Crosstown H2R provides a patented multi‑fuel burner that retrofits existing gas turbines to operate on any mix of natural gas and hydrogen while delivering the lowest recorded NOx emissions. The technology eliminates CO₂ emissions at 100% hydrogen operation and meets stringent global air‑quality regulations without requiring additional downtime. It offers cost‑competitive upgrades that extend turbine life, hedge fuel risk, and avoid carbon taxes for plant operators, ISPs, and OEMs.

Problem
Gas turbines used for power generation produce significant greenhouse gas emissions, including NOx and CO₂, contributing to air pollution and climate change. Existing renewable energy systems often rely on gas turbines as a backup, and current methods to reduce emissions have had limited success. Operators face increasing pressure to comply with international emissions standards and reduce their carbon tax burden.
Solution
Crosstown H2R offers the H2R® Burner, a technology that retrofits existing gas turbines to operate with varying blends of natural gas and hydrogen. The H2R® Burner enables gas turbines to achieve ultra-low NOx emissions and, when fueled by hydrogen, zero CO₂ output. This dual-fuel capability allows for immediate NOx reduction with the option to transition to full decarbonization as hydrogen becomes more available. The H2R® Burner is designed for easy integration with most gas turbine models, providing a scalable solution for reducing the carbon footprint of power generation. By eliminating greenhouse gases at the source, the H2R® Burner helps operators meet emissions compliance targets and reduce their CO₂ tax burden.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes power generation companies, gas turbine operators, and entities seeking to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and comply with environmental regulations.
