Hydrogen Turbine Retrofits Market Report 2026

The hydrogen turbine retrofits market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.67 billion in 2025 to $1.9 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to reliance on gas turbine power generation, increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions, availability of mature turbine assets, early hydrogen co-firing trials, growing interest in low-carbon retrofitting.

The hydrogen turbine retrofits market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.21 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of hydrogen-based power generation, rising investments in decarbonized utilities, expansion of hydrogen-ready turbine technologies, growing policy support for retrofit solutions, increasing demand for flexible low-emission power systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing retrofit of gas turbines for hydrogen blending, growing demand for full hydrogen turbine conversion, expansion of retrofit consulting and engineering services, rising integration of advanced combustion control systems, enhanced focus on emission reduction and asset life extension.

The increasing demand for clean energy is expected to drive the growth of the hydrogen turbine retrofits market going forward. Clean energy demand refers to the growing global requirement for energy generated from low-emission and renewable sources instead of conventional fossil fuels, aimed at reducing carbon emissions and supporting sustainable energy transition goals. The increase in clean energy demand is driven by governments and industries worldwide implementing stricter decarbonization policies and net-zero targets. Hydrogen turbine retrofits support this trend by enabling existing gas turbines to operate partially or fully on hydrogen, thereby lowering greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining energy output. For example, in November 2024, according to the Ember-Energy Organization, a UK-based think tank, solar installations are expected to reach 593 GW in 2024, reflecting a 29% year-on-year increase following an 87% growth in 2023. Therefore, the increasing demand for clean energy is driving the growth of the hydrogen turbine retrofits market.

Companies operating in the hydrogen turbine retrofits market are focusing on developing advanced retrofit solutions, such as hydrogen-capable gas turbine modifications, to reduce carbon emissions, support fuel flexibility, and accelerate the transition to low-carbon power generation. Hydrogen-capable gas turbine modifications refer to engineering upgrades that enable existing gas turbines to safely and efficiently operate on hydrogen-natural gas blends or 100% hydrogen fuel. For example, in September 2025, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, a Japan-based industrial and energy technology company, announced progress in its hydrogen turbine retrofit solutions designed to convert conventional gas turbines for hydrogen co-firing and future 100% hydrogen operation. Engineered to maintain high efficiency and stable combustion while significantly lowering CO₂ emissions, these retrofit technologies support power utilities in extending asset life, complying with tightening environmental regulations, and advancing hydrogen-based energy systems.

In June 2025, Turbotech, a France-based provider of efficient and sustainable aviation solutions, collaborated with Ansys to enable hydrogen-ready turbine retrofits. Through this partnership, Turbotech and Ansys aim to accelerate the development and validation of hydrogen-fueled turbine technology for light aviation by retrofitting and optimizing turbine engines to operate efficiently, safely, and reliably on hydrogen fuel. Ansys is a US-based simulation software and engineering tools provider that enables companies to retrofit existing gas turbines for hydrogen operation.

Major companies operating in the hydrogen turbine retrofits market are General Electric, Honeywell International Inc., Siemens Energy AG, Linde Engineering, GE Vernova Inc., ABB Ltd., Mitsubishi Power, Baker Hughes Co., Rolls-Royce Power Systems, Parker Hannifin Corp., Doosan Enerbility, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, MAN Energy Solutions, Wärtsilä Corp., Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, Ansaldo Energia Spa, Solar Turbines Inc., EthosEnergy Group Ltd., Harbin Electric Co. Ltd., Capstone Green Energy Holdings Inc., and Hamworthy Combustion.

Tariffs are impacting the hydrogen turbine retrofits market by increasing costs of imported combustion components, control systems, fuel delivery modules, sensors, and specialized retrofit hardware. Utilities and independent power producers in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported turbine components, while Asia-Pacific faces higher costs for retrofit service delivery. These tariffs are increasing retrofit project costs and extending approval timelines. However, they are also driving local engineering capabilities, domestic component manufacturing, and long-term development of regionally optimized hydrogen retrofit solutions.
