MHPS pioneers first hydrogen-capable J-Series gas turbines – Saudi Gazette

RIYADH - Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) has secured an order for the first advanced-class gas turbines designed to transition to renewable hydrogen fuel from Utah's state-owned Intermountain Power Agency (IPA) in the United States of America.. The award marks the first Advanced Class Gas Turbines in the industry specifically designed and purchased as part of a comprehensive plan to decommission a coal fired power plant to transition to renewable hydrogen fuel - and create a road map for the global industry to follow.. The ACES project will use a combination of renewable power to store and produce hydrogen through electrolysis.. According to MHPS, countries with favorable renewable energy environments like Saudi Arabia, can evolve into supply hubs of commercially competitive hydrogen fuel or hydrogen power continuing to play a central role in world energy supply.. We worked hard to develop a total solution for our customer IPA that included not only gas turbines capable of using renewable hydrogen fuel, but also the nearby ACES project, which will affordably generate and store large quantities of renewable hydrogen.".
