Jacobs selected for green hydrogen feasibility study in South Korea.
Jacobs ( NYSE:) has been awarded a contract by South Korean offshore wind farm project developer, Elenergy, to complete the feasibility study for a new green hydrogen production and import facility in South Korea.
The facility will provide locally produced and imported green hydrogen for South Korea and help advance the country’s plans to transition to a clean energy economy, where hydrogen will account for 33% of energy consumption and 23.8% of power generation by 2050.
The facility will be powered by 100% renewable wind energy sourced from the 1.5GW Chujin Offshore Wind Farm which Elenergy is also currently developing.
