Air Products unveils hydrogen fueling station in South Korea

The station is located in the company’s industrial gas facility in Ulsan, one of China’s leading cities in hydrogen mobility

Air Products has recently opened a new hydrogen fueling station at its industrial gases facility in Ulsan City, South Korea.  The station is the first built and operated by the private sector in the city under South Korea’s government subsidy program.

The opening is part of the Air Products's ongoing commitment to Ulsan City, which houses the country's hydrogen industry hub and is one of the three pilot cities in the national hydrogen economy roadmap.

Ulsan, the country's largest hydrogen production and distribution city, has been designated as a Free Trade Zone for hydrogen mobility development. It was the first city to operate hydrogen buses and taxis and has established itself as the center of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

"As the world's largest hydrogen producer and a global leader in hydrogen technology, Air Products is committed to supporting South Korea to realize a hydrogen-powered society through our expertise across every aspect of the Hydrogen for Mobility value chain," said Kim Kyo-Yung, president of Air Products Korea.

South Korea is one of the leading countries to develop a hydrogen-based economy. Its hydrogen economy roadmap includes a goal of producing 6.2 million fuel cell vehicles and rolling out at least 1,200 hydrogen fueling stations by 2040.
