INNIO TO SUPPLY MINE IN CHINA WITH 8 GAS-ENGINE GENERATORS

Monday, March 11th, 2019

INNIO will supply Chongqing Yuxin Energy’s Chongqing Songzao Coal Mine plant, owned by Chongqing Energy Investment Group (CQEIG), with eight of its 3.35 MW Jenbacher J620 gas engines for an expansion of the coal mine methane (CMM) gas-fuelled power plant. The project, located approximately 150 km from Chongqing City, is supporting the country’s efforts to reduce the environmental impacts of coal production.
When the 26.8-MW expansion will be completed in 2019, a total of 55.8 MW of gas engine power will be connected to the local grid. By capturing the mine’s methane-rich gas to produce on-site power with the Jenbacher gas engines, a significant reduction of the potent greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere.
