Hanwha Power Systems and Hanwha Ocean signed a Joint Development and Collaboration Agreement with Baker Hughes on February 3, 2025, to design and produce low-carbon ammonia gas turbines. This agreement aims to achieve completely carbon-free operation of ships.
The ammonia gas turbine will be based on Baker Hughes' small-size turbine technology and a newly-developed ammonia combustion system by PSM, a Hanwha subsidiary. It will be capable of 100% ammonia combustion and dual-fuel operation with a natural gas and ammonia blend, offering a game-changing technology for large ship owners.
Hanwha Group plans to complete the development of liquefied natural gas carriers and container ships using this ammonia gas turbine propulsion system by 2028. This collaboration expands on previous approvals in principle and successful combustion tests, accelerating the transition to eco-friendly fuel propulsion for ships.
