Doosan Fuel Cell Participates in 'Future Food Energy Convergence Center' Development Project

Hadong-gun, Gyeongnam, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, Daewoo E&C, and Gyeongnam QSF Sign MOU

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] Doosan Fuel Cell is participating in a project aimed at improving residential conditions such as revitalizing the local economy of Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, fostering new growth industries, and leading carbon neutrality.

On the 21st, Doosan Fuel Cell announced that it will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding the 'Future Food Energy Convergence Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power Generation Project' with Hadong-gun, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, Gyeongnam QSF, and Daewoo E&C.

The 'Future Food Energy Convergence Center' is an energy self-sufficient business model that combines the ultra-low temperature rapid freezing food business with the hydrogen fuel cell power generation business. The cryogenic energy at minus 162 degrees Celsius generated during the liquefied natural gas (LNG) vaporization process is supplied to the rapid freezing room to promote the rapid freezing food business, and the natural gas (NG) converted into gas is used as an energy source for hydrogen fuel cell power generation. The electricity produced by the hydrogen fuel cell is sold to the power exchange, and the hot water is used not only for food drying, smart farms, and heat supply within the complex but also for cold air drying through absorption chillers.

According to this agreement, Doosan Fuel Cell will supply about 20 MW (440 kW × 45 units) of hydrogen fuel cell main equipment and will be responsible for long-term maintenance service agreements (LTSA) and technical support.

A Doosan Fuel Cell official said, "The Future Food Energy Convergence Center is Doosan Fuel Cell's new business model combining future food business, eco-friendly renewable energy business, and heat energy supply business," adding, "We will continue to expand our business areas through the development of new convergence-type business models and also make continuous efforts to diversify our clients, such as recent domestic data center supply contracts."
