Turboexpanders – A new spin on decarbonization

Turboexpanders – A new spin on decarbonization

In this episode of the Energy Transitions Podcast, Pamela Largue speaks to Jeff Earl, Director of Business Development at Sapphire Technologies, about the latest innovative turboexpander technology and the promise it holds for the decarbonisation journey.

Unpacking the latest trends, Earl talks about turboexpanders, a specific kind of power-generating equipment that converts pressure energy into electricity through an inlet and outlet.

Unlike combustion turbines, this technology has no ignition, which means there are no CO2, NOx or SOx emissions.

Earl explains that this power generation equipment is not only carbon friendly, but that the levelized cost of electricity generated is also competitive contributing to a strong business case.

This episode is brought to you by Sapphire Technologies; which develops, manufactures, and sells energy recovery systems for hydrogen and natural gas industrial applications.
