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.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Physics has been challenged: researchers have discovered something that moves faster than the speed of light, but the phenomenon does not break relativity because it involves dark patterns within optical vortices.
