Khalid Salem, President of Mitsubishi Power for the Middle East and North Africa, discusses the energy transition in the region, emphasizing the role of hydrogen-ready gas turbines in achieving ambitious decarbonisation goals like UAE Net Zero 2050 and Saudi Vision 2030. The MENA region's gas infrastructure is evolving to support decarbonisation strategies, with electricity demand expected to double by 2030. Mitsubishi Power's advanced gas technologies, like combined cycle gas turbines (CCGT), are crucial for clean and reliable power generation, offering over 60% emission reduction compared to traditional plants. Hydrogen-ready turbines are identified as key enablers for a cleaner, electrified future in MENA, providing reliability and sustainability. Mitsubishi Power is actively developing these turbines, designed to run on natural gas now and transition to hydrogen in the near future, supporting a gradual shift to cleaner fuels without compromising reliability. Real-world projects in Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Egypt showcase the deployment of hydrogen-ready gas turbines, contributing to decarbonisation efforts and grid resilience. Hydrogen's strategic significance in the region includes future-proofing infrastructure, decarbonising existing assets, and supporting national visions for sustainability. By utilizing hydrogen in gas turbines, emission reductions equivalent to removing thousands of vehicles from the roads can be achieved. Mitsubishi Power's innovative solutions align with national visions like the UAE Energy Strategy 2050 and Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable energy practices and grid resilience.
