GE Vernova Secures Contract for Hydrogen-Capable Power Plant in Singapore
Key Ideas
  • GE Vernova has secured a contract to supply a 9HA.01 gas turbine for a 600MW hydrogen-capable power plant at Pulau Seraya power station on Jurong Island, Singapore, with operations set to begin by 2027.
  • The power plant will have the capability to blend up to 50% hydrogen initially, indicating a potential transition to 100% hydrogen in the future, aligning with global emission reduction efforts.
  • The project involves a consortium of GE Vernova, POWERCHINA, and SEPCO III for the engineering, procurement, and construction, showcasing a commitment to innovative technology and sustainable power generation.
  • GE Vernova's advanced DLN2.6e combustion system in the 9HA.01 gas turbine allows high hydrogen combustion without diluents, emphasizing the role of hydrogen-blended natural gas in decarbonizing the power sector.
GE Vernova has secured a contract to supply a 9HA.01 gas turbine for a 600MW hydrogen-capable power plant at Pulau Seraya power station on Jurong Island, Singapore. The project, expected to be operational by 2027, was celebrated during a ground-breaking ceremony led by YTL PowerSeraya Group. Initially running on natural gas, the power plant will have the flexibility to blend up to 50% hydrogen, signaling future potential for 100% hydrogen fuel use to reduce carbon emissions globally. The consortium of GE Vernova, POWERCHINA, and SEPCO III will handle the engineering, procurement, and construction aspects of the facility, showcasing a commitment to sustainable energy innovation. The advanced DLN2.6e combustion system in the 9HA.01 gas turbine enables high hydrogen combustion without diluents, supporting decarbonization efforts. GE Vernova's President highlighted the importance of hydrogen-blended natural gas in accelerating decarbonization and looks forward to contributing to Singapore's goal of achieving a net-zero economy by 2050. Additionally, GE Vernova has established a Global Repair Service Solution centre in Singapore, emphasizing its dedication to the region's sustainable energy sector. The contract signifies a step towards cleaner power generation and highlights the potential of hydrogen technology in reducing carbon emissions.
