Chiyoda Corporation, one of Japan’s leading engineering and construction firm, announced that it has reached an agreement with Burmeister & Wain Energy A/S to license its CT-121 flue gas desulfurisation process technology(1) for use at Asnaes Power Station, which is owned by the major European energy provider Dong Energy A/S. The Asnaes coal-fired power station in Kalundborg is Denmark’s largest generating facility, with a total capacity of 1,057MW.
Under the agreement, Chiyoda will license the CT-121 process to BWE, and BWE will be responsible for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC.) This is the first contract acquired since Chiyoda executed a technology license agreement for Europe with major Danish energy provider BWE and the Italian company Salvatore Trifone & Figli SpA, the parent company of BWE, in 2004. In the European market, demand for flue gas desulfurisation plants is expected to rise steadily, particularly in Eastern Europe, and Chiyoda expects to acquire more contracts due to the superiority of its CT-121 process technology.
