DEWA’s TESTIAC project reduces 44,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually

Dubai, UAE: Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA)’s Thermal Energy Storage and Turbine Inlet Air Chilling (TESTIAC) project implemented in three Gas Turbines at L-Station in Jebel Ali Power and Desalination Complex has contributed to reducing more than 44,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, which is equivalent to the planting of two million trees.

This project is the first of its kind internationally combining Thermal Energy Storage with Inlet Air Chilling in Frame 9F Gas Turbines. This reduces the consumption of natural gas in the electricity production process, which limits greenhouse gas emissions.
