Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group to Deliver around
Two Dozen Liquid-Based Hydrogen Stations in South Korea
Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group, part of Nikkiso
Co. Ltd.’s Industrial division, announced that after its most
recent award by SK Plug Hyverse, the Group has contracts to build
and maintain approximately two dozen liquid-based hydrogen (LH2)
fueling stations in South Korea.
As more buses and heavy-duty trucks look to lower carbon
emissions while keeping long-distance driving capabilities, many
fleet operators, transit authorities, and agencies are looking to
liquid hydrogen as a solution for quick-fills and long-distance
routes. Nikkiso’s experience developing and manufacturing cryogenic
pumps for more than 70 years and alternative fuels fueling stations
for 26 years is attracting companies like SK Plug Hyverse that want
capable partners to help grow South Korea’s hydrogen infrastructure
and economy.
“SK Plug Hyverse is a tremendous partner for Nikkiso in South
Korea because together we bring exceptional capabilities and people
to support South Korea’s progressive approach to establishing a
competitive hydrogen economy,” said Peter Wagner, CEO,
Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases. “Nikkiso
admires South Korea’s productive and pragmatic approach to scaling
up the hydrogen economy, and we look forward to further
opportunities supporting its efforts.”
“There aren’t many companies that have Nikkiso’s vertically
integrated fueling station with in-house liquification systems and
trailer loading systems, cryogenic pumps, vacuum insulated pipe,
vacuum insulated vessels, cryogenic vaporizer, industrial controls,
permitting, installation, and maintenance services,” said
Mike Mackey, President, Fueling & Solutions, Nikkiso
Clean Energy & Industrial Gases. “We’ve been building
alternative fueling stations since 1998 and are proud that the work
we do supports a cleaner, healthier world.”
Several liquid hydrogen stations in South Korea have already
been commissioned, successfully fueling buses back-to-back, and
ramping up to capacity. The remaining stations in South Korea will
be brought online over the next 12 months.
