Hanwha Power signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the 20th (local time) with Pembina Pipeline (Pembina), a Canadian energy infrastructure company, to pursue a green power generation project.
This collaboration is part of an Industrial Technology Cooperation (ITB) strategy linked to Pembina's ongoing projects, including the operation of pipeline booster stations and the development of a waste heat recovery power generation project based on ultra-supercritical carbon dioxide, as well as Hanwha Ocean's participation in submarine projects in Canada.
The MOU is significant as a strategic partnership that connects Hanwha Group's energy technology capabilities with Canada's local industrial ecosystem.
In particular, waste heat recovery power generation is regarded as a promising green solution in the North American oil and gas market, where water usage is restricted and demands for carbon emission reduction are high. By recycling waste heat generated from industrial facilities such as gas turbines, it can produce electricity without additional fuel consumption, simultaneously achieving improved energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions.
Waste heat recovery generation (WHR, Waste Heat Recovery Generation) is a technology that recovers high-temperature thermal energy (waste heat) that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere after industrial processes, power plants, or incineration facilities, and converts it into electricity.
In particular, it is a representative green power generation method that maximizes energy efficiency and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by recycling waste heat without burning additional fuel. Its operating principle is similar to that of a conventional thermal power plant, but the difference lies in whether "fuel is burned directly" or "waste heat is utilized."
In the heat recovery stage, hot waste gas and wastewater from incinerators or heating furnaces are passed through a waste heat boiler (WHRU) or heat exchanger to absorb heat. The absorbed heat boils the working fluid (water or organic matter) inside, generating high-pressure steam (steam) to drive a turbine.
Pembina is a major North American energy company headquartered in Alberta, Canada, operating extensive pipeline and gas infrastructure assets.
A Hanwha Power official, who spoke to this newspaper by phone, stated, "This can be seen as securing a foothold for expanding green energy solution businesses in the Canadian market."
