Located in the Yangpu Economic Development Zone, the project has a total installed capacity of 990,000 kilowatts, produced by two 495,000-kW 9F natural gas-steam combined cycle units.
It can generate about 4 billion kilowatt-hours of power and provide about 10.38 million gigajoules of heat annually, equaling that resulting from burning about 280,000 metric tons of standard coal, which represents a reduction of about 750,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
The project is expected to improve energy and power supply capacity of the Hainan Free Trade Port and meet the increasing heat demands of Yangpu while promoting the high-quality development of the Danyang Economic Circle.
During construction, China Huaneng Group Co., Ltd., developer of the project, adopted five self-developed technologies and obtained more than 200 patents.
It's worth noting that the project is also equipped with a gas turbine carbon capture facility based on Huaneng-developed carbon capture, utilization and storage technology, which can capture 2,000 tons of carbon annually.
