| KBR awarded contract for TRIG implementation in China US-based engineering firm KBR 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, Peoples 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. TRIG coal gasification technology was co-developed with the Southern Company and others and in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
