World’s Largest Liquefied Hydrogen Production Plant in South Korea Promises to Produce 250,000 Tons of Clean Hydrogen Annually

WEG, one of the largest electrical equipment manufacturers in the world, continues to contribute to global CO2 emission reduction through clean energy projects. Recently, the company provided three large synchronous motors for the world’s largest liquefied hydrogen production plant in South Korea.

The project, led by a South Korean energy and chemical group, aims to meet the growing demand for hydrogen in the metropolitan area of Korea. The first phase of the plant, scheduled for completion in 2023, is expected to produce about 30,000 tons of liquid hydrogen, while the second phase, planned for 2025, aims to produce 250,000 tons of clean hydrogen per year. The plant includes a complete ecosystem ranging from production to distribution and residential, commercial, and industrial consumption.

WEG and Its Contribution to the Project

To contribute to this project, WEG provided three synchronous motors from the S series, with a power of 8,500 kW, voltage of 13,200 V, 20 poles, and 60 Hz. The motors were specifically designed to meet the application needs and will be used to drive the hydrogen production process.

Production and Export of the Motors

The synchronous motors were produced at WEG’s factory in Jaraguá do Sul, weighing an average of 56 tons each. Due to their size and weight, specialized transportation was necessary to the port of Navegantes, where the equipment was exported and shipped to South Korea.

With this project, WEG once again demonstrates its commitment to contributing to the production of clean energy and reduction of CO2. The supply of these motors for the world’s largest liquefied hydrogen production plant in South Korea is an important step for the company, which continues to invest in technology and innovation to meet global market demands.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
