GE biogas engine technology to power three sites in Turkey
As Turkey looks to implement new energy targets under its economic development strategy, its focus is on increasing renewable energy sourcesand digitalization.
Helping support these goals, GE will provide its Jenbacher biogas engine technology and myPlant Asset Performance Management (APM) solution for three new landfill power production sites in Turkey owned by ITC-Ka Enerji Uretim Sanayi Ve Ticaret AS (ITC), the largest landfill gas power producer in the country.
The three landfill gas power facilities will convert organic waste into biogas that can generate renewable electricity and heat. The biogas produced will be used to fuel four of GE's Jenbacher J420 biogas engines at Eskisehir, nine at Antalya and three at the Alanya landfill sites.
The sites are configured to generate up to 50% of the common limit for nitrous oxide and will provide 22 megawatts (MW) of electrical power to the national grid. This represents enough power for 30,000 households in the three cities.
The equipment will be built at GE's Distributed Power facility in Jenbach, Austria, and it is expected to enter service during the second half of 2017.
