[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seoyoon] Doosan Enerbility is collaborating with domestic and international research institutions to introduce ammonia co-firing power plants in Vietnam. Mixing ammonia with conventional power generation fuels reduces greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining power output.

On the 23rd, Doosan Enerbility announced that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in Hanoi, Vietnam, with the Vietnam Energy Institute under the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam and the Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI) under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy of Korea to cooperate in the clean energy industry sector in Vietnam.

The signing ceremony, promoted under the Korea-Vietnam Industrial Joint Committee, was attended by Park Hongwook, Head of Doosan Enerbility Power Service BG, Tran Kiphuc, Director of the Vietnam Energy Institute, Lee Gyubok, Deputy Director of KETI, and other officials from each organization.

Through this agreement, the three parties plan to establish a consultative body for securing business opportunities and conducting research on 'introducing ammonia co-firing technology' and 'power plant modernization' at thermal power plants in Vietnam. To this end, ▲ the Vietnam Energy Institute will conduct feasibility studies on ammonia co-firing application ▲ KETI will promote power plant modernization ▲ Doosan Enerbility will collaborate on developing ammonia co-firing power generation technology.

Park Hongwook, BG Head, said, "Doosan Enerbility has contributed to the development of Vietnam's machinery industry and job creation by successfully supplying equipment to numerous Vietnamese power plants through Doosan Vina, a large-scale production plant established in 2009. We will do our best to help Vietnam's clean energy transition through eco-friendly technologies based on this agreement."

Earlier, on the 5th, the governments of Korea and Vietnam signed a comprehensive cooperation MOU on the power industry, including offshore wind power and ammonia co-firing demonstration projects.
