| SEOUL--South
Korea's biggest steelmaker POSCO Co. (KSE:005490) said it expects to earn
400 billion won (US$436 million) annually from the sale of fuel cells beginning
in 2012.
POSCO will spend 225 billion won
to build a fuel cell plant with an electrical capacity of 100 megawatts
in Pohang, a port city 374 kilometres southeast of Seoul, by 2010, the
company said.
In February, POSCO signed a deal
to introduce fuel cell manufacturing technologies in a business partnership
with U.S. FuelCell Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:FCEL), which commercialized fuel
cell production for the first time, in a bid to find new growth engines.
Earlier in the day, POSCO broke ground
for the fuel cell plant in Pohang. |
