ETKİ LİMAN İŞLETMELERİ DOĞAL GAZ İTHALAT VE TİCARET A.Ş

The utilization of natural gas, which is an alternative energy source to meet the growing energy demand borne from population growth and industrialization, began in the 1970s as a solution to escalating urban air pollution. The utilization rate and application areas of natural gas gradually increased thanks to its inherent advantages and growth in energy demand. Natural gas was first imported to Turkey in 1987. ETKI Liman completed construction of the Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Storage and Regasification Terminal, which meets the highest security standards, in the Kızılburun area of Çakmalı village in the Aliağa district of the Izmir province. The terminal was commissioned in December 2016 for the regasification of liquefied natural gas imported by gas carrier ships by means of vessels referred to as Floating Storage Regasification Units (FSRU). The terminal plays a critical role in meeting seasonal fluctuations in natural gas consumption. Furthermore, it aims to maintain the system pressure profile and ensure the security of the natural gas supply by delivering the maximum amount of gas from the terminal to the system, particularly during peak consumption periods. The terminal facilitates the distribution of gas from alternative sources when needed without depending on pipelines, creating an additional supply to the national natural gas system to the extent of its storage and regasification capacities. The ETKI Floating LNG Terminal enables natural gas to be imported from varying sources of supply. It also grants daily and hourly supply flexibility to the system on peak consumption days, and enables the national gas transmission network to be fed uninterruptedly, which contributes to the security of supply in household and industrial consumption as well as in the electricity generation industry.
 

HİDRO-GEN ENERJİ İTH. İHR. DAĞ. VE TİC. A.Ş.

Hidro-Gen Enerji Ithalat Ihracat Dağıtım ve Ticaret A.Ş. (Hidro-Gen) was founded in 2007 as a subsidiary of the Koloğlu Holding Group. The “Soma Kolin Thermal Power Plant”, which features an installed capacity of 2 x 255 electrical megawatts, was commissioned by Hidro-Gen and started commercial operations in the Soma district of Manisa province in 2019. Within the scope of the “National Energy” policy led by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, the Soma Kolin Thermal Power Plant is the leading project which efficiently generates power by using local resources from the Soma region, which has the 2nd largest lignite reserve in Turkey.

This project will enable our country’s economy to acquire electricity from 4.7 million tons of lignite annually, thereby reducing dependency and imports of natural gas up to almost $190 million annually. The Soma Kolin Thermal Power Plant will be operated by the Koloğlu Holding Group for 30 years from the date of commissioning. Within the operating period of 30 years, 120 million tons of coal will be used for generating power.  Deniş II, Kozluören, Türkpiyale open-pit mines and Soma Kolin Thermal Power Plant mine sites that will use Evciler closed-pit mine sites have been established for a total investment of $ 1.1 billion with a switchyard and energy transmission lines, ash storage area, pipe conveyor lines between the mine and the ash storage areas and the power plant, 2 ponds together with a water supply system consisting of 1 regulator and transmission lines. The construction of the Soma Kolin Thermal Power Plant is an example of international engineering work. The project is the product of cooperation of Turkish, Chinese, Finnish and German Engineers. The EPSC Contractor Chinese "Harbin Electric International" managed all the processes from the commencement of the project to the commissioning of the power plant and the initiation of commercial production.

By factoring the local lignite quality and properties, the plant uses modern Circulating Fluidized Bed Technology to ensure the low-calorie fuel with high ash, sulfur and humidity content, to combust with the highest efficiency (46,15%, gross), and the plant is equipped with boilers, desulfurization and particulate collection systems of the world-renowned Sumitomo Foster Wheeler that is the leader in the market. The plant’s Circulating Fluidized Bed boiler ranks among the 10 largest of its kind in the world. 2 x SST5-5000 series high efficiency steam turbine and generators sets of 255 MWe capacity, engineered and manufactured by “Siemens AG” in Germany, are used in the Some Kolin Thermal Power Plant.

The “Circulating Fluidized Bed Technology” utilized as the power plant’s coal combustion method is recognized as environmentally friendly, clean, ideal and the most advanced coal-burning technology for Turkish coals. In addition to creating the highest combustion efficiency, this technology provides low sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions below environmentally safe limits. With this technology, sulfur dioxide is removed by adding limestone to the boiler, and the nitrogen oxide removal is enabled by high combustion yield. For the plant’s flue gas desulfurization system, the company selected a state-of-the-art technology, and the emission levels achieved by the plant’s flue gas treatment system satisfy the emission limits in effect in Turkey and the European norms (Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU). Moreover, this system will help meet the even lower emission targets to be stipulated by the European Union in the upcoming years without requiring any additional investments. The Soma Kolin Thermal Power Plant has fulfilled all its obligations under the environmental regulation in force and was granted the Environmental Permit and License Certificate by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization.
