GE Vernova, YTL PowerSeraya start CO2 capture feasibility study in Singapore
The study by GE Vernova and YTL PowerSeraya explores capturing 90% of CO2 from a new 600 MW H-Class gas plant, the first such post-combustion capture assessment in Singapore.

GE Vernova Inc. and YTLPowerSeraya Pte Limited (“YTLPS”) announced 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.
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).
