Doosan Enerbility has signed a memorandum of understanding with Korea South-East Power Co. (KOEN) on promoting the growth of next-generation, eco-friendly 100% hydrogen-fueled turbines.
,The signing ceremony held at Doosan Enerbility’s Changwon headquarters was attended both parties, including Kiyoon Kang, President of KOEN, and Yeonin Jung, Vice Chairman and COO of Doosan Enerbility.
The MOU, which was devised to support the South Korean government’s policy of achieving carbon neutrality and promoting a hydrogen economy, aims at creating an ecosystem for clean hydrogen to expand carbon-free energy sources.
Upon signing the MOU, KOEN agreed to cooperate on the pursuit and operation of 100% hydrogen-fueled clean energy projects. Doosan Enerbility’s role will be to develop competitive 100% hydrogen-fueled turbines, using the latest technology, and supply the required equipment.
“The 100% hydrogen-fueled turbine sector is gaining momentum in Korea owing to the growing practical demand being shown by the local power companies,” said Doosan Enerbility’s COO Yeonin Jung.
Doosan Enerbility has plans to complete development of 100% hydrogen-fueled turbines of 90MW and 400MW capacity by 2028.
Further news from the company: Doosan Enerbility has successively won the supplier contracts for the main parts of two gas-fired combined cycle power plant projects in Saudi Arabia. This is a joint venture EPC contract to supply a steam turbine and generator package for the Ghazlan 2 Expansion project, followed by another supplier agreement to deliver the same package for the Hajar Power Plant Expansion project.
The joint venture has been formed by Tecnicas Reunidas and Orascom, each the largest general contractor in Spain and Egypt respectively. Both the Ghazlan 2 and Hajar Power Plants have a planned capacity of 2,900MW. They are scheduled to be built in phases by 2028 at a location that is 400km to the northeast of Saudi Arabia’s capital city Riyadh.
Finally, the company has secured a contract to build a combined cycle power plant in Vietnam by 2028. The 1,155-MW power plant for PetroVietnam (PVN) will be in Can Tho, 180 kilometers southwest of Ho Chi Minh City.
