In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), announced the completion and handover of a pioneering hydrogen fuel conversion project at the Alexandria National Refining and Petrochemicals Company (ANRPC) refinery in Egypt.
This project is considered the first industrial application of hydrogen use as fuel in industrial boiler in Egypt and the MENA region, according to the report.
Under the terms of the full turnkey contract, announced in 2022, Mitsubishi Power undertook the design, engineering, supply and installation of the solutions, equipment, and control systems to rehabilitate and upgrade a 100-ton-per-hour main boiler, converting it from heavy fuel oil and natural gas to a 100% hydrogen fuel. The project also contributed to the utilization of 14,000 tons per year of hydrogen-rich gases available in the production units, reducing natural gas consumption by approximately 24,000 tons and contributing to a reduction of carbon emissions by approximately 65,000 tons per year, the report added.
