Biogas Combined Heat and Power
It’s a well-known fact that manufacturing industry is a key causer of greenhouse gas emissions. In the roadmap to achieve carbon neutrality of China, manufacturers are being urged to shrink their carbon footprint.
Our client is a large chemical conglomerate who looked for an energy solution to improve the overall energy efficiency of their operation with minimised environmental impact. Understanding their demands, we designed a biogas combined heat and power ("CHP") solution.
Located near our client’s manufacturing facilities, our solution includes a series of high-end equipment, including double membrane gas holder, microbial desulfurisation units, Rolls-Royce MTU engines and boilers. It collects biogas, a by-product of the wastewater anaerobic fermentation in the production, as the fuel to generate electricity and then captures the residual heat to provide steam to our client. Selective Catalytic Reduction is also placed to optimise the emissions of CHP system.
Biogas contains a high level of methane which is a potent greenhouse gas. By utilising biogas in the CHP system, we help our client reduce the overall greenhouse gas emissions. In 2019, this eco-friendly project recovered over 23 million m3 of biogas and reduced more than 39,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions. Our solution also brings economic value to our client by lowering their cost of electricity and heating.
Myingyan II - Organic Rankine Cycle
The government of Myanmar has committed to achieving universal access to sustainable electricity services by 2030, in order to support the national economic growth and urbanisation. We designed, built and now operate multiple gas-fired engine-based distributed power stations, which can respond timely to the strong electricity demand with high stability and efficiency, in several districts of Myanmar.
In one of our power stations located in Myingyan, we installed modular Organic Rankine Cycle (“ORC”) systems to recover the exhaust heat energy from the containerised high-speed gen-sets. The ORC system uses organic fluid with a lower boiling point, which accounts for its high efficiency at lower heat source temperature. By pairing up the ORC systems and our gen-sets, additional electrical power is generated without further fuel consumption.
The ORC system improves the overall efficiency of the power station, resulting in waste reduction and less impact to the environment. In 2019, the ORC systems of this project offset approximately 13,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions.
One-Stop LNG-to-Power Solution in Southeast Asia
In the journey of energy transition, natural gas has a key role to play globally with its growing demand in recent years. It reduces carbon dioxide emission by 50% in electricity generation when replacing coal, and serves as a reliable partner to the intermittent renewables. After liquefaction, the fuel occupies only 1/600 of its original volume in the gaseous state, making it a more economical alternative for storage and transport.
Seeing the market potential for LNG-to-power, we invested in a joint venture company to develop the very first fast-track LNG-to-power projects in Southeast Asia. The joint venture company embraces the whole value chain in bringing LNG-to-power to the ultimate power off-takers from procurement, logistics, storage, regasification and power generation, making its leadership as an integrated LNG-to-power company in Asia.
Having a huge fleet of high-speed and medium-speed gen-sets with more than 1GW generation capacity, the joint venture company also owns two LNG vessels, namely CNTIC VPower Global and CNTIC VPower Energy, the latter of which serves as a floating storage unit with a capacity of 125,000 m³.
