Mitsubishi Power Successfully Operates an Advanced Class Gas Turbine with 30% Hydrogen Fuel Co-Firing at Grid-Connected T-Point 2

Tokyo, November 30, 2023 - Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), successfully executed a fuel blend of 30% hydrogen (Note1) and natural gas demonstration at partial load and full load using a grid-connected state-of-the-art 1,650℃ class J-series Air-Cooled (JAC) gas turbine. The demonstration took place at the T-Point 2 Combined Cycle Power Plant Validation Facility with a rated output of 566 megawatts (MW) within Takasago Hydrogen Park, (Note2) within its Takasago Machinery Works in Takasago City, Hyogo Prefecture in west central Japan. Using hydrogen produced at Takasago Hydrogen Park, this demonstration was the world's first power generation test on a large frame gas turbine using a fuel mixture of 30% hydrogen while connected to the local power grid and using hydrogen produced and stored on the same site.
