Acwa Power Partner’s S/Korea’s Posco to Develop Green Hydrogen
Riyadh-based utility developer Acwa Power has joined forces with the holding company of South Korea, Posco Holdings, to develop green hydrogen. The entities will also develop green hydrogen derivatives, such as green ammonia, to decarbonise Posco’s power generation and steel manufacturing processes.
The agreement also aims to serve other South Korean clients of Posco. The global hydrogen industry is expected to be worth $183 billion by 2023, up from $129bn in 2017, according to Fitch Solutions. French investment bank, Natixis, estimates that investment in hydrogen will exceed $300bn by 2030.
Green hydrogen and ammonia produced through new greenfield investments will also support Posco’s target of producing 500,000 tonnes of hydrogen by 2030, Acwa Power and Posco said in a joint statement.
