Collaboration with KOHYGEN will help
decarbonize transportation industry while expanding global hydrogen
refueling infrastructure
Korea Hydrogen Green Energy Network (KOHYGEN) has chosen global
technology company Emerson’s (NYSE: EMR) advanced automation
solutions to help ensure the safety and reliability of its
pioneering hydrogen infrastructure initiative, which recently
marked the completion of the world’s largest hydrogen refueling
station for commercial vehicles. The project is an important step
toward the two organizations’ goals of reducing emissions, driving
investment in hydrogen and accelerating the transition to a
net-zero global economy.
“We’re committed to building smart, safe hydrogen refueling
infrastructure by leveraging IT-based integrated operations, using
large capacity, high-efficiency charging systems and, most
importantly, strengthening design safety standards,” said KyungSil
Lee, KOHYGEN’s chief executive officer. “Emerson is helping us
secure abundant clean energy for Korea and the world.”
The JeonjuPyeonghwa Hydrogen Refueling Station is the first of
35 high-capacity gas and liquid hydrogen refueling stations KOHYGEN
plans to construct across Korea by 2025. The first station has a
charging capacity of 300 kilograms per hour, which can fuel up to
15 buses and trucks per hour, or over 100 per day – 12 times more
than an average capacity hydrogen station.
To further lay the foundation for a stable hydrogen supply
chain, Emerson and KOHYGEN are collaborating on technical standards
for future high-capacity commercial refueling stations and similar
projects. KOHYGEN plans to expand its hydrogen supply platform to
service hydrogen-powered aircraft, ships and other diverse forms of
transportation.
“In line with Emerson’s ‘Greening By’ sustainability strategy,
we’ve worked on a range of hydrogen projects globally, applying our
expertise and innovative technologies to scale hydrogen consumption
and make renewable energy a reality,” said Mike Train, Emerson’s
chief sustainability officer. “Partnering with KOHYGEN is another
critical step forward in diversifying our global energy mix.”
In addition to deep domain experience across the hydrogen value
chain, Emerson is providing core technologies, including
temperature transmitters, flowmeters, pressure transmitters,
programmable logic controllers (PLC) and valves, to deliver the
high level of performance necessary for developing a commercially
viable hydrogen charging model that can expand Korea’s domestic
hydrogen market and serve as a template in other countries.
KOHYGEN is a special purpose company held jointly by nine energy
industry leaders: Korea District Heating Corporation, Hyundai
Motors, GS Caltex, S-Oil, Hyundai Oilbank, SK Energy, SK Gas, E1
and Air Liquide Korea.
