On September 7, the South Korean province of Jeonbuk launched a major demonstration project aimed at producing hydrogen from ammonia, part of a broader effort to build the technological foundation for a clean hydrogen supply and transition the local industry toward carbon neutrality. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed by Jeonbuk Province, the city of Gunsan, the Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO), Hyundai Motor, Hyundai Rotem, and the Korea Testing Laboratory (KTL) to develop and operate an ammonia-based hydrogen production system. Scheduled to run from 2025 to 2027 at KRISO\u2019s testing site in Gunsan, the initiative represents Korea\u2019s first large-scale deployment of ammonia cracking technology for mobility-grade hydrogen production. Hydrogen-based systems and components usually require KGS factory approval<\/strong><\/a> in order to be approved for import and sale in Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each partner plays a distinct role in the project: Jeonbuk and Gunsan will handle permitting and administrative support; KRISO will provide the test site and manage ammonia storage and supply infrastructure; Hyundai Motor is tasked with designing and operating the ammonia cracker; Hyundai Rotem will oversee manufacturing, installation, and commissioning of the equipment; and KTL will develop safety guidelines. Ammonia is considered a promising hydrogen carrier due to its higher storage density and ease of liquefaction compared to hydrogen. The project is expected to accelerate the commercialization of ammonia cracking technology and support the development of an integrated clean hydrogen industry in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
