RENEWABLE & GREEN ENERGY
“ By utilising digital technologies , we can accelerate the scale-up of hydrogen projects and also ensure they are economically viable and safe , thereby supporting the global transition to a lowcarbon economy ,” Paige continues .
A result of AspenTech ’ s digital solutions includes an optimised hydrogen value chain , eradicating part of what is often known as the ‘ green premium ’ – the additional cost of choosing a clean technology over one that emits more greenhouse gases – by boosting efficiency and trimming costs .
Hydrogen : The cleanest and easiest option ? Dr Javier Cavada is President andCEO Europe , Middle East and Africa at Mitsubishi Power .
As accelerating decarbonisation and providing solutions to combat climate change is one of his main focus areas , he utilises Mitsubishi Power ’ s 50 years of hydrogen technology experience to push the boundaries of what ’ s possible – in engineering terms – to progress the global energy transition by developing zero-carbon solutions .
Mitsubishi Power ’ s hydrogen-ready gas turbines , for example , have been validated and commercialised in a gridconnected application to run on 30 % hydrogen with efficiency of more than 64 %. The turbine is also fully adaptable for future hydrogen fuel conversion .
He says : “ We ’ ve also already demonstrated the technology for gas turbines to run on 100 % hydrogen , which of course is our
