London, (Oilandgaspress) ––U.S. power producers generated a total of 55.6 million megawatt hours (MWh) from gas-fired power plants between January and September, according to data from London Stock Exchange (LSEG).
Batur Convertible – has begun its final suite of sign-off testing. Created by Mulliner, Bentley’s in house bespoke division and the longest standing coachbuilder in the world, the Batur Convertible is the third car in Mulliner’s Coachbuilt family, following the Bacalar barchetta and the Batur coupe. Strictly limited to just 16 units, the Batur Convertible is the most powerful W12-powered drop-top Grand Tourer in Bentley’s history. More than 120 individual tests in all cover everything from the quality of the surface finish of the gold “organ stop” ventilation controls to the new W12 engine hardware and software. Over 58 weeks of vehicle validation have been scheduled across a pair of pre-series cars – Batur Convertible Car Zero and the Batur Convertible Engineering Car.
The real-world testing campaign started with an extensive 3,000 kilometre , five-country drive across Europe to simulate real world conditions. The Batur Convertible retains the most powerful version of Bentley’s iconic W12, with a 750 PS, hand-assembled 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged engine that has metaphorically and literally powered Bentley’s success for the last two decades. The Batur Convertible will be the last ever Bentley to use this incredible powertrain. Read More
Baker Hughes announced its largest order ever of Integrated Compressor Line (ICL) units with Dubai Petroleum Establishment (DPE), for and on behalf of Dubai Supply Authority (DUSUP), to enhance the reliability of energy supply and support local decarbonization efforts. The order was booked in the third quarter of 2024.
The 10 ICL units – five for gas storage and five for dual-use injection boosting or gas export to the existing gas distribution system – will be installed at the Margham Gas storage facility in Dubai, significantly increasing its capacity. Through the adoption of the ICL technology, the project aims to achieve a high-reliability system with reduced emissions. The project will provide stability to Dubai’s energy supply by strengthening the system’s ability to switch between natural gas and solar power.
“Our innovative ICL technology is set to be critical to support the gas infrastructure needed to address Dubai’s increasing expansion of renewables into its energy mix,” said Ganesh Ramaswamy, executive vice president of Industrial & Energy Technology at Baker Hughes. “This landmark order underscores the proven track record we have built in the market for our low-carbon solutions, and we are grateful to DPE for their continued commitment and trust as they deliver sustainable energy development.”
With already three ICL units successfully in operation since 2020, DPE’s decision to continue working with Baker Hughes is a testament to the performance and reliability of the installed technology. With zero seal leakages and minimal downtime required for maintenance, Baker Hughes’ ICL technology continues to solidify its position as a highly sought-after option in the market. The latest award from DPE continues the positive order momentum for this technology and follows awards for different applications in projects across Italy, Germany, Argentina and the United States.
