Posco collaborates with Doosan to develop ammonia-extracted hydrogen gas turbines

Posco and Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction will jointly develop ammonia hydrogen extraction technology and the gas turbines that use the hydrogen as fuel.

Under the memorandum of understanding signed online by the two companies and the Research Institute of Industrial Science & Technology (RIST), Posco will produce and supply ammonia while developing the cracker to dismantle ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen to be used for gas turbines.

Doosan will develop and produce the gas combustion burner for the cracking process and the hydrogen-powered gas turbine.

RIST is working on expanding large-capacity ammonia hydrogen extraction to a commercial-grade process.

The development of ammonia-derived fuel is part of the companies’ efforts to utilize eco-friendly energy sources, as ammonia use does not emit any carbon dioxide.
