ultimate goal . These advancements are at the forefront of transforming the world ’ s energy systems , both as a fuel to decarbonise heavy industry that cannot be simply electrified and as a storage medium for renewable energy .”
Applying this to areas where decarbonisation is paramount , such as heavy industry and the power sector , hydrogen is certain to support renewable-powered economies of the future . Mitsubishi Power aligns its focus to develop solutions that will allow hydrogen to empower operators and high-emitting sectors – including the
likes of steel manufacturing , aluminium and cement – to decarbonise .
“ This can be a challenge due to financial restraints such as space to build new equipment ,” Javier adds . “ That ’ s why we have a suite of technologies along the CO2 reduction and hydrogen value chains that meet power operators where they are on their decarbonisation journey . Our hydrogen technologies work with existing gas turbines to increase efficiency and reduce carbon utilisation , providing an immediate benefit for operators without significant cost . “ Hydrogen can also realise the potential of renewables as a majority
