GE Vernova and YTL PowerSeraya Partner on Pioneering Post-Combustion Carbon Capture Feasibility Study in Singapore

Strategic Insights -

GE Vernova, an energy company, has announced a significant collaboration with YTL PowerSeraya to conduct a post-combustion carbon capture feasibility study at YTL PowerSeraya's 600 MW H-Class power plant in Singapore. The study aims to explore the capture of at least 90 percent of carbon dioxide emissions using GE Vernova's 9HA.01 Gas Turbine technology, marking a first-of-its-kind assessment for H-class Combined Cycle Gas Turbine plants in Singapore. The study is supported by Singapore's Energy Market Authority, which granted funding for five projects aimed at reducing carbon emissions in the power sector.

Key Takeaways:

  • The study will focus on integrating post-combustion carbon capture technology with YTL PowerSeraya's H-Class CCGT plant, using GE Vernova's expertise to achieve seamless integration.
  • The study will explore three key technical solutions: Exhaust Gas Recirculation ("EGR"), Steam integration, and Controls integration.
  • The proposed GE Vernova system integration with EGR technology aims to reduce plant size, overall CAPEX, and OPEX while boosting overall plant performance.
  • The study is part of Singapore's energy transition towards a low-carbon future, and YTL PowerSeraya's participation underscores the company's commitment to accelerating advanced solutions for net zero emissions.
  • The project marks a significant milestone in GE Vernova's efforts to support the advancement of the region's energy goals, working alongside carbon capture players to support YTL PowerSeraya's decarbonization efforts.

Statistics:

  • The study aims to capture at least 90 percent of carbon dioxide emissions at YTL PowerSeraya's H-Class power plant.
