GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) and YTLPowerSeraya Pte Limited (“YTLPS”) announced today the collaboration of the two companies on a feasibility study (“Study”) to analyze the lowering of carbon emissions of YTLPS’ H-Class Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant on Jurong Island, Singapore.
Following the launch of a Power Sector Carbon Capture and Storage Grant Call by Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (“EMA”), in October 2024, which invited the power industry to explore potential carbon capture solutions as part of Singapore’s energy transition towards a low-carbon future, the EMA has selected five projects on 14 July 2025. Among these, YTLPS’ Post-Combustion Carbon Capture Study proposal was successfully selected to receive co-funding.
The Study is focused on retrofitting YTLPS’ H-Class CCGT with technology capable of capturing at least 90 percent of the plant’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. With its proven expertise, GE Vernova will focus the Study on the seamless integration of the H-Class CCGT plant with post-combustion carbon capture technology, supported by three key technical solutions:
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (“EGR”);
Steam integration; and
Controls integration
In comparison to traditional bolt-on post-combustion carbon capture solutions, the proposed GE Vernova’s advanced system integration with EGR technology allows a gas power plant with post-combustion carbon capture solutions to operate more efficiently and cost-effectively which reduces overall plant size, overall CAPEX and OPEX whilst also boosting overall integrated plant performance.
“We are enthusiastic that EMA awarded our 600 MW H-Class Combined Cycle Power Plant to study the integration of post-combustion carbon capture. Our participation in the GE Vernova-led study underscores our dedication to accelerating advanced solutions to potentially retrofit our power plant to achieve net zero emission, a vital step towards producing more sustainable energy for Singapore and our communities,” said John Ng, CEO of YTLPS.
“GE Vernova’s first-of-its-kind carbon capture assessment in Singapore proposes significant enhancements aimed at improving the proposed carbon capture process and reducing its impact on the power plants’ output, performance, and costs,” said Ramesh Singaram, President & CEO of GE Vernova's Gas Power business in Asia Pacific region. “GE Vernova will lead the full-scale integration of the study with the ultimate goal of lowering the net carbon emissions of the power plant. We remain committed to supporting the advancement of the region’s energy goals, working alongside carbon capture players to support YTL PowerSeraya’s decarbonization efforts.”
The announcement for the post-combustion carbon capture study was made at the sidelines of Singapore International Energy Week. This recent milestone follows other significant announcements for GE Vernova, including the selection for the innovative Net Zero Teesside (NZT) Power project, expected to be the world’s first gas-fired plant integrated with a carbon capture plant at commercial scale, and the order of GE Vernova’s combined cycle equipment to power YTLPS CCGT on Jurong Island, Singapore. The plant is expected to be powered by a 9HA.01 gas turbine, an STF-A650 steam turbine, a W88 generator, and a triple pressure with reheat Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG).
