In the midst of globally accelerating moves toward a decarbonized society, Mitsubishi Power, Ltd. (Mitsubishi Power) has made continuous efforts to develop hydrogen/ammonia-firing Gas Turbine Combined Cycle (GTCC) power generation systems. The development of a gas turbine combustor that can operate with a mix of natural gas and 30 vol% of hydrogen has been completed for large frame gas turbines. Mitsubishi Power is also developing a 100% hydrogen-firing combustor. A promising Gas Turbine Combined Cycle using ammonia is also under development, facilitating energy transportation of hydrogen to further expand the lineup of carbon-free power generation systems. With these technologies, Mitsubishi Power is participating in hydrogen-firing GTCC projects in Europe, North America and other continents targeting commercialization in the mid-2020s. By increasing hydrogen demand, especially through large-capacity and high-efficiency GTCC systems, Mitsubishi Power is set to lead the establishment of an international hydrogen supply chain and contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society.
