Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) announced the establishment of a new branch office of its Australian subsidiary, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Australia, Pty. Ltd, in Perth, Western Australia. This strategic move underscores MHI’s commitment to accelerating its decarbonization business in the Australian market, with a particular focus on hydrogen, ammonia, and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies.

The newly established Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Australia Perth Office will serve as a crucial hub for MHI’s decarbonization initiatives in the region. Complementing MHI-AUS’s existing head office in Sydney, the Perth branch will enable the company to provide more agile and responsive support to customers in Western Australia. This region is experiencing significant economic growth driven by its robust mining and natural resources sectors, and Perth stands as the central economic hub of the state.

Western Australia is rapidly emerging as a key player in the global energy transition, fueled by supportive government policies and substantial infrastructure development in the areas of hydrogen, ammonia, and CCUS. Recognizing this potential, MHI’s new Perth office will allow the company to closely engage with local stakeholders, understand their specific needs, and proactively pursue emerging business opportunities within the decarbonization landscape.

A key focus of the Perth branch will be fostering strong collaborative relationships with local partner companies. By working closely with regional expertise, MHI aims to accelerate the development of comprehensive value chain operations across the hydrogen, ammonia, and CCUS sectors in Western Australia. This collaborative approach will be instrumental in delivering tailored and effective decarbonization solutions to meet the unique challenges and opportunities of the Australian market.

MHI Group has strategically positioned itself at the forefront of the global Energy Transition, with a clear objective of achieving carbon neutrality by 2040. A core element of this strategy involves strengthening its presence on the energy supply side through investments and business development in next-generation energy technologies. The establishment of the Perth office is a significant step in realizing this vision within the Australian context.

Through its new Perth base, MHI aims to actively contribute to the formulation of effective energy policies in Australia and to champion initiatives that will pave the way for a sustainable, carbon-neutral society. The company’s expertise and comprehensive technology portfolio in areas like hydrogen production, transportation, and utilization, as well as advanced CCUS solutions, will be invaluable in supporting Australia’s decarbonization ambitions.
