Javier Cavada, President and CEO for EMEA at Mitsubishi Power, discusses the role of hydrogen in sustainable energy generation. Highlighting the challenges in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the power generation sector, he emphasizes the need for solutions that do not disrupt the industry's efficiency and profitability. Mitsubishi Power, as a key player in the energy sector, recognizes the potential of hydrogen in decarbonizing power generation. Comparing the efficiency and emissions of coal and natural gas, Javier Cavada advocates for the transition from coal to natural gas as a stepping stone towards a zero-emission future. He sees hydrogen as a vital component in achieving this goal, especially in sectors where reliable energy sources are essential. While hydrogen technology is still in its early stages, Cavada draws parallels with the evolution of natural gas and solar power, expressing confidence in hydrogen's future scalability and cost-effectiveness. However, the success of hydrogen technologies hinges on supportive regulations that foster business growth and economies of scale. Cavada stresses the importance of regulatory frameworks aligning with technological advancements to drive the widespread adoption of hydrogen-based solutions. Anticipating a significant increase in hydrogen utilization by 2030, he calls for stable political environments and regulatory certainty to propel the energy transition forward.
