Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
REQUEST A MEETINGAs the world navigates increasing complexity and volatility, the energy decisions made in the next few years will shape the next several decades. Businesses, governments, and industries must balance market demands, supply chain constraints, and the urgent need for climate action to accelerate the path to net zero by 2040.
With a longstanding commitment to innovation and sustainability, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Power continue to lead in hydrogen advancements, power plant retrofits, and holistic energy solutions.
At CERAWeek 2025, we are eager to share our insights and collaborate on strategies that drive meaningful progress in the global energy transition.

Explore insights and perspectives from experts on key topics that will be covered during CERAWeek.
Over the last 12 months, we’ve witnessed unprecedented changes, driven by rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and the surging electricity demand from hyperscalers like Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Amazon. These shifts bring both challenges and opportunities, and we’re at the forefront of navigating them.
Read more...Long viewed as a vital path towards net zero emissions, CO₂ Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) has yet to fully come into its own, despite growing momentum. This new white paper from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries argues that setting CCUS on a continued growth path will not only require favorable technology, policy and investment momentum but also an uncompromising focus on building out the value chain.
Read more...The IEA’s Global Hydrogen Review 2024, released in October, offers a road map and a reality check. It confirms what we’ve seen thus far: the energy transition is underway, but progress is too slow to meet net-zero by 2050, which the Paris Agreement outlined as necessary to limit the rise in global temperatures at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
Read more...MHI has been working on decarbonization for decades and we have a range of relevant technologies and deeply experienced staff spread all around our group. What we did not have until this April is a single point of contact for customers. The new GX Solutions bundles our expertise across CO₂ capture, hydrogen and ammonia – and their developing value chains – and enables potential customers to obtain research, advice and, potentially, pricing on a decarbonization solution tailored to their specific needs.
Read more...While the energy transition involves many complexities, decarbonization remains a central long-term commitment. Achieving net zero emissions within the next 25 years means acting now. This mindset is characterized by three key transitions: moving from risk-avoidant to risk-fluent, territorial to collaborative, and theoretical to operational.
Read more...MHI is back in growth mode. This is the message from the FY2024-2026 Medium-Term Business Plan (MTBP) we released at the end of May and which builds on the record FY2023 financial results published earlier that month. Our return on equity will continue to improve, reaching a minimum of 12%. After recovering from several tough years at the start of this decade and strengthening MHI’s financial and operational foundations, we are set to deliver a growth ‘boost’ to stakeholders.
Read more...CERAWeek is one of the most influential gatherings in the energy sector, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to shape the future of global energy. As the industry navigates a rapidly evolving landscape, our presence at CERAWeek underscores our commitment to sustainable, reliable, and innovative energy solutions.
Read more...Decarbonization is the keystone of the entire energy ecosystem. While the industry is not looking to reinvent the wheel, the global energy sector nevertheless faces the monumental task of transforming some of the fundamental pillars upon which it has relied for decades.Prevailing industry narratives suggest that the decarbonization process is progressing smoothly, and the optimists among us would argue we are on course for many of the key decarbonization targets ahead. But complacency is a killer in the face of a century-old problem that we must solve in a generation.
