GE Vernova Completes FEED Study for CO2 Emission Reduction for Cogen Plants

GE Vernova has announced the completion Front End Engineering Design (FEED) studies for CO2 emissions reduction for Ash Sharqiyah Operations & Maintenance Company (ASHOMCo), the operator of Saudi Aramco's cogeneration power plants in Hawiyah, Abqaiq, and Ras Tanura.

 

These plants, collectively producing 920 megawatts (MW) of power and 1,400 tonnes per hour of steam, support Aramco’s processing operations.

 

GE Vernova said in a statement that it completed the assessment of pre-combustion and post-combustion technologies at the ASHOMCO’s three plants powered by its 7E and 7F gas turbines, evaluating their hydrogen-readiness and options for carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS).

 

The statement said GE Vernova assessed the plants' potential to operate on natural gas blended with hydrogen, with hydrogen making up to 32 percent of the fuel mix by volume as well as the feasibility of retrofitting carbon capture systems.

 

ASHOMCo is a joint venture owned by Marubeni Corporation (51 percent), JGC Corporation (29 percent), and Al Jomaih Holding Company (20 percent), according to its website.
