Mitsubishi Power completes world’s largest hydrogen fuel blending project

Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Mitsubishi

Heavy Industries Ltd. (MHI) and Georgia Power, alongside the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), has successfully validated fuel blending of hydrogen and

natural gas at both partial and full load on a natural gas turbine at Georgia Power’s Plant McDonough-Atkinson in Georgia, United States. The project was the first and largest to validate 20% hydrogen fuel blending on an advanced class gas turbine globally. Mitsubishi Power provided full turnkey service for this project including engineering, planning, hydrogen blending hardware, controls, commissioning and

risk management.

This announcement is in line

with the recent Mitsubishi Power agreement with leading

Egyptian O&G Company Alexandria National Refining & Petrochemicals Company (ANRPC) to provide advanced hydrogen fuel conversion

technology solutions supporting the company to achieve its decarbonisation

goals.

The solution will be installed at the ARNPC refinery plant in Alexandria, which provides 30% of Egypt’s gasoline supply

for domestic consumption.
