KBR (NYSE: KBR) today announced that it has been awarded a
contract by Beijing Guoneng Yinghui Clean Energy Engineering Co.,
Ltd. (Beijing Guoneng) to provide licensing, engineering services
and proprietary equipment for the implementation of KBR’s and
Southern Company’s Transport Integrated Gasification technology
(TRIG™) at a Dongguan IGCC Power Plant in Guandong Province,
People's Republic of China.
The contract award marks China as the site for the first
worldwide commercial implementation of the TRIG™ technology with
the goal of producing low-emission, coal-based electricity. The
TRIG™ technology will enable Dongguan to tap into affordable, low
rank coal reserves that would otherwise be uneconomic to develop.
Once on stream, TRIG™ will help provide clean, reliable and
affordable coal-based electricity for one of the most populous
regions in the world. Work is expected to begin immediately.
TRIG™ coal gasification technology was co-developed with the
Southern Company and others and in conjunction with the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE).
“KBR is proud that TRIG™ was selected for this historic
implementation in China by virtue of TRIG™ technology's fit with
Beijing Guoneng’s long-term business objectives,” said John Rose,
Group President, KBR Hydrocarbons. “We look forward to helping our
client address the region’s need for new energy sources in an
environmentally responsible way."
Dongguan IGCC Power Plant is the first phase of the total 920MW
Sun State IGCC Power Project developed by Beijing Guoneng. This
phase of the IGCC Power Plant will generate 120MW of electric
power. It is scheduled to be commissioned by February 2011. The
second phase will be an 800MW IGCC Power Plant. It is estimated to
be completed by 2012.
KBR is a global engineering, construction and services company
supporting the energy, hydrocarbon, government services and civil
infrastructure sectors. For more information, visit
