Mapna’s Hydrogen Gas Turbine to Make Debut

Mapna, the engineering and energy giant, has manufactured hydrogen-fuelled gas turbines that consume less gas to generate electricity and instead of hazardous emissions discharge water, the managing director said.
CEO Abbas Aliabadi told reporters Thursday the MGT-75 turbine will be unveiled soon and considerably boost production from existing infrastructure without the need for new and costly power plants.
"MGT-75 is an industrial accomplishment and one of the best-in-class turbines in the world. The new generation MGT-70 turbines allow expansion of power production without spending massive amounts on new units," Aliabadi said.
Adding hydrogen to natural gas is a major step toward decarbonize energy production as its combustion process emits less greenhouse gases including CO2. It also produces more energy.
The fourth upgrade to the MGT-70 turbine has improved efficiency by 24% to 60% over the previous design.
