    Electric utility company GE Vernova and Saudi Arabia’s Ash Sharqiyah Operations & Maintenance Company (ASHOMCo) have concluded three front-end engineering design (FEED) studies to reduce net carbon emissions from three cogeneration plants in Saudi Arabia.

    The studies assessed the feasibility of pre-combustion and post-combustion technologies to reduce emissions at power plants producing up to 920 MW of electricity and 1,400 tonnes per hour of steam.

    The cogeneration plants, equipped with GE Vernova’s 7E and 7F gas turbines, underwent a hydrogen readiness assessment.

    This included evaluating performance improvements and cost savings for potential carbon capture, utilization and sequestration systems.

    The plants, which provide the equivalent of electricity needed by 920,000 Saudi homes, could benefit from these improvements.

    ASHOMCo Executive Director Rob Hayes said: “Our participation in studies conducted by GE Vernova underscores our commitment to accelerating advanced solutions to potentially retrofit existing power plants to meet stringent carbon emissions standards, an essential step towards more sustainable energy production.

    “GE Vernova led the large-scale integration of the study with the ultimate goal of reducing net carbon emissions from the three power plants. »

    GE Vernova’s FEED studies investigated the ability of gas turbines to operate using a mixture of natural gas and hydrogen, with the possibility of hydrogen making up to 32% by volume.

    The studies highlighted the modifications needed to existing combustion systems to achieve this level of mixing, thereby improving the sustainability of plant operations.

    Additionally, the studies explored options for retrofitting factories with technology to capture up to 95% of CO₂ emissions.

    The integration of GE Vernova’s Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system has been identified as a means to reduce the total cost of the carbon capture plant by more than 7%, compared to traditional capture plants and carbon storage without EGR.

    An additional 6% annual reduction in carbon capture operational costs was predicted under the analyzed site conditions.

    Joseph Anis, President and CEO of GE Vernova Gas Power business in Europe, Middle East and Africa, said: “The first assessment of this type of carbon capture carried out in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by GE Vernova proposes significant improvements aimed at improving the proposed carbon capture process and reducing its impact on power plant production, performance and equipment costs.
