South Korea hydrogen station turns biogas into transport fuel
In the UK, Gas World reported that South Korean renewable energy specialist EcoSimplex has begun commercial operation of its ECO-Hydrogen Station in Seoul, Korea, to produce hydrogen from biogas.
The facility sources biogas from a local sewage treatment plant and processes around 4,000 normal cubic meters each day to generate around 500kg of hydrogen.
The hydrogen is slated for supply to route buses, police buses, and hydrogen passenger cars, according to the report.
“By supplying hydrogen fuel generated from biogas derived from citizens’ sewage, we can contribute to building a sustainable society by reducing greenhouse gases, improving the environment, achieving energy-self reliance, and expanding hydrogen infrastructure,” said Kim Youngmin, Vice President of EcoSimplex.
According to EcoSimplex, it plans to expand future hydrogen projects based on the experience gained from building and operating the ECO-Hydrogen Station, the report added.
