In India, BioEnergy Times reported that Hyundai Motor Group is accelerating South Korea’s shift toward a hydrogen-powered economy with a 1-gigawatt green hydrogen production complex and related technology manufacturing, planned over the five years to 2030.
At the center of the initiative is a hydrogen production hub in South Jeolla Province, beginning with a 500-megawatt phase before expanding to 1 gigawatt. It will be supported by manufacturing lines for proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers and hydrogen fuel-cell components, creating an integrated link between industrial gas supply and transport demand, according to the report.
Alongside the production complex, Hyundai is constructing a major PEM technology manufacturing facility in Ulsan. The company plans to invest about $630 million over the construction period, targeting operations from 2027, the report added.
