Doosan Enerbility and KOWEPO Collaborate on 100% Hydrogen Turbine Development
Key Ideas
- Doosan Enerbility and KOWEPO have signed an MOU to develop Korean-standard mid-sized 100% hydrogen-fueled turbines at Doosan Enerbility's headquarters in Changwon, South Korea.
- Doosan Enerbility will be responsible for technology development, while KOWEPO will handle the application and demonstration of the turbines at a new power plant, aligning with South Korea's clean hydrogen energy goals.
- The collaboration aims to increase the share of clean hydrogen in the energy mix, with plans to expand to the global market and complete development of both 90 MW and 400 MW hydrogen-fueled turbines by 2028.
- Jungbok Lee of KOWEPO and Yeonin Jung of Doosan Enerbility are key figures involved in the signing ceremony, emphasizing the commitment to advancing hydrogen power domestically and internationally.
Doosan Enerbility and Korea Western Power (KOWEPO) have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the development and demonstration of Korean-standard mid-sized (90 MW) 100% hydrogen-fueled turbines. The signing ceremony took place at Doosan Enerbility's headquarters in Changwon, South Korea, with the presence of important figures from both companies, including Jungbok Lee and Yeonin Jung. Doosan Enerbility will focus on the technological advancement of the mid-sized hydrogen turbines, while KOWEPO will work on applying and demonstrating them at a newly constructed power plant. This initiative aligns with the South Korean government's strategy to promote clean hydrogen adoption and build a strong foundation for hydrogen technology. The agreement also highlights Doosan Enerbility's intention to collaborate with small and medium-sized enterprises to expand the reach of Korean-standard hydrogen turbines in the global market. The development timeline includes completing the 90 MW and 400 MW hydrogen-fueled turbines by 2028. The collaboration between Doosan Enerbility and KOWEPO signifies a positive step towards advancing hydrogen power both locally and internationally, aiming to contribute to a cleaner energy future.
