MHI and Uzbekistan Ministry of Energy Collaborate on Hydrogen Co-firing Plan
Key Ideas
  • MHI and Uzbekistan's Ministry of Energy signed an MOU to study a power development plan with hydrogen co-firing capability for the country's gas turbine fleet.
  • The collaboration includes evaluating upgrades for existing power plants, new gas turbine combined cycle plants, and capacity planning with the latest technologies.
  • The program aims to support Uzbekistan's renewable energy goals, promote decarbonization through technologies like hydrogen co-firing and CCUS, and receive financial support from Japan's METI.
  • The initiative aligns with Japan-Uzbekistan energy cooperation efforts, focusing on energy transition, renewable energy, hydrogen, e-fuels, CCUS, and power generation technology for a carbon-neutral world.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and the Ministry of Energy of Uzbekistan have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly study a power development plan that includes the potential upgrade of Uzbekistan's gas turbine fleet with hydrogen co-firing capability. The collaboration involves evaluating upgrades for existing power plants, assessing new gas turbine combined cycle plants with hydrogen co-firing, and planning capacity utilizing the latest technologies. This initiative, supported by financial aid from Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, aims to align with Uzbekistan's renewable energy targets by 2030, promoting decarbonization through technologies such as hydrogen co-firing and carbon capture. Additionally, the program seeks to enhance Japan-Uzbekistan energy cooperation, focusing on energy transition, renewable energy, hydrogen, e-fuels, CCUS, and efficient power generation technology. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is positioned as a key player in promoting a carbon-neutral world through innovative solutions.
