PosMAC, an anti-corrosive steel, is extensively used for buildings' inner and outer walls, outdoor units of air conditioners, automotive components and many other applications, according to POSCO

The amount is enough to build a solar power generation system in an area the size of 12,000 soccer stadiums.

Kim Sang-gyun, marketing head for steel products at POSCO, said the MOU can help POSCO secure a leading position in the solar power generation industry.
