Hydrogen Power Plant Planned in World Cup Park
The Seoul city government will start constructing a hydrogen-fired power plant in World Cup Park in Seoul next May.
The 2.4 mega watt facility will generate electricity with hydrogen extracted from oil and gas. Such a method is considered environmentally friendly for emitting no sulfur oxide and other harmful chemicals.
A “Zero-Energy House,” where solar power and other environmentally friendly energies are used, as well as other power generation facilities using solar power and other “green energy” will be set up in the park. The city plans to promote the area as a landmark for next generation renewable energy.
The city plans to replace 10 percent of its energy consumption with renewable energy by 2020, of which 30 percent will be from hydrogen.
