Developing 'Oxy-Fuel Combustion Technology' with the United States

FEP Convergence Research Group Pure Oxygen Combustion Power Generation Demonstration Plant

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Junho] The Korea Institute of Energy Technology announced on the 26th that it will develop 'Oxy-fuel Combustion Power Generation Technology' through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) signed last month with the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) under the U.S. Department of Energy. CRADA is an agreement necessary for collaborative research and development with U.S. national laboratories.

The two institutions will jointly establish a fund to conduct a two-year research project worth 300 million KRW on 'Oxy-fuel Combustion Power Generation Technology.' Oxy-fuel combustion power generation is an ultra-clean, high-efficiency future energy technology that uses pure oxygen as fuel to increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in exhaust gases for easy capture and reduces emitted exhaust gases by about 80%.

Researcher Lee Hyojin from the Energy Research FEP Convergence Research Group at the Korea Institute of Energy Technology will participate in this technology development, conducting studies related to modeling of oxy-fuel combustion power plants and process optimization. NETL will collaborate on model validation work based on oxy-fuel combustion power generation experimental data.
