The move is set to increase efficiency and lower CO? emissions.
Chang Chun Petrochemical is upgrading its cogeneration facility by replacing the existing heavy oil and coal-fired boilers with a natural gas-fired system. The transition is designed to improve energy efficiency and support cleaner industrial operations. The H-25 gas turbine, with an output of approximately 30MW, will serve as the core component of the new cogeneration facility, providing both electricity and steam to power the factory’s manufacturing processes.
Under the contract, Mitsubishi Power will supply the main gas turbine and auxiliary equipment, and will dispatch engineers to assist with installation and commissioning. The new system is expected to enhance operational efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide (CO?) emissions, aligning with Taiwan’s goals of promoting energy transformation and environmental sustainability.
Chang Chun Petrochemical is a key company within the Chang Chun Group, a major petrochemical conglomerate with operations in Taiwan and across international markets. Mitsubishi Power has maintained a long-term partnership with Chang Chun Group since 1984, having supplied nine steam turbines and five boilers for its various facilities. The company continues to provide after-sales services and technical support to ensure reliable operation of the equipment.
Globally, Mitsubishi Power has delivered and operated over 200 H-25 gas turbine units since 1987. The H-25 model is known for its high efficiency and lower CO? emissions when compared with traditional boiler systems, making it a preferred choice for cogeneration facilities that aim to reduce environmental impact while maintaining stable energy supply.
Mitsubishi Power stated that it will continue expanding its role in the distributed power generation market, including industrial private power generation and cogeneration systems worldwide. The company emphasized its commitment to supporting industrial infrastructure growth and advancing low-carbon solutions across different regions.
In addition to the Miaoli Factory project, Mitsubishi Power recently secured a contract for a gas turbine combined cycle power plant at the Tung Hsiao Power Plant, operated by Taiwan Power Company. The company’s growing portfolio of projects across Taiwan demonstrates its active contribution to improving energy efficiency and supporting sustainable industrial development in the region.
Through its partnership with Chang Chun Petrochemical and other industry players, Mitsubishi Power continues to provide advanced, reliable technologies that contribute to cleaner energy production and long-term environmental objectives.
