Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group, a part of Nikkiso Co Ltd's Industrial division, has secured contracts to build and manage around 24 liquid-based hydrogen (LH2) fuelling stations in South Korea. This development follows a recent award by SK Plug Hyverse, marking a significant step towards establishing a competitive hydrogen economy in the country. The CEO of Nikkiso expressed admiration for South Korea's progressive approach to scaling up the hydrogen economy, highlighting the partnership's potential in supporting such efforts. With the increasing need for lower carbon emissions in the transportation sector, liquid hydrogen is seen as a viable solution for buses and heavy-duty trucks. Nikkiso's extensive experience in cryogenic pumps and alternative fuel fuelling stations has positioned it as an attractive partner for companies like SK Plug Hyverse looking to contribute to South Korea's hydrogen infrastructure growth. Several liquid hydrogen stations in the country have already been put into operation, serving buses efficiently and are expected to be fully operational in the coming year. Nikkiso CE&IG Group, operating globally with over 1,600 employees, is at the forefront of providing cryogenic solutions for clean energy and industrial gas markets, with its headquarters in Southern California, United States.
