Siemens Energy to Supply Industrial Gas Turbine for Power Plant in Chiba
The full scope of supply
will consist of the SGT-800 gas turbine, a generator and turbine controls, with
the performance test completion of the plant planned
for 2023. This inaugural SGT-800 order intake is an important positioning for
Siemens Energy to penetrate Japan’s cogeneration market, and to be regarded as
a clean, viable alternative with low carbon emissions - a departure from the traditional
coal-fueled plants. It also underscores Siemens Energy’s commitment to the
Japanese market with local offices and experts supporting the country’s energy
transition efforts.
For Sumitomo Chemical,
the plan to redivert its resources to this new facility from the previous
fossil fuel plant - to be closed down soon – signifies its best intention to
reduce carbon emissions by more than 240,000 tons annually, which is equivalent
to about 20% of carbon emissions produced by Chiba Works.

President & CEO Mr. Yasuhiko Otsuki said this milestone achievement is a
significant step towards expanding the sales of gas turbines for cogeneration
plants and similar operations in Japan, and that Siemens Energy will provide
the full support on project execution to commercial operation.
“The SGT-800
gas turbine is a best-in-class gas turbine with a proven track record. To date,
about 400 units have been ordered and installed in plants worldwide. We are
pleased to receive this first SGT-800 order in Japan that, once operational,
will help contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions by our customers,”
said Mr Otsuki.
