Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Partners with EGAT to Advance Hydrogen Co-firing Technology in Thailand
Key Ideas
  • Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and EGAT signed an MoU to research hydrogen co-firing for gas turbines in Thailand, supporting the country's carbon neutrality goals.
  • The partnership aims to achieve a hydrogen co-firing ratio of 20% by EGAT's request, with a pilot project scheduled at an EGAT power plant by 2025.
  • The collaboration between the two organizations is expected to drive advancements in clean energy technology and contribute to Thailand's energy transition and environmental sustainability.
  • This agreement builds on an earlier partnership between MHI and EGAT, marking a significant milestone in Thailand's journey towards utilizing cleaner energy sources for its net-zero goals.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and Thailand's Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) have signed an MoU to conduct research on hydrogen co-firing technologies for gas turbine power generation in Thailand. The research aims to help convert thermal power plants to use clean fuels, supporting Thailand's carbon neutrality goals. A pilot project for hydrogen co-firing will be initiated at an EGAT power plant, with a feasibility study planned by March 2025. The partnership between MHI and EGAT is seen as a significant step in driving clean energy technology advancements and contributing to Thailand's energy transition. This collaboration follows a previous MoU between the two organizations and focuses on advancing hydrogen co-firing technology. The partnership also includes exploring clean fuel power generation, clean hydrogen, and CCUS technologies. MHI and Mitsubishi Power will continue to support Thailand's move towards cleaner energy sources and net-zero objectives.
