Doosan Enerbility is working with South Korean and overseas research institutes to promote the introduction of an ammonia co-fired power plant in Vietnam.
Combustion of ammonia with existing fuel for power generation has the effect of reducing greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining the amount of power generation.
Doosan Enerbility announced today that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Institute of Energy (IE, ) and the Korea Electronics Technology Research Institute (KETI) in Hanoi, Vietnam for cooperation in Vietnam's clean energy industry.
The agreement ceremony, which was promoted by the Korea-Vietnam Joint Industry Committee, was attended by officials from each company, including Doosan Enerbility Power Service BG Head Park Hong-Wook, IE President Tran Ky Phuc, and KETI Vice President Lee Gyu-Bok.
With this agreement, the three companies plan to form a consultative body to secure business opportunities and research, such as introducing ammonia mixture combustion technology to thermal power plants in Vietnam and modernizing power plants.
To this end, IE will conduct a feasibility study for the application of ammonia mixed combustion, KETI will promote power plant modernization, and Doosan Enerbility will cooperate with the development of ammonia mixed combustion power generation technology.
Meanwhile, on December 5, the governments of Korea and Vietnam signed a memorandum of understanding on comprehensive cooperation in the electric power industry, which includes the demonstration of offshore wind power and ammonia co-firing.
