LS ALSCO Selected as Hydrogen Fuel Cell Component Supplier by Bloom SK Fuel Cell..."Synergy in LS Eco-Friendly Business"

US Bloom Energy "Continuing Cooperation with Korean Suppliers"

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] BloomSK Fuels Cell, a joint venture between U.S. fuel cell manufacturer Bloom Energy and SK Ecoplant, announced on the 13th that it has selected LS ALSCO as a parts supplier.

LS ALSCO will supply a component called a canister, used in hydrogen fuel cell desulfurization devices, to BloomSK Fuels Cell. This marks the company’s recognition as the second supplier following Hanseon Engineering.

LS ALSCO’s canisters are scheduled to be supplied to BloomSK Fuels Cell’s factory in Gumi, Gyeongbuk. They will also be exported to Bloom Energy’s overseas factories and installed in hydrogen fuel cells worldwide. Through this parts supply contract, the LS Group is expected to not only establish a foundation for renewable energy business but also create synergy in building the domestic hydrogen energy ecosystem. The canister is an eco-friendly device that reduces sulfur oxide emissions generated during fuel combustion.

High-quality aluminum is LS ALSCO’s strength. The aluminum produced by LS ALSCO is lightweight and highly resistant to corrosion, making it easy to apply across various hydrogen industries. It has strong corrosion resistance, a property that prevents metal corrosion, and high strength. The company is recognized for its advanced aluminum new material development technology to the extent that it is the only domestic company to have been assigned a unique number by the Aluminum Association of the United States.

Earlier, in October last year, BloomSK Fuels Cell signed a business agreement with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, SK Ecoplant, and Bloom Energy to promote and foster the localization of fuel cell (SOFC) parts. The agreement was made to establish a cutting-edge solid oxide SOFC supply chain and hydrogen ecosystem in Korea. BloomSK Fuels Cell plans to accelerate the localization of fuel cell projects.

Randy Ahuja, President of BloomSK Fuels Cell, said, "Selecting LS ALSCO as the second supplier after Hanseon Engineering allows BloomSK Fuels Cell to contribute to the activation of Korea’s renewable energy business," adding, "We will continue to discover and nurture domestic partners to help Korean eco-friendly technology take a leap forward."
