據燃料與潤滑油日報4月29日消息：韓國紡織和化學企業集團曉星集團宣布，將建造全球最大的液氫工廠，足以為10萬輛汽車提供燃料。

曉星將與全球領先的工業氣體供應商林德集團一起，向其合資企業投資3000億韓元（2.453億美元），打造一條涵蓋液氫生產、運輸和再充電等各個環節的價值鏈。

曉星和林德于4月28日在韓國首爾麻浦的曉星總部簽署了諒解備忘錄，曉星集團董事長趙賢珠和林德韓國董事長宋白石出席了該備忘錄。

兩家公司都將在韓國蔚山曉星化學龍淵廠址內投資建設一座占地約3萬平方米的液氫工廠，該廠年生產能力為13000噸，明年第一季度破土動工，并于2022年完成液態氫工廠的建設。

新廠將利用林德的氫液化技術和系統來生產液氫，副產氫由曉星化學龍淵廠生產。氫液化技術在高壓狀態下液化氫氣。林德擁有世界上最先進的液氫生產技術。

液態氫可用于無人機、船舶、叉車等多種移動領域，也可用于汽車等交通工具，對相關產業的發展具有重要意義。

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.
