Mitsubishi Power and Entergy have signed a joint development agreement to collaborate in bringing decarbonisation projects to Entergy’s utility businesses in four states in USA: Arkansas, Louisiana, including the separate jurisdiction of New Orleans, Mississippi, and Texas. The companies will focus on generating hydrogen for gas turbines. This will include:

• Developing hydrogen-capable gas turbine combined cycle facilities.
• Developing green hydrogen production, storage, and transportation facilities.
• Creating nuclear-supplied electrolysis facilities with energy storage.
• Developing utility-scale battery storage systems.

Mitsubishi Power is a first mover in hydrogen-enabled gas turbines and short- and long-term solutions. It claims to provide the world’s first – and currently only – standard integrated green hydrogen packages. The Hydaptive and Hystore packages optimise integration across renewables, energy storage, and hydrogen-enabled gas turbine power plants, which all work together to create and use green hydrogen.

Mitsubishi Power has announced the sale of its first hydrogen-capable advanced class gas turbine for the Intermountain Power Plant, which plans to transition from coal to a mixture of 30 per cent hydrogen with natural gas by 2025, ramping to 100 per cent green hydrogen fuel by 2045.
