Siemens Gas and Power and energy major Total are now working together to achieve the lowest possible plant emissions profile and the highest degree of sustainability in liquified natural gas (LNG) production.
The companies plan to explore a variety of liquefaction and power-generation plant designs, with the goal of decarbonizing the production of LNG.
They will focus on reducing the environmental footprint of LNG liquefaction facilities and associated greenhouse gas emissions through the use of gas turbine- and electric-driven compression trains; single-mixed and double-mixed refrigerant technologies; equipment that can minimize or eliminate process flaring; and new techniques to improve the efficiency of power-generation facilities.
They will also explore ways to employ digitalization and automation platforms to improve plant design and project execution.
