· INNIO backed power plant to use hydrogen byproduct produced onsite at co-located chemical plant
· Pilot project expected to serve as a pivotal example of decarbonizing heavy industry in Asia Pacific (APAC)
· Power plant project marks the first time that a 100% hydrogen-fueled power plant is to be built in APAC
ULSAN, South Korea, Nov 19 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — INNIO today announced that Hyosung Heavy Industries (Hyosung) has selected INNIO Jenbacher ‘Ready for Hydrogen’ engine technology for the first pilot power plant project in APAC that will be fueled by 100% hydrogen. The pilot hydrogen power plant will be built at the Hyosung Chemical Yongyeon Plant in Ulsan, South Korea, setting a benchmark by becoming the first 100% hydrogen power plant to be operated in the region. It will run on hydrogen produced as a byproduct at the chemical plant that is normally sold off to an industrial gas company. The project is expected to achieve commercial operation in 3Q 2022 and complete the demonstration by end of 2022.
