  • The newly developed technology is capable of capturing over 90% of the carbon dioxide emissions generated during the hydrogen extraction process from natural gas.
  • The successful pilot operation at Maritime Industry Cluster Harbor in Yeosu Gwangyang Port demonstrated the potential for hydrogen fuel cell power plants to be eco-friendly and contribute to carbon neutrality.
  • The project involved different companies specializing in redesigning fuel cells, membrane capture technology, and installation, showcasing a multi-faceted approach to sustainable energy solutions.
Doosan Fuel Cell, in partnership with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) and other collaborators, has achieved a major breakthrough in the field of hydrogen technology by developing South Korea's first hydrogen fuel cell carbon capture technology. The 'Fuel Cell Carbon Capture Technology Demonstration Event' held in Gwangyang, South Jeolla Province marked a significant milestone in the quest for eco-friendly power solutions. Led by KHNP, the project commenced in September 2023, with Doosan Fuel Cell, Airrane, and KECC playing vital roles in the development and implementation of the carbon capture technology. The successful demonstration in December showcased the technology's capability to capture more than 90% of carbon dioxide emissions, emphasizing its potential to reduce environmental impacts. With the completion of the pilot operation in January, the project highlighted the tangible benefits of integrating carbon capture technology into hydrogen fuel cell power plants. The positive outlook from Doosan Fuel Cell officials underscores the importance of such advancements in realizing carbon neutrality and promoting sustainable energy practices. This collaborative effort not only signifies a leap forward in technological innovation but also sets a promising precedent for future developments in the hydrogen market, positioning hydrogen fuel cells as key players in the transition towards a greener and more sustainable energy landscape.
