Highlights

• GE Vernova and YTL PowerSeraya start a carbon capture feasibility study for the H-Class CCGT plant on Jurong Island.
• The Energy Market Authority (EMA) funds the project under Singapore’s Power Sector Carbon Capture and Storage Grant Call.
• The study targets 90% CO₂ reduction using EGR, steam, and controls integration to improve efficiency and cut costs.

GE Vernova and YTL PowerSeraya have begun a Post-Combustion Carbon Capture Feasibility Study in Singapore to explore how the H-Class Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant on Jurong Island can cut its carbon emissions.

The study is part of Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) programme launched to encourage the power sector to move toward a low-carbon energy transition.

In July 2025, the EMA selected five projects from its Power Sector Carbon Capture and Storage Grant Call, and YTL PowerSeraya’s proposal was among those chosen for co-funding. The study aims to retrofit the 600 MW plant with carbon capture technology capable of removing up to 90 percent of CO₂ emissions and help make Singapore’s power generation cleaner and more efficient.

With its technical expertise, GE Vernova will assess how the plant can use Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), steam integration, and controls integration to reduce emissions and improve efficiency. This design is different from traditional post-combustion carbon capture systems because it makes the process more cost-effective and reduces the size and expenses of the overall plant, including CAPEX and OPEX.

YTL PowerSeraya’s CEO, John Ng, said that this study represents a step toward retrofitting their gas power plant for net zero emissions, helping Singapore move closer to producing sustainable energy for its communities.

Ramesh Singaram, President and CEO of GE Vernova’s Gas Power business in Asia Pacific, added that this project in Singapore introduces new methods aimed at improving performance and cost outcomes during carbon capture.

The announcement took place during Singapore International Energy Week, marking another development for GE Vernova following its involvement in the Net Zero Teesside Power project in the UK—an initiative seen as the world’s first commercial-scale gas plant equipped with carbon capture technology.

GE Vernova is also providing the combined cycle equipment for YTL PowerSeraya’s CCGT plant on Jurong Island, which includes a 9HA.01 gas turbine, STF-A650 steam turbine, W88 generator, and a triple pressure with reheat Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG).
