Siemens Energy and KOGAS sign MoU to collaborate on green hydrogen projects
Under the agreement,
the two companies will collaborate closely across all areas of hydrogen business
to pursue the production of green hydrogen and its use in power generation.
This includes a demonstration project for large-scale domestic green hydrogen
production and supply; hydrogen turbine power generation; joint research for
overseas green hydrogen production and transport strategies; and technological
development to secure competitiveness in the hydrogen business.
Through the close
collaboration and co-innovation, Siemens Energy and KOGAS share a joint commitment
to empower South Korea’s renewable energy advancement by expanding their green
hydrogen generation capacity.
Mr. HeeBong Chae says,
“By embarking on a global partnership with a world leader in the hydrogen technology,
we are committed to accelerating overseas production and transport of green
hydrogen. In addition to contributing to the nation’s carbon neutrality drive,
we ultimately look to emerge as the nation’s leading hydrogen company.”
