Pohang-si's Ammonia Power Collaboration for Clean Energy Innovation
Key Ideas
- Amogy, GS E&C, HD Hyundai Infracore, and Pohang-si collaborate on a 1 MW ammonia-powered distributed power generation system for clean energy advancement.
- The project aims to scale up to 40 MW by 2028-2029, combining Amogy's ammonia cracking technology with HDI's hydrogen engine.
- Pohang-si supports the initiative to establish a distributed energy specialty complex, aligning with South Korea's clean energy policies.
- The partnership signifies a significant step in advancing ammonia as a carbon-free fuel and showcases the real-world viability of ammonia-to-power technology.
Amogy, in collaboration with GS Engineering & Construction (GS E&C), HD Hyundai Infracore (HDI), and Pohang-si in South Korea, is set to deploy a 1-megawatt (MW) pilot power generation system by 2026, with plans to scale up to 40 MW for commercial operations by 2028-2029. This initiative marks a significant milestone in promoting ammonia as a carbon-free fuel and positioning Pohang-si as a regional hub for clean energy innovation. The project integrates Amogy's ammonia cracking technology with HDI's hydrogen engine, supported by GS E&C's expertise in infrastructure. The collaboration aims to deliver reliable, carbon-free electricity to the grid and support the development of a distributed energy specialty complex in Pohang-si. The partnership aligns with South Korea's clean energy policies and signifies a step towards advancing sustainable power solutions. This pilot project not only showcases the real-world viability of ammonia-to-power technology but also contributes to the broader adoption of clean energy in the stationary power sector.
