- The industrial-scale facility will produce green biochemicals without the use of fossil-based raw
materials
- The biorefinery will be the first industrial-scale facility of its type ever built
- Siemens Energy will provide the entire electrification, automation, and digitalization (EAD)
solution as well as deliver a complete digital twin
The Finnish company UPM-Kymmene selected Siemens Energy to supply electrification, automation,
and digitalization (EAD) packages for a next-generation biorefinery currently under construction in

- New gas-fired power plant to serve as special
grid-related equipment
- Plant can provide up to 300 Megawatts in as
little as to 30 minutes
- Modern service center enables purely digital
remote operation
Siemens Energy will build a new turnkey gas-fired power plant as special grid-related equipment in Leipheim, southwestern Bavaria, in a contract with LEAG, an energy provider based in eastern Germany. The grid supporting plant will be used at the request of the transmission grid operator Amprion to ensure grid stability in an emergency and therefore ensure a reliable power supply in southern Germany. Emergency situations can occur when there’s a failure of equipment in the grid, like cables. The Leipheim gas-fired power plant will be used exclusively to protect and ensure the reliability of the transmission grid. It’s therefore not available to the free energy market, according to the German Energy Industry Act (Energiewirtschaftsgesetz). The special grid-related equipment in Leipheim will be able to supply an electrical capacity of up to 300 Megawatts in a maximum period of 30 minutes. Siemens Energy will also manage its operation and maintenance (O&M), initially for five years, in collaboration with LEAG. The plant will be operated entirely from Siemens Energy’s ISO-certified Remote O&M Support Center (ROMSC) in Erlangen, Bavaria. This means that it will be one of the first power plants worldwide to be operated purely digitally from a remote location.
- New combined cycle power plant
will have a generation capacity of 390 megawatt (MW)
- Supports the region’s vision of
clean, high-quality, and affordable energy
- SGT5-4000F will be first
F-class turbine in Sub-Saharan Africa
Siemens Energy
has signed an agreement with Spanish EPC contractor TSK to provide the
company’s highly efficient energy technology and services to Atinkou (formerly
known as Ciprel V), a new combined cycle power plant to be built in
Jacqueville, Côte d'Ivoire. Owned by ATINKOU S.A., a subsidiary of Eranove, the
power plant will have an installed capacity of 390 MW in combined cycle and
introduces the first F-class gas turbine in the Sub-Saharan Africa. The plant
is scheduled to begin operations in late 2022.
- Scope includes two compression trains driven
by SGT-750 industrial gas turbines with dry-low emissions (DLE) combustion
systems
- Commissioning of
the trains slated for late 2021
Siemens
Energy was selected by engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC)
company, Enter Engineering Pte. Ltd., to supply two low-emission compression
trains for Phase I of the Gazli Underground Gas Storage (UGS) project in the Bukhara region of
Uzbekistan. The two trains will help extract up to 20 million standard cubic
meters per day (MMSm3/d) of stored gas in the Gazli field and
pressurize it for transportation by pipeline to domestic users in Uzbekistan
and export to China. The project marks
an essential step in helping the region sustainably meet domestic energy demand.
- Joint trial of a large-scale, high-temperature heat pump in district heating network
- Waste heat and renewable electricity utilized to achieve heating transition in Berlin
- Federal government-funded project links heat, cooling, and electricity
Vattenfall
Wärme Berlin AG and Siemens Energy signed an agreement today to demonstrate and
trial a new large-scale, high-temperature heat pump in Berlin. In the Qwark³
project (the German acronym represents “coupling of district heating, power,
and cooling”), they will test the use of this new technology for the first time
at Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz to generate green district heating using waste heat
and electricity from renewables, and feed it into Berlin’s district heating
network. The project is funded by the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and
Energy as part of its 7th Energy Research Program: The aim of the
pilot project is to establish robust claims regarding the technical and
economic potential of generating heat using large-scale and high-temperature
heat pumps.
- Siemens Energy was awarded an engineering procurement construction (EPC) contract from
MISC Berhad for the supply of eight complete topside modules for a floating production, storage,
and offloading (FPSO) vessel
- The FPSO will operate in an oil field offshore South America and is scheduled for start-up in 2024
Siemens Energy was awarded a topside EPC contract by MISC Berhad for eight complete topside
modules that will provide sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly power generation,
transmission, and distribution, as well as gas processing and compression aboard an FPSO that will
operate offshore South America starting in 2024.
- Continuation of Siemens
Energy’s strategic cooperation with Shenzhen Energy
- The next world-class
performance benchmark for F-class combined cycle project
Siemens Energy has been selected by Shenzhen
Energy Corporation (Shenzhen Energy) in China to supply two 460-megawatt (MW) F-class
gas turbine power islands for Phase Two of the Corporation’s Fengda Power Plant
Natural Gas Power Generation Expansion Project. The order marks another
milestone resulting from the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement signed
by the two companies in 2019.
- Two SGT5-4000F units for
Guangdong Energy Group new CHP project
- Most advanced F-class technology
to date
- Carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions reduction of up to 60% by utilizing natural gas as fuel source versus
coal
Siemens
Energy has reached an agreement with Guangdong Energy Group Co., Ltd.
(Guangdong Energy Group), to provide F-class gas turbine island equipment for the
Zhaoqing Dinghu Combined Heat and Power (CHP) generation project. Located in Dinghu District, Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province, the
project is expected to be put into operation in 2023. When completed, it will
become a key part for optimizing the energy structure and layout of the
Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and building a modern energy
supply system.
- Two jack-up rigs were retrofitted with Siemens Energy’s BlueVault™ lithium-ion energy storage system.
- Initial data show that the low-emission upgrades in batteries, data monitoring, and other efficiency measures can deliver reductions in CO2 by up to 25 percent and NOx emissions by up to 95 percent.
Siemens
Energy signed an agreement with Maersk Drilling to upgrade two ultra-harsh
environment CJ70 jack-up drilling rigs in the North Sea with hybrid power
plants using lithium-ion energy storage. The rigs – the Maersk Intrepid and Maersk
Integrator – were retrofitted with BlueVault™ batteries from Siemens Energy.
They are the first jack-ups to employ a combination of hybrid, low-emission
solutions on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
