A joint venture between Air Liquide Korea and global chemical company Lotte Chemical will see the two partners scaling up South Korea’s hydrogen economy through investment into large scale hydrogen filling centres in the cities of Daesan and Ulsan.
Strategically placed to fulfil demand in several densely populated regions of the country, the sites will host both the conditioning hubs and refuelling stations with Air Liquide harnessing its expertise across the hydrogen supply and use chain.
