JGC Holdings Corp. (Yokohama, Japan) announced that JGC Japan Corp., which operates the domestic engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) business of the JGC Group, recently received an order for engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning work for a high-efficiency gas-turbine power generation facility that Sumitomo Chemical Co. (Tokyo, Japan) l is planning for its Chiba Works location in Kitasode, Sodegaura Cit, Japan.
The scope of the lump-sum contract includes the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) work for a high-efficiency gas-turbine power-generation facility (output: 45,000kW or more) and a heat recovery steam generator (vapor: 80 tons/h or more)
Delivery of the project is expected to occur in autumn of 2023.
This project involves decommissioning the petroleum-coke power-generation facility currently operating at Sumitomo Chemical’s Chiba Works (Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture), and constructing a high-efficiency gas turbine power generation facility fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG), which has a low carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions coefficient, as a part of Sumitomo Chemical’s efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. By introducing this facility, Sumitomo Chemical plans to reduce CO2 emissions at Chiba Works by 240,000 tons or more a year, equivalent to approximately 20% of the plant’s total annual CO2 emissions.
