Doosan Heavy is currently developing demonstration small- and medium-sized turbines that can run on 100% hydrogen, which it said could be used at both new and existing power plants. The two sides also agreed to "joint efforts to create a hydrogen ecosystem, helping small and medium-sized enterprises develop hydrogen turbine technologies and advance into domestic and overseas markets."
