Summary
Singapore-based Sembcorp Industries, GE Vernova, and Japanese heavy industry firm IHI Corp. will jointly examine potentially retrofitting two GE 9F gas turbines at an 815-MW gas-fired combined cycle power plant in Singapore with ammonia capabilities.
The companies on Oct. 25 revealed they signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) to assess ammonia combustion capabilities at the Sembcorp’s Sakra power plant. The cogeneration plant in Pulau Sakra on Jurong Island, southwest Singapore, which opened in November 2001, produces power for the grid and process steam for chemical and petrochemical facilities nearby.
The companies’ efforts to explore ammonia combustion stem from separate collaborations. In 2022, IHI and Sembcorp said they would explore developing an integrated “green” ammonia supply chain, focusing on both upstream and downstream elements. IHI and Sembcorp notably set out to study the introduction of an ammonia-fired gas turbine as well as to convert Sembcorp’s two existing Jurong Island gas-fired assets to ammonia.
