Plaquemines LNG Terminal

Plaquemines LNG Terminal is a Venture Global liquefied natural gas export facility in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, about 20 miles south of New Orleans, that shipped its first cargo in December 2024.

Plasma arc gasification

Plasma arc gasification is a waste treatment process in which a plasma torch breaks organic waste down into syngas while melting the inorganic fraction into a glassy, leach-resistant slag.

Plasma focus

A plasma focus, or dense plasma focus (DPF), is a pulsed-power device in which a high-current discharge collapses plasma onto the axis, emitting X-rays, ions, and neutrons.

Plasma-assisted combustion

Plasma-assisted combustion (PAC) uses electrical discharge plasmas to modify flame chemistry and flow, enhancing ignition, stabilizing ultra-lean mixtures, and reducing pollutants in gas turbines and aerospace engines.

Plastic crystal electrolytes

Plastic crystal electrolytes (PCEs) are solid-state electrolytes combining a metal salt with a plastic crystal, a solid whose molecules rotate, giving solid materials with liquid-like ion transport for batteries.

Plastic-to-fuel

Plastic-to-fuel (PTF) is a set of thermochemical and catalytic technologies that convert waste plastics into fuels such as diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, or hydrogen, chiefly by pyrolysis.

Plastic-to-hydrogen

Plastic-to-hydrogen is a family of chemical processes that convert waste plastics into hydrogen gas, appealing because polyolefins contain 14 to 17 percent hydrogen and the processes consume plastic waste.

Platinum dissolution and platinum band formation in fuel cells

Platinum dissolution in fuel cells is the electrochemical loss of platinum from a PEMFC cathode, a degradation pathway where dissolved ions form a platinum band in the membrane.

Platinum-cobalt alloy catalyst

A platinum-cobalt alloy catalyst is a carbon-supported nanoparticle electrocatalyst used in fuel cell cathodes, which reduces oxygen faster than pure platinum while using less of it.

Platinum-ruthenium anode catalyst

A platinum-ruthenium anode catalyst, or PtRu, is a bimetallic electrocatalyst, usually alloy nanoparticles on carbon, used in direct methanol fuel cells for its carbon monoxide tolerance.

Platts

Platts, a price reporting agency founded in 1909, is an S&P Global brand publishing over 15,000 daily commodity price assessments, including the Dated Brent oil benchmark.

Pleasant Prairie Power Plant

The Pleasant Prairie Power Plant was a 1,233 MW coal-fired power station in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, We Energies' largest generating plant, which ran from 1980 until its retirement in 2018.

Pleasants power station

Pleasants power station is a coal-fired power plant on the Ohio River at Willow Island, Pleasants County, West Virginia, with two units in service in 1979 and 1980.

PLTGU (Amman power plant)

PLTGU, formally Batu Hijau CCPP-1, is a 450 MW LNG-fired captive power station owned by Amman Mineral at the Batu Hijau mine in West Sumbawa, Indonesia, replacing coal-fired power.

PLTGU Jawa-1 power station

PLTGU Jawa-1 (Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Gas Uap Jawa-1) is a 1,760 MW LNG-fired combined-cycle power station in Cilamaya, West Java, Indonesia, the largest in the country, operating since 2024.

Plug & Charge

Plug & Charge is an authentication method for electric vehicle charging, defined in ISO 15118, that starts and bills a session automatically when the connector is plugged in.

Plug and abandonment

Plug and abandonment (P&A) is the permanent sealing of a well no longer viable for production, using cement or mechanical plugs to stop reservoir fluids contaminating aquifers.

Plug Power

Plug Power is an American hydrogen energy company headquartered in Latham, New York, best known for fuel cells that replace batteries in warehouse forklifts for Walmart and Amazon.

Plug-in hybrid

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a hybrid car whose battery can be recharged from an outlet and runs on electricity before switching to its gasoline engine.

Plus Power

Plus Power is a privately held American company that develops, owns, and operates standalone utility-scale battery storage, founded in 2018 by Brandon Keefe and Alex Fraenkel.

Pluto LNG Terminal

Pluto LNG Terminal is a Woodside-operated liquefied natural gas plant on the Burrup Peninsula, Western Australia, producing 4.9 million tonnes of LNG a year since 2012.

Plutonio Oil Field

Plutonio is a deepwater oil field in Block 18 offshore Angola, about 300 km northwest of Luanda, discovered in 1999 and producing since 2007 through the FPSO Greater Plutonio.

Plutonium disposition

Plutonium disposition is the conversion of surplus weapons-grade and civil plutonium into forms hard to reuse in weapons, by reactor fuel, immobilization, or dilution and disposal.

PM3-CAA Oil and Gas Field

The PM3-CAA Oil and Gas Field, or PM3 Commercial Arrangement Area, is a producing oil and gas block jointly developed by Malaysia and Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand.

PM6:Y6 bulk heterojunction
