Reduce CO2 emissions by developing a gas turbine that can utilize hydrogen
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries: Participating in hydrogen production in Australia: H2U Investments
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries:
On November 26, it announced that it had invested in a local company engaged in businesses such as hydrogen and ammonia production in Australia.
The investment amount is not disclosed.
Production of hydrogen and ammonia:
Participate in “a project to produce hydrogen and ammonia using electricity from renewable energy”.
Reduce carbon dioxide (CO2):
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is developing a gas turbine that reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) by co-firing hydrogen.
We will also aim to introduce such next-generation technologies.
H2U Investments:
H2U Investments. A hydrogen and ammonia production project is underway in South Australia.
With this investment, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
Using electricity from renewable energy
Plants that electrolyze water to produce hydrogen,
Participate in the construction of a plant that produces ammonia from hydrogen.
Demonstration of hydrogen gas turbine:
It also plans to demonstrate a hydrogen gas turbine.
The project will start producing hydrogen and ammonia at the end of 2022.
In the future, the produced hydrogen and ammonia will be exported to Japan.

MHI to Invest in Green Hydrogen & Green Ammonia in South Australia
To Deliver Project Engineering, Hydrogen Gas Turbines and Compressors to Decarbonize Local Industries,
Targeting Green Hydrogen and Ammonia Exports to Japan and Other Countries Going Forward
The first project of the initiatives, Eyre Peninsula GatewayTM in southwest South Australia
is planned to commence commercial production of green hydrogen and ammonia towards the end of 2022.
Green hydrogen produced by water electrolysis using power derived from renewable energy
sources such as wind and solar, will be used in the manufacture of green ammonia, and to demonstrate hydrogen-powered gas turbine generators.
MHI will participate in the project by contributing engineering resources to the FEED study phase,
and also by providing key plant equipment, including hydrogen gas turbines and hydrogen compressors.
As part of the project, MHI and H2U
will investigate synergies with nearby industrial operations, including shared infrastructure for the further reduction of total CO2 emissions in the region.
