Atuabo waste-to-power independent power producer project, Ghana
Name of the Project
Atuabo waste-to-power independent power producer project.
Location
Ghana.
Client
GE Power and Marinus Energy.
Project Description
The project involves the construction of a pilot plant to capture isopentane gas, which would otherwise have been flared, to use as a fuel source for generating electricity. The gas turbine will start on lean gas and switch to the isopentane mix over time.
In the first phase, Atuabo will convert the isopentane fuel into as much as 25 MW of power, generating enough electricity for more than 100 000 Ghanaian households.
As additional gas is brought onshore, the plant is expected to add additional gas-generating units up to a capacity of 100 MW.
