MHI inaugurates operations at Nagasaki Carbon Neutral Park

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has launched operations at Nagasaki Carbon Neutral Park, a centre dedicated to the development of MHI Group’s energy decarbonisation technologies. Located in Nagasaki, the new base will be progressively expanded over the coming years.

Nagasaki Carbon Neutral Park will undertake development mainly of fuel production, combustion and CO2 capture technologies at existing research facilities at the Nagasaki District Research & Innovation Centre, which are currently dedicated to the production of hydrogen and biomass fuels, ammonia combustion and CO2 capture. Applying the thermal energy system design and manufacturing capabilities developed at Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery Works' Nagasaki and Koyagi plants, Nagasaki Carbon Neutral Park will accelerate R&D toward product commercialisation and business viability.

In the area of hydrogen production, development will focus on next-generation technologies such as advanced water electrolyzers that operate by solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC), and turquoise hydrogen produced by pyrolysis of methane into hydrogen and solid carbon. Key technologies developed at Nagasaki Carbon Neutral Park will subsequently undergo hydrogen production demonstration at Takasago Hydrogen Park (1) in Hyogo Prefecture, as well as a demonstration of power generation in combination with a hydrogen gas turbine.

In the area of biomass fuel production, the development will target commercialisation of synthetic fuel production facilities, including sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) produced by biomass gasification integrated Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (2). In the area of ammonia combustion, testing will be performed using an actual size burner of a large-scale combustion test furnace located within the Nagasaki district, with plans calling for co-firing with at least 50% ammonia demonstration testing at a power plant in FY2024 or soon thereafter.
