Hylium supplies liquid hydrogen storage systems to AirFirst in Korea
Strategic contract strengthens domestic hydrogen infrastructure and global expansion ambitions.
South Korean liquid hydrogen specialist Hylium Industries has signed a major supply agreement with industrial gas giant AirFirst to provide large-scale liquid hydrogen storage systems.
The move aims to support growing hydrogen demands in Korea’s domestic market, signifying a significant milestone in the country’s hydrogen economy. Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, AirFirst serves as the country’s top supplier of gases including nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and hydrogen.
“Hylium Industries was selected as our liquid hydrogen storage partner due to its rigorous quality control, robust R&D efforts, and globally recognized safety standards,” an AirFirst spokesperson stated, citing the company’s international certifications and stringent product validation process.
Hylium is credited for localizing Korea’s liquid hydrogen technology, becoming the first domestic company to do so successfully. Its portfolio includes hydrogen liquefiers, high-capacity storage tanks, mobility tanks, and liquid hydrogen-powered drones—offering solutions across the full hydrogen value chain.
The deal with AirFirst is expected to solidify Hylium’s role not only in Korea’s hydrogen infrastructure but also in the global liquid hydrogen market.
