Outline of GHG Mitigation Activity
This project replaces two aged 37.5MW steam turbines with 42MW turbines with higher efficiency to improve power generation efficiency and expand capacity at the Palinpinon geothermal power plant, which has three steam turbines, in Negros Island. The additional electricity generated is sold to electric power companies through grid.
This project reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by replacing part of the electricity from the fossil fuel-derived grid power electricity with renewable energy.
Expected GHG Emission Reductions
37,180 tCO2-eq./year
= Reference CO2 emissions [tCO2/year]
– Project CO2 emissions [tCO2/year]
・ Reference CO2 emissions [tCO2/year]
= {(Power generation after rehabilitation) [MWh/year] – (Power generation before rehabilitation) [MWh/year]}
X Emission factor [tCO2/MWh]
・ Project CO2 emissions
= Associated GHG emissions after rehabilitation [tCO2 /year]
– Associated GHG emissions before rehabilitation [tCO2 /year]
