Exelon contracts Nordex for Beebe Community Wind Farm

Statoil and its partner ExxonMobil have made a large gas discovery offshore Tanzania in the first exploration well in Block 2. Last week, Statoil and ExxonMobil said that they had encountered indications of natural gas in the Zafarani exploration well in the Block 2 license offshore Tanzania. The logging results now show that the discovery is a high impact discovery, so far proving up to 5 Tcf of gas in-place.

GE to power China’s largest waste-to-energy facility

“Traditionally, landfill methane as a potent greenhouse gas has been released directly into the air,” said Chen Hongzhang, general manager, Laogang Renewable Energy Co. “By using GE’s gas engines fueled by LFG, we expect to save emissions by over 340,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year, significantly improving the local environment in Shanghai.”

Siemens to supply steam turbine for waste-to-energy plant in England

The waste-to-energy plant in Plymouth is expected to use 245,000 metric tonnes of household, business, and industrial waste to generate electricity and heat by means of combined heat and power generation to ensure a reliable heat supply for Plymouth's Naval Base in south west England.

Construction of the 25MW power plant, with a maximum process steam extraction of up to 30 tonnes per hour, is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2012, with commissioning scheduled for 2014.

Siemens is responsible for the delivery, installation, and commissioning of the SST-400 steam turbine, including gearboxes and oil system as well as the electrical generator and auxiliary systems. The steam generator installed in the plant produces steam that drives the turbine to ultimately produce electricity.
