SAMJIN E&I to provide engineering to Utility Global’s H2Gen project in Korea
In South Korea, Utility Global and SAMJIN E&I announced an engineering services agreement for Utility’s H2Gen project in Daejeon, South Korea. This follows the recently announced strategic collaboration agreement with SAMJIN and enables engineering work to progress the project from front-end loading (FEL-1) through FEL-3 to the final investment decision (FID). Through this effort, Utility is on track to deliver its first commercial-scale plant in the country, marking a major milestone and its first global expansion of a commercial low-carbon fuels project outside of the USA. It is also the first in a series of projects Utility is actively developing in Korea.
Daejeon is emerging as a key hydrogen hub and continues to invest significantly in its infrastructure and production to support sustainable energy and transport decarbonization. When operational, the H2Gen plant will produce 3.5 ton per day of fuel cell grade hydrogen that is targeted for a fleet of hydrogen-powered trams, as the first project of its kind in South Korea. Numerous other cities in the country have announced similar initiatives.
