Learn about the ORC system's role in the JCM - 29MW Binary Power Generation - Project in the Philippines 🇵ðŸ‡
The 29MW Binary Power Generation Project at Palayan Geothermal Power Plant is a significant step towards a sustainable future in the Philippines.
Led by Turboden S.p.A. and Mitsubishi Power, this project aims to harness geothermal energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It involves integrating a 29MW Organic Rankine Cycle (#ORC) system developed by Turboden with the existing flash #geothermal power plant owned by Bac-Man Geothermal Inc. The project is expected to contribute to the country's renewable energy goals and mitigate CO2 emissions by approximately 72,200 tons annually.
The project was selected as a Joint Crediting Mechanism (#JCM) Model Project in 2020, showcasing its environmental significance. By utilizing low-enthalpy hot water and optimizing the use of previously reinjected brine, the project effectively replaces power from fossil fuels with renewable geothermal energy. This transition helps reduce CO2 emissions associated with traditional power generation and promotes a greener energy mix.
With the #Philippines being a global leader in geothermal power generation, the project highlights the country's abundant geothermal resources and commitment to sustainable energy development. By leveraging the expertise of Mitsubishi Power and Turboden, the project paves the way for the adoption of binary cycle power generation equipment on a global scale.
Through this project, the country moves closer to achieving its #renewableenergy targets while fostering a greener and more #sustainableenergy sector.
