Houston: Utility Global, Inc., a leading innovator in clean hydrogen technology, has announced a new partnership with Hanwha Corporation’s E&C Division to conduct a Pre-FEED (preliminary front-end engineering and design) study. The focus of the study is to evaluate the deployment of Utility’s H2Gen® system at wastewater treatment plants in South Korea, using biogas as a feedstock, reports EIN Presswire.
As part of the collaboration, the two companies will examine the technical and economic feasibility of building hydrogen production facilities that convert biogas from wastewater treatment plants into clean hydrogen. The hydrogen produced would support South Korea’s growing hydrogen-powered mobility sector and other clean energy initiatives.
Parker Meeks, CEO of Utility Global, said the agreement marks a major step in expanding the company’s reach. “We’re excited to partner with Hanwha on this initiative. It reflects our commitment to supporting the global transition to affordable and sustainable hydrogen production,” Meeks said. “South Korea has a mature hydrogen mobility market and offers significant growth potential.”
Utility’s Chief Commercial Officer, Dr. Vladimir Novak, emphasized the importance of the partnership for international growth. “This is a key milestone in bringing our H2Gen system to commercial scale,” he said. “It opens the door to one of the world’s most advanced hydrogen mobility markets and aligns with our strategy to scale across the U.S., Asia, and Europe.”
The Pre-FEED study will deliver essential data for future project development, including system design, process configuration, capital cost estimates, timelines, and financial assessments. This will help Hanwha make informed decisions about integrating Utility’s technology into future hydrogen infrastructure projects.
Joon Myoung Lee, Head of Hanwha E&C’s Infrastructure Business Unit, said the collaboration supports the country’s energy goals. “Producing hydrogen from biogas is an efficient, eco-friendly solution that aligns well with our national energy strategy,” he said. “We expect this partnership with Utility to enhance our role as a developer of green infrastructure.”
The initiative reflects growing global momentum around biogas-based hydrogen production as countries look for sustainable energy alternatives.
