Utility Global, a leading clean hydrogen producer based in the United States, has announced a partnership with Hanwha Corporation to conduct a Pre-FEED study for implementing its H2Gen system at wastewater treatment plants in South Korea. The collaboration aims to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of constructing a hydrogen production plant using biogas generated from South Korean wastewater facilities as a feedstock for the H2Gen system. The produced hydrogen will be utilized in South Korea's hydrogen-powered mobility sector and other clean energy applications.
Parker Meeks, the CEO of Utility, expressed satisfaction with the partnership, highlighting its significance in expanding the global presence of the H2Gen system and supporting the environmentally friendly production of clean hydrogen. Dr. Vladimir Novak, Chief Commercial Officer of Utility, emphasized the commercial importance of the agreement, noting the entry into South Korea's substantial hydrogen mobility market and plans for further expansion across different regions.
The Pre-FEED study is expected to provide essential data for a basic design package, offering insights into design parameters, process configuration, capital needs, project duration, and economic analysis. This information will assist Hanwha in making well-informed decisions regarding the adoption of the H2Gen system for hydrogen production using biogas.
Hanwha Corporation's Head of Infrastructure Business Unit, Joon Myoung Lee, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that hydrogen production from biogas aligns well with South Korea's eco-friendly energy policies and efficient resource utilization goals. The collaboration is seen as a positive step towards supporting a green infrastructure development approach.
Utility Global, recently recognized in TIME's 'World's Top Greentech Companies of 2025', focuses on pioneering hydrogen solutions for various industries, including steel, mobility, and oil & gas. Their H2Gen technology utilizes low-value industrial off-gases and biogases to produce high-purity hydrogen with low carbon intensity, contributing to practical decarbonization. The partnership with Hanwha is poised to drive Utility's global expansion and enable the conversion of low-value inputs into valuable clean energy resources.
