JGC Wins EPC Order for Japanese Gas-to-Power
Japanese engineering group JGC Corp has secured an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for a high-efficiency gas turbine power plant that Japanese conglomerate Sumitimo is developing in Sodegura city, Chiba, the company said on December 9.
The station will have output of 45,000 kW or more, equipped with a heat recovery steam generator. It is due to start up in the autumn of 2023, JGC said, without disclosing the value of its contract. The facility will replace a petroleum coke power plant that will be decommissioned at Sumitomo's Chiba chemicals complex
The plant will be supplied by LNG, with the goal of reducing CO2 emissions at the chemicals complex by 240,000 metric tons or more annually, or 20%,
