It will use Mitsubishi Power\u2019s M701JAC gas turbine, the world\u2019s most efficient large-frame gas turbine, achieving over 64% combined-cycle efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project supports Singapore\u2019s decarbonisation and net-zero by 2050 goals, providing cleaner and more resilient power while meeting rising electricity demand. It builds on PacificLight Power\u2019s existing generation assets and reflects a long-standing collaboration between Mitsubishi Power and Jurong Engineering in delivering advanced power infrastructure in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/power.mhi.com\/regions\/apac\/news\/gro251023.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/power.mhi.com\/regions\/apac\/news\/gro251023.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\">Forgotten Asian automaker hits 500 kW hydrogen \u2014 Toyota and Yamaha stunned by the leap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>23 November 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engine &amp; Turbocharger Limited (MHIET) has achieved a major breakthrough in hydrogen combustion technology by demonstrating stable operation of a 500 kW, six-cylinder engine running on 100% hydrogen. The demonstration, conducted at MHIET\u2019s Sagamihara plant, marks one of the highest-output hydrogen combustion systems achieved to date and surpasses comparable efforts by companies such as Toyota and Yamaha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commercial-style generator system delivered up to 435 kW at 1,500 rpm, proving hydrogen can provide reliable, high-power performance beyond laboratory conditions. This achievement addresses a long-standing limitation of hydrogen combustion engines, which have traditionally struggled to reach high output levels with stable operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MHIET\u2019s success strengthens Mitsubishi\u2019s commitment to hydrogen as a pathway to decarbonisation, with potential applications not only in mobility but also in industrial facilities, factories, and ports. The company is targeting commercialisation as early as 2026, positioning hydrogen combustion as a viable, high-performance, low-carbon alternative aligned with global climate goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-ecoticias-com wp-block-embed-ecoticias-com\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"FkQtQiAJAo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoticias.com\/en\/forgotten-asian-automaker-hits-hydrogen\/23736\/\">Forgotten Asian automaker hits 500 kW hydrogen \u2014 Toyota and Yamaha stunned by the leap<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Forgotten Asian automaker hits 500 kW hydrogen \u2014 Toyota and Yamaha stunned by the leap&#8221; &#8212; ECOticias.com\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoticias.com\/en\/forgotten-asian-automaker-hits-hydrogen\/23736\/embed\/#?secret=JttcATWvpp#?secret=FkQtQiAJAo\" data-secret=\"FkQtQiAJAo\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\">South Korea\u2019s hydrogen capital eyeing B.C. partnerships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3 November 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ulsan, South Korea\u2019s leading \u201chydrogen city,\u201d is seeking partnerships with British Columbia companies to develop hydrogen technologies and import Canadian hydrogen and ammonia, aiming to become the world\u2019s top hydrogen hub by 2030.
