Hydrogen fuel cell power plant, South Korea
Name of the Project
Hydrogen fuel cell power plant.
Location
The project is located on a 20 000 m2 site at the Daesan Industrial Complex, in Seosan, South Korea.
Client
Hanwha Energy.
Project Description
The project entails the construction of a 50 MW hydrogen fuel cell power plant.
It is the largest power plant of its kind and the first in the world to be powered solely by hydrogen that is extracted as a by-product from petrochemicals production.
The plant will be able to produce 400 000 MWh/y of electricity, enough to power 170 000 homes.
Hanwha Total Petrochemical will supply the power plant with about 3.4 t/h of hydrogen from its refinery at the Daesan Industrial Complex.
The power plant’s fuel cells are expected to produce about 40 000 t/y of water as a by-product, which will then be sent back to be used by Hanwha Total Petrochemical’s refinery.
