South Korea has announced an ambitious plan to build the world's largest hydrogen carrier by 2027, in collaboration with a joint public-private promotion team. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy revealed that they will allocate $40.5 million this year for the development of a hydrogen demonstration vessel. The project's primary goal is to advance key technologies for the transportation of liquefied hydrogen via ships, as the liquefaction process reduces hydrogen's volume significantly, enabling the movement of larger quantities. This initiative involves experts from the shipbuilding industry, universities, and research institutes in South Korea. The project will focus on testing and demonstrating crucial technologies such as valves, pumps, and tanks required for the successful commercialization of hydrogen carriers. The government's investment aims to propel South Korea's position in hydrogen transportation and contribute to the global shift towards sustainable energy solutions.
