韩国将建世界上最大液态氢工厂

据燃料与润滑油日报4月29日消息：韩国纺织和化学企业集团晓星集团宣布，将建造全球最大的液氢工厂，足以为10万辆汽车提供燃料。

晓星将与全球领先的工业气体供应商林德集团一起，向其合资企业投资3000亿韩元（2.453亿美元），打造一条涵盖液氢生产、运输和再充电等各个环节的价值链。

晓星和林德于4月28日在韩国首尔麻浦的晓星总部签署了谅解备忘录，晓星集团董事长赵贤珠和林德韩国董事长宋白石出席了该备忘录。

两家公司都将在韩国蔚山晓星化学龙渊厂址内投资建设一座占地约3万平方米的液氢工厂，该厂年生产能力为13000吨，明年第一季度破土动工，并于2022年完成液态氢工厂的建设。

新厂将利用林德的氢液化技术和系统来生产液氢，副产氢由晓星化学龙渊厂生产。氢液化技术在高压状态下液化氢气。林德拥有世界上最先进的液氢生产技术。

液态氢可用于无人机、船舶、叉车等多种移动领域，也可用于汽车等交通工具，对相关产业的发展具有重要意义。

South Korea’s Hyosung to build world’s largest liquid hydrogen plant

South Korean textile and chemical conglomerate Hyosung Group (KRX:004800) announced plants to build the world’s single largest liquid hydrogen manufacturing facility, enough to fuel 100,000 cars.

Together with the Linde Group, a leading global provider of industrial gases, Hyosung will invest KRW 300 billion (USD245.3 million) in their joint enterprise to create a value chain that covers everything from the setup to the operation of liquid hydrogen production, transport and recharging facilities.

Hyosung and Linde signed the MOU at the Hyosung headquarters in Mapo, Seoul, South Korea on the 28th of April, with Hyosung Group Chairman Cho Hyun-joo and Linde Korea Chairman Sung Baek-seok in attendance.

Both companies will invest in the construction of a liquid hydrogen plant on an area of about 30,000 square meters within the site of the Hyosung Chemical Yongyeon plant in Ulsan, South Korea. The annual production capacity is 13,000 tons of liquid hydrogen. The two companies will form a joint venture this year, break ground in the first quarter of next year and complete the construction of the liquid hydrogen plant in 2022.

The new plant will produce liquid hydrogen by applying Linde’s hydrogen liquefaction technology and system to byproduct hydrogen produced by the Hyosung Chemical Yongyeon Plant. Hydrogen liquefaction technology liquefies hydrogen in a high-pressure state of the gas. Linde has the world’s most advanced technology in liquid hydrogen production.

Liquid hydrogen is usable in diverse mobility segments such as drones, vessels and forklifts as well as vehicles, that it will likely contribute to the development of related industries.
