Mitsubishi Power completes hydrogen fuel conversion at major Egyptian refinery

As the world edges ever closer to completing the transition of the energy sector away from fossil fuels, Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, has announced it has completed the hydrogen fuel conversion at a major Egyptian refinery. The MENA region has become a global leader in the renewable energy sector across the world, and Egypt is fostering cooperative projects that increase its standing in the renewable energy ambitions that are ever-present in the global community.

In recent years, the MENA region, or Middle East and North Africa, has become the unofficial home of the renewable energy sector. For far too long, the Middle East and North African nations have waited patiently for the world to realize the potential that it has stored away in the region.

In a development that accelerates the implementation of real projects that go beyond initial planning towards actual on-the-ground operations, Mitsubishi Power has announced that it has completed and handed over a major hydrogen fuel conversion project to the Alexandria National Refining and Petrochemicals Company.

The turnkey contract that was signed in 2022 allowed the company the rights to design, engineer, supply, and install solutions, equipment, and control systems to rehabilitate and upgrade a 100-ton-per-hour main boiler at the refinery in Egypt.
