South East Korea to develop 320MW green hydrogen powered by 1GW solar
In South Korea, in partnership with the Saemangeum Development Agency, South East Korea will work with the Saemangeum Development Agency to create the first clean hydrogen complex in Korea that verifies the entire cycle from production to utilization by integrating solar power generation, hydroelectric green hydrogen production, and hydrogen electroplating power generation into a single site. All three fields are expected to be the first and largest demonstration in Korea, and will set the standard for a carbon-free power supply model in the future.
This project is a large project to build a land-based photovoltaic (1,000MW), a hydroelectric green hydrogen production facility (320MW), and a hydrogen power generation (100MW) in one site in the three areas of Saemangeum business area in Buan, Jeollabuk-do.
The core of the business is the carbon-free energy circulation structure that leads to ‘electricity→hydrogen→electricity (P2G2P). The power produced by solar is converted into green hydrogen through the facility and stored, and the stored hydrogen is converted back to power through the hydrogen turbine. The power produced in this way will be promoted with the goal of signing a long-term contract with the purchaser through the bid market for clean hydrogen power generation and stably supplying the power system.
