Doosan Enerbility is advancing its efforts to supply carbon-neutral power generation technologies, including Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) and ammonia co-firing, renewables, and hydrogen to Thailand. On Jan. 29, the company announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for joint research and cooperation in CCUS and carbon-neutral power generation technologies with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT). The signing ceremony, held in Thailand, was attended by Jung Hwan-jin, director of the Green Industry Overseas Expansion Support Team from the Ministry of Environment of South Korea; Thidade Eiamsai, deputy governor of EGAT; and Kim Jeong-kwan, head of marketing at Doosan Enerbility, along with other officials.
Through this agreement, both companies have decided to establish a comprehensive cooperative relationship for the adoption of carbon-neutral power generation technologies, including the application of CCUS technology in Thailand’s operational power plants, and exploring the use of ammonia co-firing, renewables, and hydrogen.
Kim Jeong-kwan stated, “The carbon-neutral power generation technologies like CCUS and ammonia co-firing held by Doosan Enerbility are compatible alternatives for EGAT’s CCUS road map. We anticipate active collaboration in various eco-friendly power projects being pursued in Thailand.”
Meanwhile, Doosan Enerbility is also accelerating the commercialization of its CCUS technology in South Korea. In 2021, the company transferred “Wet Carbon Capture Technology” from KEPCO Research Institute and is currently evaluating its application in a hydrogen liquefaction plant in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, which is nearing commercialization.
