Hydrogen and nitrogen are important gases for many industrial processes, with the former being hailed as a sustainable fuel for the future. To create ‘blue’ hydrogen, a carbon capture process that requires considerable electrical energy is needed. However, a new plant being built in Texas, will use two hydraulic power recovery turbines (HPRTs) to dramatically improve operational efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

Renewable energy company Drax has chosen international technology group ANDRITZ as the main contractor for the upgrade of its Cruachan pumped storage power plant in Scotland.
