GS Engineering & Construction announced on the 21st that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the activation of distributed energy in Pohang City. The company plans to carry out a demonstration project for a power plant that produces electricity without carbon emissions by injecting clean ammonia as fuel, and to begin full-scale operation of commercial plants targeting companies within industrial complexes that need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The agreement was signed by Pohang City, GS Engineering & Construction, HD Hyundai Infracore, and AMOGY. Through this agreement, GS Engineering & Construction and Pohang City will establish a distributed energy specialized zone within the Yeongilman Industrial Complex in Pohang.
Previously, in January, GS Engineering & Construction signed a strategic technology agreement with HD Hyundai Infracore and AMOGY for the development of a "clean hydrogen compound (ammonia)-based hydrogen engine generator." AMOGY, a U.S. startup participating as a business partner, possesses world-class technology for extracting hydrogen from ammonia. HD Hyundai Infracore is a leading domestic company that manufactures engines that generate electricity using hydrogen as fuel.
GS Engineering & Construction, together with AMOGY and HD Hyundai Infracore, plans to install a power generation module the size of a 40-foot container at the Yeongilman Industrial Complex in Pohang and demonstrate actual power generation and electricity supply. AMOGY's technology injects ammonia into the device like a liquid fuel and converts it into hydrogen, and the converted hydrogen is then used by HD Hyundai Infracore's hydrogen engine to generate electricity. These two technologies will be combined into a single modular unit.
A GS Engineering & Construction official stated, "We expect that the zero-emission electricity produced by clean hydrogen compound (ammonia)-based hydrogen power generators will see strong demand for distributed carbon-free energy not only in this Pohang distributed energy specialized zone project, but also in data centers, large manufacturing plants, and zero-energy buildings in the future."
