Each color has its own source—green hydrogen comes from solar, wind, and other renewable sources, for example. It’s important to know where hydrogen comes from as we map out the energy landscape to understand the implications of using certain types of hydrogen over others.
2023-07-1411 minTurboTimeTurboTime: Busting the Myth on Fast LNG Production, Part 2Concluding the TurboTime Myth talk on LNG, Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz go further into the limiting factors involved in the LNG production process. There are various components involved, and each requires gas turbine driven or electric motor driven compressors. The pair also address current events involved in gauging and limiting the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere. Cost, cost, cost is on everybody's mind, and is a major hurdle in solving the issue of bolstering LNG production levels.
2023-06-2308 minTurboTimeTurboTime: Busting the Myth On Fast LNG Production, Part 1In this TurboTime special, Myth Busters Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz join us to tackle the myth that we can quickly make more liquid natural gas. Currently, the United States needs to see 2-3 million more compressor horsepower in the next 12-18 months to meet the current demand. The manufacturing limits imposed by these very long-lead machines make the current expectations on LNG production increases wholly unrealistic.

In this episode of the Turbo Time podcast, we have an engaging conversation with esteemed Turbomachinery International columnists Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz about the current status of energy storage within the industry. Traditional technologies, like the natural gas pipeline system, play a vital role when compared to alternative energy storage options such as batteries or wind power. The intermittent nature of these newer storage systems raises concerns about their dependability, particularly when it comes to satisfying peak demand requirements. Natural gas offers the flexibility...
2023-05-0516 minTurboTimeTurbo Myth Busters Podcast: Energy Storage TechnologiesOn this episode of the Turbo Time podcast, we interview longtime Turbomachinery International columnists Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz on the state of energy storage in the industry. Existing technologies such as the natural gas pipeline system are crucial compared to alternative energy storage solutions such as batteries or wind. The intermittency of newer storage systems puts into question their reliability, especially in terms of meeting peak demand. Natural gas can be ramped up or down depending on demand and doesn't heavily rely on exterior factors such as wind, water availability, or sunshine to reach optimal efficiencies.
