Powering Net Zero

The Powering Net Zero Consortium comprises Siemens Energy, Aker Solutions and Doosan Babcock. This partnership has been formed to provide Low Carbon Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Plant with Carbon and Storage. To complement variable renewable generation, reliable, dispatchable and flexible abated CCGT power generation is vital to achieving a dependable zero carbon electricity network by 2035, ensuring demand is met during periods of low power generation from renewables. Flexibility and electricity security are increasingly important issues for power systems, particularly those that are integrating a growing share of variable renewable energy. CCUS-equipped power plants can provide this extra flexibility across broad timescales, ranging from the very short term (e.g. grid services, inertia, and frequency ancillary services) to the very long-term (e.g. seasonal variations). Siemens Energy, is a leading energy technology company focused on driving decarbonization, offers an established UK track record in the delivery of CCGT power plants and strong operations and maintenance capabilities. www.siemens-energy.com/global/en/offerings/power-generation/gas-turbines.html Doosan Babcock is an engineering and construction company with a rich heritage in the construction, rehabilitation and retrofit of power plants, as well as experience in the refining, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. https://www.doosanbabcock.com/en/ Aker Solutions has worked on CO2 treatment solutions since the 1990s and has extensive experience of delivering end-to-end solutions for large complex projects across Europe. https://www.akersolutions.com/who-we-are/ The consortium is working in close collaboration with Aker Carbon Capture which provides high efficiency CO2 capture technology with low solvent degradation and low emissions. https://akercarboncapture.com/
