commitment
facilities. The
country plans to invest more than $1 B to establish five H2
clusters within its borders. These hubs include the following:
* Green H2
* Blue H2
* H2 storage and transportation cluster
in Gangwon province
* H2 mobility cluster in Ulsan
* H2 fuel cell cluster in North Gyeongsang province.
The South Korean government has also announced more
than $42 B in investments to build a wind farm complex off
the southwest coast of the country. This capital-intensive
project-part of South Korea's Green Deal-targets more than
8 GW of wind-generated power to help the country reach
carbon-neutrality by 2050. The project includes the 200-MW
Donghae 1 floating wind farm; Hyundai Heavy Industries and
Doosan's 100-MW H2
plant; and Korea National Oil Corp.'s
green H2 production plant, among other infrastructure.
The government also plans to place more than 6 MM
H2-fueled vehicles on the road by 2040. According to analysts,
this will require H2 production of more than 5.2 MMtpy.
To provide H2 fuel, the HyStation consortium-Woodside,
Kogas, Hydrogenic Energy Fund, Samsung C&T, the Industrial
Bank of Korea and Hyundai Rotem-are building new H2
refueling stations throughout the country. The stations will
primarily target public bus fleets.
Meanwhile, Korea Gas Corp. plans to boost H2
production
by building 25 production bases nationwide, along
with constructing new supply chains and distribution channels.
It also plans to invest in liquefied H2
.
A consortium consisting of Air Liquide, Airbus, Incheon
International Airport Corp. and Korean Air are conducting a
feasibility study to decarbonize South Korea's aviation sector.
The study includes incorporating new H2
infrastructure
at the Incheon airport, as well as using H2 to fuel aircraft.
Hyundai Oilbank plans to build a blue H2
ecosystem in
South Korea with a total capacity of 100,000 tpy by 2025.
The company plans to use the produced H2
for products
production and as a fuel for power generation. In Boryeong,
Korea Midland Power and SK E&S are developing blue H2
production capacity. The project will be within Korea Midland
Power's Boryeong Power Plant and produce 25 tpy of
H2
once completed.
SGH2
Energy Global, GS E&C and KOSPO/Southern
Power have signed an MoU to design, build and operate
the world's first fuel cell power plant. The $140-MM plant,
located in Ulsan, would use H2
for power. Once operational in 2025, the plant will produce
3,850 tpy of clean H2
waste, which is expected to generate 60 GWh/yr.
SK Group plans to start operations on a new H2
in late 2023/early 2024. The plant will produce blue H2
from 40,000 tpy of mixed plastics
complex
from
imported natural gas and supply it to the southern ports
of Yeosu and Gwangyang. In turn, the H2
will help provide
power, fuel ships and vehicles, etc. The project is part of
SK Group's initiative to invest $16 B in South Korea's H2
industry. In Daesan, LG Chem is building a 56,000-Nm3
plant that will convert methane-rich offgas from the naphtha
cracking process into H2
into the Daesan's complex's naphtha cracking unit.
Malaysia. In February 2021, national energy giant Petronas
announced a partnership with Japanese LNG importer
JERA to collaborate on a wide range of low-carbon energy
initiatives covering H2
, ammonia, LNG and CCS solutions-
Petronas is developing the Kasawari Phase 2 CCS project
offshore Malaysia, which will have the ability to capture
3.7 MMtpy-4 MMtpy of CO2
Petronas established a H2
and is already producing blue H2 at its refineries.
The company is also foraying into green H2
as part
of its effort to achieve carbon net neutrality by 2050. In
late 2020, Petronas announced that it would partner with
SEDC Energy, a subsidiary of state-owned utility Sarawak
Economic Development Corp., for a large-scale, hydropower-driven
H2
production facility.
In Bintulu, Lotte Chemical, POSCO and SEDC Energy are
developing the H2biscus project. The project will use hydropower
and natural gas to produce 7,000 tpy of green H2
to produce 630,000 tpy of ammonia.

Other Asia-Pacific nations. To help decarbonize the
heavy-duty transportation sector in New Zealand, Hiringa
Energy and Waitomo Group have started construction on
the first of four H2
refueling stations in the country. According
to the Hiringa Energy's CEO, heavy transport makes up
only 4% of New Zealand's vehicles but accounts for more
than 25% of emissions. The first H2

stations on New Zealand's South Island. These stations will
be built over the course of 4 yr-5 yr to support an increasing
amount of H2
Indonesia is actively advancing the development of
a green H2 and green ammonia value chain, along with
incorporating CCS projects to mitigate carbon emissions
(e.g., ExxonMobil is working with Pertamina to locate underground
storage for CO2
in the event the company advances
CCUS projects). The country plans to reduce carbon emissions
by 20% by 2030 and reach net-zero targets by 2060.
Samsung and Hyundai are developing a $1.2-B project

The plant will utilize geothermal power from the Sarulla
geothermal power plant. At the time of this publication, the
project was undergoing a feasibility study.
Fortescue Future Industries is exploring the possibility of
building a production facility to produce up to 600,000 tpy

A consortium consisting of PTT Exploration and Production,
Air Liquide, YTL PowerSeraya, Oiltanking Asia Pacific,
Kenoil Marine Services and A. P. Moller-Maersk is conducting
a feasibility study to build a 50,000-tpy e-methanol plant in
Singapore. If built, the plant would use captured CO2
