Korea and the United States are world leaders in fuel cell energy use, a trend highlighted by today’s announcement.
Samsung C&T Corp., based in Seoul, and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) have partnered with Connecticut’s Doosan Fuel Cell (Doosan) to develop a massive clean energy project that can power as many as 71,500 Korean homes.
Doosan will manufacture and ship 70 fuel cells that will produce 30.8MW of clean energy and heat, Samsung will serve as the engineering, procurement and construction contractor, and KHNP will provide the power to a new residential complex in Busan. (KHNP, Korea’s largest utility, and Busan, Korea’s second largest city, will share ownership of the fuel cells.)
“The ‘Busan Green Energy Project’ illustrates how companies can collaborate to create and implement a plan that minimises harmful greenhouse gas emissions and moderates everyday energy costs,” says Doosan President and CEO Jeff Chung. “We’ve developed the largest urban fuel cell site in Korea and the largest PAFC (phosphoric acid fuel cell) generation project in the world, reinforcing the fact that fuel cells are the premier clean energy alternative in large cities.”
