Presentation Outline
What is CHP?
South Hook History
South Hook CHP Concept
Conclusions

CHP = Combined Heat & Power

Same as cogeneration
Uses energy that would
otherwise be wasted from
thermal power production

CHP contributes 11% of

electric power in Europe,
8% in the United States

ExxonMobil LaBarge CHP

Wyoming, USA (100 MW)

CHP Offers Many Advantages

Energy efficiency
Emissions reduction
Operating cost savings

ExxonMobil Beaumont CHP

Texas, USA (~500 MW)

Reliability improvement

..CHP also has challenges

Brownfield construction

Location dependent on
site heat demand
High capex vs standalone gas power plant
ExxonMobil Antwerp CHP
Belgium (125 MW)

Requires stable
regulatory framework

South Hook LNG Terminal History

Located on Milford
Haven in Wales
South Hook Terminal
fully commissioned in
2010
Joint venture with Qatar
Petroleum International,
ExxonMobil, Total

Current Terminal Operation

South Hook is a conventional LNG receiving and

regassification terminal
Warm water, heated by fuel gas, is the medium
for heat transfer in the vaporisers

South Hook CHP Concept

Residual heat from a gas-fired

combined cycle plant could be
used for LNG vaporisation

SHCHP - High Efficiency

Heat from combustion used 3 times
Gas turbine generates power
Steam turbine generates power
Hot water vaporizes LNG
CHP efficiency ~ 85%

Conclusions
Gas plays a critical role in power generation

CHP can further extend the environmental

benefits of gas-fired power generation
Strong partnerships are key to identifying
innovative opportunities like South Hook CHP
