The partnership also builds on a separate cooperation between IHI and GE Vernova on developing a retrofittable, 100% ammonia-capable combustion system that is compatible with specific GE Vernova turbine models.
Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp), IHI Corporation (IHI) and GE Vernova’s Gas Power business have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) where all parties will explore the potential retrofitting of Sembcorp’s Sakra power plant in Singapore with ammonia-firing capabilities.
The latest partnership is an extension of an MOU signed between Sembcorp and IHI in 2022. At the time, both parties were looking to explore decarbonisation pathways for the power and industrial sector, in particular ammonia direct combustion systems.
