Hyosung selects INNIO’s technology for hydrogen-fuelled project in APAC

The pilot hydrogen power plant will be built at the Hyosung Chemical Yongyeon Plant in Ulsan, South Korea, setting a benchmark by becoming one of the first 100% hydrogen power plants 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 3Q2022 and complete the demonstration by the end of 2022.

As a shaper of a low-carbon economy, INNIO is preparing for a secure, affordable and climate-neutral energy future for everyone. The pilot power plant using INNIO Jenbacher technology will be the second power plant in the 1 MW range that can be fuelled with 100% hydrogen. INNIO has been a hydrogen pioneer for more than 20 years, when the first Jenbacher 150 kW pilot engine ran on 100% hydrogen at a demonstration plant in northern Germany. Two decades later, in 2020, after a number of additional demonstration projects, INNIO and HanseWerk Natur demonstrated one of the world’s first hydrogen engines using variable hydrogen and natural gas mixtures up to 100% hydrogen on an INNIO Jenbacher engine. This collaboration with Hyosung now marks a further milestone for INNIO to help drive the energy transition.
