Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) is providing its BrightGen technology to end-users seeking a powerful hydrogen combustion solution for utility and industrial applications where efficient, zero-CO2 emissions energy generation is a goal. B&W's BrightGen hydrogen combustion solution is currently in operation at multiple refineries and industrial facilities around the world.

B&W’s  utility, industrial and FM package boilers can be manufactured or retrofitted with BrightGen technology to safely burn hydrogen for virtually any need, including power, heating and steam generation, and for industrial applications such as refineries and petrochemical facilities.

“Our BrightGen hydrogen combustion system is helping customers reduce their greenhouse gas footprints and produce clean energy today,” said Kenneth Young, B&W Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “There’s no time to waste in the battle against climate change, and B&W’s ClimateBright suite of decarbonization technologies can help win that battle and protect our environment for future generations.”

B&W’s ClimateBright suite of technologies can capture CO₂ and includes the ability to produce hydrogen. These technologies have application for a wide range of industries including energy production, biomass energy, waste-to-energy, food manufacturing, steel, cement, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, carbon black, and pulp and paper.

B&W’s ClimateBright solutions include:

• BrightLoop technology to produce hydrogen, steam or syngas from a variety of fuels or feedstocks while isolating CO₂ for capture or other industrial purposes
• SolveBright regenerable solvent technology for carbon capture processes
• OxyBright combustion process ideal for CO₂ isolation and sequestration applications
• BrightGen hydrogen combustion technology

ClimateBright technologies work with a vast array of feedstock, including natural gas, biomass, petroleum coke, coal, municipal solid waste and syngas for both new and retrofit applications
