. Baker Hughes and Hanwha Power Systems are both committed to innovation, with Baker Hughes also recently announcing the commercialization of the first 100% hydrogen-powered turbine. This collaboration signifies a significant step towards industrializing ammonia-based propulsion technologies to meet the evolving demands of international maritime transport. The project reflects a shared vision to provide sustainable solutions in the energy sector and reduce emissions significantly.
