MHPS Successfully Tests Large-scale High-efficiency Gas Turbine Fueled by 30% Hydrogen Mix
SHARE
･ New technology delivers 10% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to natural-gas-fired power plants
･ Stable combustion, lower NOx emissions enabled by proprietary burner developed through NEDO project
Yokohama, January 19, 2018 - A large-scale gas turbine for use in power generation under development by Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) has successfully passed a firing test using a 30% hydrogen fuel mix(Note1). The test results confirmed that by using MHPS's proprietary burner, which was newly developed to burn hydrogen, stable combustion can be attained even when hydrogen is mixed with natural gas. Using a 30% hydrogen mixture, a reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of 10% was achieved, compared to natural-gas-fired power generation.
