Clean Energy

PSM is committed to providing innovative solutions to meet the energy needs of our customers today and in the future.

Clean Energy Solutions for a Sustainable Tomorrow

Engineering the Transition to Lower Emissions

PSM delivers flexible, proven solutions that help power producers decarbonize operations without replacing their gas turbines. Our clean energy technologies—including hydrogen-fueled retrofits and refinery off-gas (ROG) integration—offer power plants a practical path to reduce emissions while improving operational flexibility and asset life.

Solving the energy trilemma

The energy trilemma refers to the challenge of balancing three aspects of energy systems:
• Environmental sustainability
• Energy affordability
• Energy reliability

PSM addresses this challenge by helping customers meet their carbon reduction goals through innovative gas turbine upgrades, combustion system retrofits, and digital optimization—all designed to lower emissions, maintain performance, and reduce lifecycle costs.

Hydrogen Explained: Color Spectrum Overview

The energy industry uses color-coded terms to describe various hydrogen production technologies and their environmental impacts. Each color in the hydrogen spectrum represents a distinct production method. Here's a brief overview of the different types of hydrogen:

Grey

Grey hydrogen

  • Source: Natural gas via steam methane reforming
  • Emissions: High CO2 output

Blue

Blue hydrogen

  • Source: Fossil fuels with carbon capture
  • Emissions: Low CO2 emissions

Green

Green hydrogen

  • Source: Renewable energy via electrolysis
  • Emissions: Zero Carbon

Pink

Pink hydrogen

  • Source: Nuclear-powered electrolysis
  • Emissions: Zero Carbon

Turquoise

Turquoise hydrogen

  • Source: Methane pyrolysis
  • Emissions: Solid carbon byproduct (low-emission potential)

How PSM Converts Gas Turbines for Natural Gas and/or Hydrogen Use

  1. Assess turbine compatibility: Analyze the turbine's design, materials, and operating parameters to ensure safe operation with hydrogen fuel.
  2. Modify fuel system: Adapt the existing system to accommodate hydrogen by installing a flexible supply system with blending and delivery capabilities.
  3. Upgrade combustion system: Retrofit or install a PSM FlameSheet™ or LEC III™ combustion system.
  4. Test and commission: Systematically test the upgraded turbine to ensure safety, efficiency, and performance improvements, including emission reductions.

PSM's team of specialized engineers and technicians guides customers through the conversion process. A comprehensive assessment of the plant and decarbonization goals determines the scope of the conversion.
