In Malaysia, The Sun reported that Japan’s Mitsubishi Power, part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group, is eyeing hydrogen power projects in Malaysia to support the country’s transition to green energy. Mitsubishi Power Asia-Pacific managing director and CEO Akihiro Ondo said Malaysia’s potential for energy transition lies in replacing older power stations with more efficient technologies, such as gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) systems. “To combine such renewable energy with a reliable baseload gas turbine combined cycle is important for energy security and sustainability in Malaysia. Therefore, we would like to be involved in this strategy for Malaysia by providing our technologies and solutions.” Ondo said their gas turbines and hydrogen production facilities can integrate with renewables to manage fluctuations in energy supply. “Malaysia has abundant resources for renewables, including hydropower in Sarawak, which can serve as a reliable baseload. We are in close communication with renewable energy providers and developers.” “We are willing to work with potential partners in Sarawak to produce hydrogen based on renewable resources, which can be utilized for power generation or exported to Japan,” he said.
