Partnership for Clean Energy: MHI and EGAT Collaborate on Hydrogen Co-firing in Thailand
Key Ideas
- MHI and EGAT signed an MoU to research hydrogen co-firing technologies for gas turbine power generation in Thailand, aiming to achieve a 20% hydrogen co-firing ratio.
- The partnership aligns with Thailand's carbon neutrality and net zero emissions goals, fostering clean energy initiatives and technology exchange between Japan and Thailand.
- The collaboration extends a previous agreement from 2022 and marks a significant milestone in Thailand's energy transition towards utilizing cleaner energy sources.
- MHI and Mitsubishi Power aim to support Thailand's energy transition by leveraging over 50 years of partnership to contribute to environmental sustainability and business opportunities in the electricity production sector.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and Thailand's Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to conduct research on hydrogen co-firing technologies for gas turbine power generation facilities in Thailand. This partnership, announced at the 6th Japan-Thailand Energy Policy Dialogue in Tokyo, aims to facilitate the conversion of thermal power plants to fire clean fuels, supporting Thailand's goals of carbon neutrality by 2050 and net zero emissions by 2065. The collaboration will kickstart with a hydrogen co-firing pilot project at one of EGAT's power plants in Thailand. The project, backed by MHI's power solutions brand Mitsubishi Power, targets achieving a 20% hydrogen co-firing ratio by EGAT's request. The partnership builds on an existing agreement from 2022 and is a significant step in Thailand's energy transition towards cleaner energy sources. The initiative is expected to drive advancements in clean energy technology, enhance business opportunities in Thailand's electricity production sector, and contribute to environmental sustainability. MHI and Mitsubishi Power are committed to supporting Thailand's goal of net-zero emissions through their expertise and experience in the power generation sector.
