Product Overview

Overview

Crosstown H2R manufactures multi-fuel gas burners for gas turbines that can accommodate natural gas, hydrogen and crack ammonia. Their team has decades of expertise in hydrogen combustion and turbine technology, collaborating with major manufacturers like ABB, Alstom, and Siemens.

The H2R® Burner:

  • Can operate with any blend of hydrogen, crack ammonia and natural gas (multi-fuel).
  • Its design is modular, scalable, and compatible with diverse gas turbine types (whether fitted with silo, annular, can-annular or can type combustion chambers).
  • Supports compliance with emissions standards, as it allows gas turbines to be decarbonized with hydrogen while achieving a low output of NOx emissions.
Business Model

Crosstown H2R operates in a project-based model. Each gas burner is customized and modeled to fit into the specific gas turbine and to ensure the pressure requirements.

Technology Innovations

Crosstown H2R's technology give the user the flexibility to operate gas turbines with different fuels (from 0% to 100% hydrogen), allowing the decarbonization and compliance of environmental standards.

Applications

Crosstown H2R aims to deliver customized burners to decarbonize gas turbines. They target industries that rely on gas burners like power generation companies, oil and gas operations and industrial facilities.

They have implemented the H2R® Burner in two gas turbines:

  • 75 MW Gas Turbine: Upgraded to operate with 30% hydrogen, reducing CO2 emissions by about 50,000 tons/year.
  • 15 MW Gas Turbine: Customized burner achieves NOx reduction (from 45 ppm to below 8 ppm) and zero CO2 with pure hydrogen, cutting an estimated 85,000+ tons/year in carbon emissions.
