‘, ‘The world’s largest facility that produces enough hydrogen to charge 5,000 buses a day has been established in Incheon.’, ‘
‘, ‘
‘, ‘On the 8th, Incheon announced the completion of the world’s largest liquefied hydrogen production facility, called the “Liquefied Hydrogen Plant,” in Wonchang-dong, Seo-gu.’, ‘
‘, ‘
‘, ‘This plant, which broke ground in July 2021, has undergone 30 months of construction and commissioning.’, ‘
‘, ‘
‘, ‘The liquefied hydrogen produced at this plant is a cutting-edge technology applied in only nine countries worldwide, which involves cooling gaseous hydrogen to -253°C. By reducing the volume to 1/800 of gaseous hydrogen, the efficiency of transportation is increased by more than tenfold.’, ‘
‘, ‘
‘, ‘With a production capacity of 90 tons per day and 30,000 tons per year, this plant can charge around 5,000 hydrogen buses per day, providing a fast, economical, and stable supply of hydrogen to Incheon and nationwide.’, ‘
‘, ‘
‘, ‘Incheon plans to expand support and investment for attracting hydrogen anchor companies, fostering materials, components, and equipment manufacturing companies, and creating a hydrogen economy ecosystem following the completion of this plant.’, ‘
‘, ‘
‘, ‘Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok stated, “With the completion of the liquefied hydrogen plant, we have the world’s largest hydrogen production base,” and mentioned that they will strive to lead the global hydrogen industry, not just in South Korea.’
