POSCO ENERGY is operating an off-gas combined cycle power plant in Gwangyang and Pohang.
Off-gas combined cycle power plant produces electricity by using the off-gas generated from the iron manufacture process in a steel mill as fuel.
The Gwangyang Plant, the nation’s first of its kind to be built, was completed in December 2010.
Its total installed capacity reaches 284MW. Off-gas combined cycle power plant in Gwangyang where they produce electricity by
using the off-gas as fuel is an eco-friendly power plant that has the replacement
effect for the import of crude oil amounting to 57 billion won annually and 180,000 ton of greenhouse gas reduction effect.

The Pohang Plant, the world’s first to produce electricity using the fuel combining BFG(BlastFurnace Gas)
and FOG(FINEX Off-Gas), is equipped with facilities with total installed capacity of 290MW.
FOG generated from the FINEX plant is high in generating efficiency as its standard heat is higher than BFG.
In addition, off-gas combined cycle power plant in Pohang introduced a nitrogen oxide reduction device and minimized pollutants by
establishing the internal management standard (30 ppm) that is more tightened than the legal management standard (50 ppm)
and is now taking the lead in improving the atmospheric environment.
