Doosan Enerbility to Promote Supply of Carbon-Free Power Generation Technology in Thailand

Doosan Enerbility is promoting the supply of carbon-free power generation technology to Thailand.

Doosan Enerbility announced on the 29th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for joint research cooperation on Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) and carbon-free power generation technology with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT).

At the signing ceremony held in Thailand, environmental ministry officials including Jeong Hwan-jin, head of the Green Industry Overseas Expansion Support Group, attended, along with Thidadee Aiamsai, Deputy Governor of EGAT, and Kim Jeong-gwan, head of Doosan Enerbility’s Marketing Division.

Through this agreement, the two companies will establish a comprehensive cooperative relationship to apply CCUS technology to power plants operating in Thailand, as well as to introduce carbon-free power generation technologies such as ammonia co-firing, renewables, and hydrogen.

Doosan Enerbility is accelerating the commercialization of domestic CCUS technology. In 2021, it internalized the technology by signing a technology transfer contract for 'wet carbon capture technology' with the Korea Electric Power Corporation’s Power Research Institute, and is reviewing the application of this technology to the Changwon hydrogen liquefaction plant, which is nearing commercialization.

Kim Jeong-gwan, head of the division, said, "Carbon-free power generation technologies such as CCUS and ammonia co-firing will be alternatives that align with EGAT’s CCUS roadmap," adding, "We look forward to active cooperation in various eco-friendly power generation projects being promoted in Thailand."
