• Establish a local supply systems to adapt to the stringent environmental regulations and promoting use of natural gas.
• Move aimed at meeting China’s rising demand for distributed power generation and boosting competitiveness in small-capacity gas turbines.

On March 28, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) signed a Technology License Agreement (TLA) under which it will license production technology for its H-25 Series gas turbines to CSIC Longjiang GH Gas Turbine Co., Ltd. (GHGT), a Chinese company headquartered in Harbin that undertakes development, engineering and manufacturing of gas turbines.

Today the Chinese market is implementing increasingly stringent environmental regulations and promoting use of natural gas. In response, the country’s industrial parks are shifting away from their existing coal-fired boilers to gas turbine cogeneration systems, a trend driving increased demand for small-capacity gas turbines like MHPS’ H-25 Series. The newly concluded TLA is targeted at enhancing the company’s competitive position by establishing a nimble local supply system, as a way of expanding MHPS’ share in the Chinese market.

The H-25 Series are heavy-duty gas turbines with a proven record of outstanding reliability and ease of maintenance after many hours of operation. Since their launch in 1987, more than 180 units have been adopted worldwide. In recent years, its demand has been increased, especially for cogeneration systems in industrial parks.
