Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--As it seeks to become carbon neutral by 2050, South Korea has become a world leader in the construction of fuel cell power plants.
What is touted as the world's largest fuel cell power plant project is expected to begin construction in Songsan-ri, Yanggam-myeon, Hwaseong-si.
Korea Western Power has signed a business agreement with Hwaseong City and Samchully to promote the Hwaseong Yanggam Fuel Cell Power Generation Project.
