2025 GTEN Fall Technical Course  

October 9 & 10, 2025

Delta Hotels Calgary Downtown
Calgary, AB, Canada

Welcome

Gas turbine energy systems play a critical role in facilitating the transition towards de-carbonization of energy resources. They have supported the phaseout of coal-based power across Canada, as well as providing cogeneration services, and gas compression for pipelines and offshore platforms. Using large amounts of high pressure air for power, gas turbine systems produce dispatchable, on-demand power necessary to provide resilience and support for the increasing share of intermittent renewables, and for managing energy during extreme weather events.

Building on established technology and a large installed base, advancements in system efficiency, flexibility and emissions reduction technology are ensuring that reliable gas turbine systems will remain an important part of the energy mix for years to come.

GTEN delivers technical training and a biennial technical symposium related to gas turbine applications and turbomachinery in clean and reliable energy solutions. Part of developing the energy transition is continuous onsite learning, so this technical course offers several hours towards Professional Engineering continuing education credits.

Preliminary topics are listed below.

• Gas Turbine Basics
• Centrifugal Compressors
• Challenges in Electrifying Mainline Natural Gas Compressor Stations
• Progressing the Energy Transition With Affordable Peaking Power
• Gas Turbine Control Systems – Considerations for Upgrades, Including Hydrogen Safety Systems
• Environmental Emissions and Solutions
• Gas Turbine Component Repair Best Practices
• Digital Service Solutions
• Cogeneration Systems

Title Sponsor

GTEN will partner with SPE and CHWG at the SPE Workshop: Hydrogen Exploration and Production and Carbon Capture in Western Canada, taking place 7–9 October 2025 at the Sheraton Cavalier Calgary Hotel. Over two days, SPE Workshop explore Hydrogen Exploration & Production (H2E&P) and Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCS/CCUS) in Western Canada, focusing on technical challenges, R&D advancements, and industry collaboration. As momentum grows around low-carbon hydrogen and CO₂ storage, the event will examine subsurface storage, production, transportation, and risk assessment. With Western Canada’s abundant natural gas resources, blue hydrogen and ammonia production will require CCS/CCUS for decarbonization. The event will highlight local expertise, ongoing innovation, and global best practices while identifying gaps for further research and investment. Following the workshop, GTEN will host a training course on 9 October.
