GE Vernova and YTL PowerSeraya have announced a joint feasibility study to explore carbon capture technology for a 600-megawatt hydrogen-ready combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant planned on Jurong Island, Singapore’s key energy and manufacturing hub.
The study, co-funded by Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA), will assess how to capture at least 90% of carbon dioxide emissions from the facility, which is expected to be operational by the end of 2027.
According to Ramesh Singaram, President and CEO of GE Vernova’s Gas Power business in Asia Pacific, the project marks the company’s first carbon capture assessment in Singapore.
The study will focus on optimizing the carbon capture process to minimize impact on performance, efficiency, and cost.
Supporting Singapore’s Net-Zero Ambitions
The initiative supports Singapore’s net-zero by 2050 target and broader strategy to decarbonize the power sector through innovation and low-carbon technologies.
If successful, the joint project between YTL PowerSeraya and GE Vernova could serve as a model for integrating carbon capture systems into existing and future gas infrastructure across Asia.
