GE has concluded a commercial alliance agreement with Norway-based Sargas AS to provide a gas turbine for one of the world’s first gas-fired plants with integrated carbon capture for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Traditionally, carbon capture for gas-fired turbine plants relied on government subsidies and advanced technology research.
