“Our area of involvement is the development of hydrogen gas turbines,” he said. Satoshi Tanimura’s focus is on thermal power generation that does not emit CO 2. And we must develop technology to cope with the conflicting issues of strong demands for energy and for CO 2 reduction.” A clear roadmap to the achievement of a hydrogen society As an engineer, I’m particularly sensitive to global issues and expectations toward resolving them. But it doesn’t change the fact that CO 2 is still emitted in the generation of gas-fired thermal power we cannot close our eyes to this fact. “CO 2 emissions per unit with gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) plants, which combine gas and steam turbines, are less than half those generated by coal-fired thermal power. “With regard to thermal power using fossil fuels, efforts have continuously been made toward reducing emissions by enhancing efficiency through technological innovation,” said Tanimura. Thermal power accounts for 85% of the electricity supply volume with the fuel type break-down being as follows: LNG at 44% oil and petroleum at 9% and coal at 32% (as of 2015).Īs energy choices steadily increase, thermal power still remains a key energy source. In Japan, the country’s primary energy is mainly converted into electricity, accounting for 43% of all energy. It’s the mission of engineers to pursue thermal power generation that emits zero CO 2.” They want electricity, but they don’t want the attendant CO 2 emission. At the same time, there is increasing public scrutiny toward power-generation that produces CO 2 emissions. “If demand exists, supply will be provided by electric power companies, and power-generating facilities are necessary to provide this supply. “Energy is the cornerstone of industry,” said Satoshi Tanimura-Chief Engineer and Senior Manager of Mitsubishi Power’ Gas Turbine Technology Administrative Division-a leader in the development of hydrogen-fueled gas turbines that feature CO 2-free combustion technology.
