據氣體世界網2022年5月3 日報道，法國液化空氣集團旗下韓國公司日前與韓國樂天化學公司英國有限公司成立一家合資企業，雙方將通過投資大山和蔚山的大型氫氣加注中心，推進和擴大韓國的氫氣經濟。

選擇這兩個具有戰略位置的地點是為了滿足韓國幾個人口稠密地區對氫氣的需求，這些地點將成為空調中心和燃料加注站的所在地，法國液化空氣集團將利用其在氫氣供應和使用鏈上的專業知識來幫助韓國推進氫氣經濟。

氫氣將由樂天化學公司從其位于韓國主要工業盆地大山和蔚山的非天然氣來源供應。

法國液化空氣集團亞太執行委員會成員Abrial日前在評論這項協議時重申了該公司在氫氣方面的立場。他說：“法國液化空氣集團致力于在從生產到儲存的整個氫氣鏈上作出積極貢獻和投資，以及最終用途的分發和應用開發。”

“根據其可持續發展目標，包括到2050年前達到碳中和，法國液化空氣集團的雄心是積極為未來低碳社會作出貢獻。”

這個項目是韓國“氫氣經濟路線圖”的一部分，這份氫氣經濟路線圖支持韓國對氫氣流動性日益增長的需求——到2025年前，韓國每天能夠生產100噸氫氣。

Air Liquide, Lotte Chemical to advance hydrogen economy in Korea

A joint venture between Air Liquide and UK-based 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. 

Hydrogen will be supplied by Lotte from its own off-gas sources in South Korea’s main industrial basins of Daesan and Ulsan. 

Commenting on the agreement, Fran?ois Abrial, Member of the Air Liquide Groups’ Executive Committee supervising Asia Pacific (APAC), reiterated the company’s stance on hydrogen, saying, “Air Liquide is committed to actively contribute and invest across the entire hydrogen chain, from production to storage, as well as distribution and application developments for end usages.” 

“In line with its sustainability objectives, which include reaching carbon neutrality by 2050, Air Liquide’s ambition is to contribute actively to the emergence of a low-carbon society.” 

The project is part of the country’s ‘Hydrogen Economy Roadmap’, which supports South Korea’s growing demand for hydrogen mobility – a sector that could see the country produce 100 tonnes of hydrogen per day by 2025.
