Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co. (Hyundai E&C) has commenced construction on South Korea\u2019s first hydrogen production plant using water electrolysis, marking a significant step in the country\u2019s clean energy initiatives. Located within Buan County, North Jeolla Province, the facility is expected to be completed by the end of 2024 and begin operations in May 2025. With a production capacity of at least 1 ton of hydrogen per day, the plant will utilize 2.5 megawatts of electricity for electrolysis. Hydrogen production-related products typically require KGS certification<\/strong><\/a> to be approved for import and sale in Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project, part of a state-backed hydrogen production initiative, aims to supply hydrogen to local research facilities and charging stations. Hyundai E&C, in collaboration with the North Jeolla and Buan governments, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP), Jeonbuk Techno Park, and Techross Water & Energy Inc., has been developing the project since 2022. The plant will use polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) technology to produce 99.999% pure hydrogen, ensuring safety and operational efficiency. Hyundai E&C is also involved in hydrogen projects in Boryeong and Jeju Island, reinforcing its commitment to advancing Korea\u2019s hydrogen economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
