Japan continues to make efforts to develop ammonia-compatible gas turbine technology for power generation, with an emphasis on greener fuel sources. Collaborative engineering projects seek to enable efficient combustion of ammonia, hence promoting decarbonization and the transition to sustainable energy systems in the power industry. For example, in January 2024, GE Vernova's gas power business and IHI Corporation (IHI) signed an agreement for building a gas turbine combustor as a viable fuel option for generating power.

Moreover, Japan is expanding natural gas-fired power production through high-efficiency combined cycle facilities that incorporate cutting-edge technologies to provide greener energy alternatives. These projects demonstrate a commitment to updating energy infrastructure and achieving decarbonization targets through new gas turbine applications in power production. For instance, in July 2023, Mitsubishi Power signed a contract by Chiba-Sodegaura Power Co., Ltd for the construction of three gas turbines in Sodegaura City, Chiba Prefecture. Furthermore, the Japan gas turbine market is advancing due to a focus on efficiency and lower emissions. Additionally, there is rising demand for high-efficiency turbines in the power generation, transportation, and industrial sectors, creating considerable potential for market participants. For example, leading manufacturers, such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, are creating high-performance aero-derivative turbines that provide improved fuel economy and reduce carbon emissions. These turbines are increasingly being used in power plants and industrial activities throughout Japan, aligning with the government's aim of transitioning to a low-carbon economy. The need is also supported by energy companies such as JERA, which use modern turbines in their projects to fulfill increased electricity demand while adhering to environmental rules and sustainability requirements.
