In Argentina, Mobility Plaza reported that Korean firm SK E&S has completed the first liquefied hydrogen (H2) fueling station in South Korea’s Gyeonggi province, established to power up to 120 buses daily. The site is operated by SK Plug Hyverse, a joint venture between SK E&S and Plug Power in 2022 to boost H2 initiatives across Asia. Equipped with a 4-ton liquefied hydrogen storage tank, cryogenic pumps, and two dispensers, the facility can supply H2 to six buses per hour, or about 120 buses per day, according to the report. “Liquefied hydrogen refueling stations have the advantage of being suitable for large commercial vehicles and are expected to spread in earnest with the recent expansion of commercial vehicles such as hydrogen buses,” said Soyeop Soo, Vice President of SK E&S. Located in the parking lot of SK Hynix’s Icheon Campus, the site will supply hydrogen fuel to commuter buses for SK Hynix employees, the report added. The Icheon station will get its liquid hydrogen supply from SK E&S’s Incheon Liquid Hydrogen Plant.
