LG Chem signed a MOU for clean hydrogen production and utilization based on ammonia with Namhae Chemicals, Doosan Enerbility, and Samsung C&T.
Four South Korean companies — LG Chem Ltd., Samsung C&T Corp., Namhae Chemical Corp. and Doosan Enerbility Co. signed a memorandum of understanding to promote cooperation in the production and usage of ammonia-based clean hydrogen.
Under terms of the MOU, LG Chem plans to introduce clean hydrogen at its Yeosu plant in South Jeolla Province and use it as a fuel for its naphtha cracking center (NCC) that cracks naphtha at high temperatures and produces basic fractions such as ethylene.
When combusted, clean hydrogen generates no carbon dioxide. Accordingly, if it is used as a petrochemical fuel, it can greatly reduce carbon emissions compared to existing methods.
