- Hyundai Motor Group indicators a multilateral MoU with Pyeongtaek Metropolis and key stakeholders to develop carbon-neutral hydrogen port initiatives
- Kia and Hyundai Glovis to put in hydrogen gasoline cell-based energy turbines at Pyeongtaek Port
- The initiative will set up large-scale hydrogen infrastructure to decarbonize port
- Hydrogen functions to broaden throughout port logistics, power techniques and clear transport options
Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) in the present day introduced a multilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Pyeongtaek Metropolis and key companions to develop carbon-neutral hydrogen port initiatives. The partnership goals to determine Korean mannequin for port decarbonization and contribute to nationwide carbon neutrality objectives.
Beneath the settlement, Hyundai Motor Firm will oversee hydrogen-related enterprise technique, whereas Kia Company and Hyundai Glovis Co. will introduce and function hydrogen gasoline cell energy turbines at their services in Pyeongtaek Port. The initiative goals to put the inspiration for large-scale hydrogen use throughout port operations.
The plan contains leveraging the hydrogen manufacturing advanced close to Pyeongtaek Port to determine a secure hydrogen-based energy provide system with a 15-km pipeline. The Group and companions will complement these efforts with joint know-how growth and demonstration tasks for gasoline cell turbines at Kia and Hyundai Glovis services.
The Group and Pyeongtaek Metropolis will flip these plans right into a complete power framework for port operations. This framework will guarantee reliability by gasoline cell energy technology and an built-in hydrogen provide system. In parallel, they are going to broaden hydrogen-powered transport autos and port tools and set up hydrogen refueling stations.
Ken Ramirez, Head of World Power & Hydrogen Enterprise Division at Hyundai Motor Group mentioned: “Hyundai is honored to collectively drive this necessary collaboration as a public-private partnership aimed toward delivering real-world hydrogen functions to attain the objectives of each, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries’ ‘Hydrogen Port’ coverage and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s ‘Hydrogen Metropolis’ coverage. It represents the primary home initiative to determine a broad hydrogen ecosystem for port decarbonization, leveraging Pyeongtaek Port’s superior infrastructure.”
Lengthy-term plans for the challenge embody creating hydrogen and ammonia bunkering services to help future zero-emission vessels and exploring the adoption of Different Maritime Energy (AMP) techniques to scale back emissions from berthed ships.
The Group and Pyeongtaek Metropolis goal to broaden the inexperienced hydrogen provide chain by ammonia imports and broaden hydrogen-based operations to boost stability and effectivity. Collaboration with Gyeonggi Pyeongtaek Port Company (GPPC) and the Pyeongtaek Regional Workplace of Oceans and Fisheries will give attention to enterprise growth methods and regulatory enhancements.
Beginning in November 2024, Hyundai Motor has piloted Korea’s first hydrogen-powered auto transport truck between its Asan plant and Pyeongtaek Port, underscoring the Group’s dedication to decarbonizing port logistics and constructing a complete hydrogen mobility ecosystem.
Hyundai Motor Group goals to contribute to the event of Pyeongtaek’s hydrogen ecosystem by leveraging its group-wide hydrogen enterprise capabilities by HTWO, the Group’s devoted hydrogen model and enterprise platform. The Group continues to advance scalable hydrogen options throughout the excellent worth chain whereas fostering collaboration, innovation, and funding with exterior companions to speed up the transition to a sustainable hydrogen economic system.
