GE Vernova, YTL PowerSeraya partner to capture carbon for gas turbine plant in Singapore

Electric services firm GE Vernova and power generation company YTL PowerSeraya will jointly conduct a carbon capture feasibility study for its gas turbine plant in Singapore, GE Vernova said on Monday.

The study aims to capture at least 90% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions at YTL PowerSeraya's hydrogen-ready, combined-cycle gas turbine 600-megawatts (MW) power plant, set to be built by the end of 2027 on Singapore's Jurong Island manufacturing hub.

The post-combustion carbon capture proposal will be co-funded by the Singapore Energy Market Authority.

GE Vernova's first carbon capture assessment in Singapore is aimed at improving the proposed carbon capture process and reducing its impact on the power plants' output, performance and costs, said Ramesh Singaram, president and CEO of GE Vernova's Gas Power business in Asia Pacific.

Singapore aims to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 by driving renewable technology projects in various sectors, including power generation.
