On the 4th, Hyosung Heavy Industries signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for a hydrogen engine generator demonstration project with INNIO Jenbacher, headquartered in Austria, at Hyosung's headquarters in Mapo, Seoul.

Through this MOA, Hyosung Heavy Industries and INNIO Jenbacher will collaborate to expand sales of hydrogen engine generators that can contribute to carbon neutrality. Hydrogen engine generators have the advantage of being able to use both hydrogen and natural gas as fuel, and allow flexible output adjustment and start-stop operations.

In the future, the hydrogen engine generators, which are being prepared for mass production by both companies and achieve 100% hydrogen combustion, are expected to complement the output variability of renewable energy by integrating with it and contribute to stabilizing the power grid. Additionally, Hyosung Heavy Industries is preparing to operate hydrogen engine generators using by-product hydrogen produced at Hyosung Chemical's Yongyeon plant.

Hyosung Group Vice Chairman Cho Hyun-sang attended the 2nd General Assembly of the 'H2 Business Summit' last June and stated, "Since 2000, Hyosung Group has been striving to expand the sustainable energy market base through CNG charging business, LNG, and hydrogen charging stations," and expressed the group's future vision by saying, "We will contribute to achieving a hydrogen-leading nation."
