Korea Western, Tallgrass, PSM to work on utility scale decarbonisation
SUMMARY
The companies will work on converting natural gas-fired power generation to clean hydrogen fuel use in the US.
By Shardul SharmaKorea Western Power Company (KOWEPO), Tallgrass, and Power Systems (PSM) will work on converting natural gas-fired power generation to clean hydrogen fuel use in the US, the companies said on August 18.
KOWEPO will provide its expertise in power generation and asset management, Tallgrass will offer its experience throughout the US in traditional and decarbonised energy infrastructure, supply and logistics, and PSM will offer its gas turbine combustion system retrofit solution.
KOWEPO is developing a hydrogen co-firing project in The Netherlands and a green ammonia production project in UAE. “By partnering with Tallgrass and PSM, we have a new opportunity to enter the US power industry and will help expand the foundation to meet future decarbonized energy needs in the US,” Se-moon Lee, head of new overseas business department from KOWEPO, said.
“This initiative, coupled with our investments in the Escalante H2 project in New Mexico and the Trailblazer CO2 conversion project, reflects our expanding commitment to decarbonisation broadly across the energy industry,” said Blake Hotzel, Tallgrass’ vice president of business development.
Jeff Benoit, PSM’s vice president for clean energy solutions said the company’s FlameSheet combustor retrofit, first installed in OEM gas turbines in 2015, will enable operational flexibility with 0-100% clean hydrogen and single digit NOx emissions.
