A lower-carbon revolution is brewing on the banks of the Ohio River. Next fall, in Hannibal, Ohio, a massive new gas turbine built by GE and running on a blend of natural gas and hydrogen will power a 485-megawatt power plant with enough capacity to light up the equivalent of 400,000 U.S. homes. Operated by Long Ridge Energy Terminal, a unit of private-equity companies Fortress Investment Group and GCM Grosvenor, the new plant is on track to be the first in the U.S.
Operational since early 2015, the Manjung 4 plant is playing its part in meeting demand for energy throughout Malaysia that is tipped in the World Energy Markets Observatory (WEMO) 2017 report, to increase by 4.8% per annum right up to 2030.
With more than 260 million operating hours accumulated by GE’s gas turbine fleet, we’re proud to deliver some of the most efficient, reliable and flexible solutions available in the industry today. GE is already helping to power the ASEAN region, and continues to work closely with nations like Indonesia to help attain ambitious energy development targets.
ASEAN is one of the fastest growing regions in the world; a diverse, dynamic economy worth over US$ 2 trillion and with a projected growth of 4 to 6 per cent in coming years. Yet without sufficient energy investment, that growth will falter. As such, 2016 will be a pivotal year in developing the energy landscape moving forward.
ASEAN’s primary energy mix is predicted to rise on average 4.7 per cent each year, to reach 1,685 million tons of oil equivalent (Mtoe) by 2035 according to the ASEAN Centre for Energy.
