HD Hyundai Infracore, Cooperation in Clean Energy Generation Using Hydrogen Engine Technology

• US Amogy, SK Innovation jointly develop hydrogen power generation system utilizing clean ammonia
• Combination of 22-liter hydrogen fuel cell engine and ammonia hydrogen cracker 'cracker'

  

 

HD Hyundai Infracore, a subsidiary of HD Hyundai Construction Equipment, is embarking on clean energy generation using ammonia decomposition hydrogen.

HD Hyundai Infracore announced on Monday the 4th that it recently signed a strategic partnership with US Amogy and SK Innovation for the development of a clean ammonia and hydrogen power generation system.

The goal of this partnership is to commercialize a hydrogen engine power generation system that uses clean hydrogen decomposed from ammonia as fuel by 2027.

HD Hyundai Infracore will embark on the development of a 22-liter hydrogen fuel cell engine for power generation, and Amogy will develop an 'ammonia cracker', a device that decomposes ammonia to produce clean hydrogen, and will combine the products of each company.

In addition, the three companies, HD Hyundai Infracore, Amoji, and SK Innovation, will cooperate to discover commercialization opportunities for the power generation solution they are jointly developing this time.

HD Hyundai Infracore plans to enter the distributed power generation system market and the clean hydrogen power generation bidding market opened by the government through the clean ammonia and hydrogen power generation system it is developing this time.
  
Ammonia maintains a liquid state even at higher temperatures than hydrogen, and it also has a lower risk of ignition and explosion, making it advantageous for transport and storage. Accordingly, liquefied ammonia is emerging as a realistic solution for clean hydrogen power generation.

An official from HD Hyundai Infracore said, “We will contribute to the revitalization of the clean hydrogen power generation market by integrating cutting-edge hydrogen engine technology and ammonia decomposition technology,” and “We will continue to enhance commerciality and explore various business opportunities in the long term.”
