Mitsubishi Power underscores progress to fastrack hydrogen ecosystem development at COP28

Dubai, UAE – Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), underscored its progress to fast track the development of the hydrogen ecosystem at COP28, which just concluded in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. In recognition of the key role of hydrogen to achieve the decarbonization of energy systems, 39 countries launched last week the COP28 Declaration of Intent on Hydrogen which is designed to accelerate the commercialization of hydrogen on a global scale and meet global energy demand. Mitsubishi Power is a frontrunner in developing a hydrogen ecosystem for the decarbonization of energy systems, harnessing decades of experience. Investing heavily in the development of clean technology, the company has completed the world's first 30% hydrogen blend power generation validation on a grid-connected state-of-the-art 1,650? class J-series Air-Cooled (JAC) gas turbine using hydrogen produced and stored on the same site. Speaking at Climate Action’s Hydrogen Transition Summit, Dr. Javier Cavada, President and CEO of Europe, Middle East and Africa at Mitsubishi Power, emphasized the role of hydrogen in future proofing the global energy systems: "It's time to act and find pragmatic solutions that will allow us to drive a fair and just energy transition.
