[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Doosan Fuel Cell and KT signed a business agreement on the afternoon of the 14th at the Novotel Ambassador Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul, to expand the fuel cell business and develop an AI (artificial intelligence) unmanned driving platform. Fuel cells are high-efficiency power generation systems that produce electricity and heat through the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen.

Through this agreement, the two companies plan to jointly develop an "intelligent unmanned driving platform for fuel cells" by combining Doosan Fuel Cell's fuel cells with KT's AI technology and to automate the operation of fuel cells.

The intelligent unmanned driving platform is a solution that manages the overall fuel cell system, including real-time monitoring of fuel cell operating status, unmanned control for fire or intrusion, and power generation monitoring.

Additionally, Doosan Fuel Cell and KT plan to install fuel cells in KT-affiliated buildings with high energy consumption to reduce energy costs.

The two companies also plan to cooperate on the hydrogen pilot city project. In December last year, the government selected Ulsan Metropolitan City, Ansan City in Gyeonggi Province, and Jeonju and Wanju Cities in Jeonbuk Province as hydrogen pilot cities equipped with a hydrogen ecosystem and utilizing hydrogen as the main energy source.

Lee Seung-jun, Head of Sales at Doosan Fuel Cell, stated, "We expect customer satisfaction regarding power plant maintenance to increase with the development of the intelligent unmanned driving platform for fuel cells," adding, "Through strategic collaboration with KT, we will work together to expand the distribution of renewable energy, promote private fuel cell power generation projects, and revitalize the hydrogen economy."
