  • The agreement covers projects to produce hydrogen for heavy-duty vehicles, buses, and passenger vehicles, with GH EnA leading the project development and Utility providing H2Gen reactors and support.
  • H2Gen reactors offer benefits such as direct biogas conversion to hydrogen, lower CAPEX, small footprint, negative carbon intensity, and operational simplicity, catering to various industries' decarbonization needs.
Utility, a company specializing in off-gas-to-value solutions, has partnered with GH EnA in South Korea to implement projects producing clean, carbon-negative hydrogen from biogas using Utility's H2Gen reactor technology. The agreement aligns with South Korea's Hydrogen Economy Roadmap, emphasizing biogas and hydrogen as key energy sources to achieve carbon neutrality and reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels. GH EnA, known for its expertise in energy transition, will focus on deploying H2Gen hydrogen plants in several Korean cities like Chuncheon and Sokcho to power different types of vehicles. GH EnA's President, Park Ji Hong, highlighted the company's commitment to decarbonization and innovation in developing negative carbon intensity hydrogen projects in Korea. The H2Gen reactors, based on Utility's eXERO gas production technology, enable the conversion of off-gases like biogas into hydrogen without needing external electricity. This process revolutionizes clean hydrogen production, offering a cost-effective and space-efficient alternative to traditional methods. The collaboration aims to provide clean hydrogen for various industries beyond mobility, including steel and petrochemical sectors, enabling companies to meet sustainability goals efficiently. The H2Gen reactors offer advantages like direct biogas conversion, lower capital expenses, small footprint, and operational simplicity. By leveraging modular and scalable plants, these technologies can operate on different biogas sources while ensuring a negative carbon intensity. The partnership between Utility and GH EnA signifies a step towards reducing emissions and enhancing energy independence in South Korea. With a focus on industrial decarbonization and green energy solutions, the collaboration seeks to drive innovation and sustainability in the country's energy sector.
