H-100 Gas Turbine Successfully Completes Low NOx Testing, Confirms Industry-Leading Performance

TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI)(TOKYO:7011), Mitsubishi Hitachi
Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor
Corporation (MCO) have successfully completed testing of MHPS’s 2-shaft
120MW H-100 Gas Turbine. The H-100 utilizes the latest combustor
technology and is the industry leader in terms of low NOx (single digit
ppm) for full-load operations. With this, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
Group is able to provide innovative solutions for thermal power plants
as well as mechanical drive LNG (liquefied natural gas) applications,
utilizing high-efficiency compressors manufactured by MCO.

Following successful completion of testing, MHI President & CEO Shunichi
Miyanaga commented, “We are confident this can be a game-changer for the
LNG industry, as well as thermal power plants, in terms of lower
production costs. We can now deliver increased productivity, reduced
complexity and lower lifecycle costs, while significantly reducing plant
emissions.”

The H-100 Gas Turbine offers high-efficiency, heavy-duty,
high-reliability, and low-maintenance. Benefits of the two-shaft gas
turbines for LNG mechanical drive application include reduced footprint,
broad variable-speed operation, shortened start-up time and space
savings.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group will further integrate and expand the
diverse product and technology lineup of its energy and oil & gas
business to meet market needs.
