TOKYO, September 30, 2025-(JCN Newswire )- Mitsubishi Power, a power services brand name of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.(MHI), has actually gotten an order to provide a 100-megawatt( MW)class gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power plant. The order for Jiangsu Lihuai Steel Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jiangsu Shagang Group Co., Ltd., a significant Chinese steelmaker group in China, was put through Mitsubishi Power’s regional subsidiary. The freshly established M100S little- to medium-sized gas turbine fired by blast heating system gas (BFG) will be used as a core element of its plant.

Reacting to growing need from China’s steel market for energy effectiveness and decarbonization, the M100S design has actually been established by integrating MHI’s advanced massive gas turbine innovations to be used in steel plants’ spin-off gas-fired power plants. It can function as a replacement for the standard small-sized BTG (boiler, turbine, generator) power plants commonly utilized in the Chinese steel market. This is the very first order for this brand-new design. Structure on this success, Mitsubishi Power intends to be at the leading edge of satisfying the need for changing out-of-date small BTG power plants in the market.

The M100S gas turbine was established by integrating innovation for BFG-fired massive turbines, where Mitsubishi Power has substantial functional experience, with innovation for modern natural gas-fired JAC gas turbines, which boast high efficiency and dependability. The M100S power plant has an output of 100 MW in a combined cycle setting and is both smaller sized and more effective than traditional designs. In addition to BFG, the gas turbine can be co-fired with different gases produced as spin-offs from steel plant devices such as coke ovens and converters.

It likewise permits versatile operation according to changes in gas volume and reacts rapidly to load variations in the steel plant. BFG-fired gas turbines, by effectively making use of spin-off gas from steel plants, lower ecological effects, enable compliance with air policies, and contribute considerably to the effective usage of energy.

Jiangsu Lihuai Steel prepares to start operation of the GTCC power plant at its steel plant in Huai’an City, Jiangsu Province, in 2027. The order from Jiangsu Lihuai Steel was positioned with Mitsubishi Power Gas Turbine Engineering Technology (Nanjing) Co., Ltd., a Mitsubishi Power subsidiary based in Nanjing. The M100S gas turbine and associated devices will be produced and provided by Mitsubishi Power’s Takasago Machinery Works (Takasago, Hyogo Prefecture), with other devices acquired in your area in China, consisting of from Dongfang Turbine Co., Ltd., a group business of Dongfang Electric Corporation, a certified producer for Mitsubishi Power. Spin-off gas from blast heating systems, coke ovens, and converters will be utilized as fuel. Mitsubishi Power will dispatch technical consultants to the website for setup and commissioning.

In China’s steel market, in line with the pattern towards energy preservation and decarbonization, need is growing for the replacement of existing BTG power plants, which have actually restricted power generation capability and low effectiveness, with high-efficiency devices. The primary systems steelmakers are wanting to change are designs with an output of around 100 MW. Already, power generation in this power variety has actually been restricted to BTG power plants, so an exceptionally a great deal of such power plants are presently in operation in China. The intro of the M100S design, which is more effective than standard small-sized BTG systems, is a groundbreaking effort in this market, as it efficiently makes use of blast heater gas in the steel market.

Jiangsu Lihuai Steel’s moms and dad business, Jiangsu Shagang Group, based in Jiangsu Province in eastern China, is among the world’s leading steel producers. Jiangsu Shagang Group has actually currently embraced 5 gas turbines produced by Mitsubishi Power, and the high fulfillment with our provided devices is among the factors for the order of the M100S gas turbine.

Blast heating system gas has a lower calorific worth than gas and other fuels, and advanced innovation is needed for the steady combustion of gas turbines utilizing BFG. Mitsubishi Power’s worldwide market share for BFG-fired gas turbines surpasses 60%. The addition of the brand-new M100S design, to the current lineup will even more improve its position as a leader in this field.

Mitsubishi Power will continue to play a pioneering function in this field by proactively establishing options such as BFG-fired GTCC power plants that add to the effective usage of energy and lower ecological effects.
