Congratulations to Cody Allen, Ph.D. and Matt Lubomirsky for having their paper "Risk Modeling of Gas Pipeline Availability" accepted into the prestigious Applied Mathematical Modelling journal! Cody and Matt theoretically solved the Pipeline Availability problem that has previously only been solvable using Monte Carlo techniques. The derived mathematical solution helps speed up studies of pipeline expansion scenarios for our customers. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3R3Fs9Q

We are constantly working with our customers to support a reduced carbon future. Solar Turbines and Chevron recently achieved a new industry milestone by running a low emissions, SoLoNOx Centaur 40 gas turbine on an over 60% hydrogen blend. This concept involves using both hydrogen and natural gas fuel to provide a cleaner energy solution. Check out the full video!
