Consortium of LOTTE 슬롯사이트 2025년, LOTTE Fine 슬롯사이트 2025년 and Samsung Engineering and Six Others Develop Ammonia Decomposition Hydrogen Commercialization Technology to Achieve Carbon Neutrality

A consortium made up of LOTTE 슬롯사이트 2025년, LOTTE Fine 슬롯사이트 2025년, Samsung Engineering, government research institutes, and universities will team up for a national project on clean hydrogen production.

The consortium selected for the ‘Ammonia-based Clean 슬롯사이트 2025년 Production Pilot Plant Demonstration’ project, which is an open national policy project designated by the Korea Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning under the MOTIE held its launching ceremony with the attendance of representatives from each organization and agency heads, etc. at the Daejeon Convention Center in the afternoon of the 20th.

(Consortium composition: Total of 9 organizations such as LOTTE 슬롯사이트 2025년, LOTTE Fine 슬롯사이트 2025년, Samsung Engineering, Korea Institute of Energy Research, Korea Research Institute of 슬롯사이트 2025년 Technology, Gas Safety Corporation, Mirae EHS-Code Research Institute, Chungnam National University, and Kookmin University)

This national policy project began in November 2021 and will go on for 48 months, and of the total 26.2 billion KRW budget, 14.8 billion will be paid by the government and 11.4 billion will be contributed by the consortium companies. Major contents of the project include LOTTE Fine 슬롯사이트 2025년 constructing a substantiation plant that produces 800 tons of hydrogen annually based on ammonia at the Ulsan Plant and developing an annual 16,000-ton hydrogen production plant design package that is the level for commercialization, and other parties will do their part in R&D for realizing carbon neutrality for domestic companies to achieve the national greenhouse gas reduction goals (NDC).

The government predicts that the annual 슬롯사이트 2025년 demand in Korea will be 3.9 million tons in 2030 and 27 million tons by 2050. The government plans to increase the ratio of clean 슬롯사이트 2025년 to 50% by 2030 and 100% by 2050. When considering the domestic 슬롯사이트 2025년 production conditions, etc., implementation of overseas clean 슬롯사이트 2025년 is essential to achieve the goals. The government is also striving to procure global 슬롯사이트 2025년 supply chains through the ‘H2 STAR Project’ (clean 슬롯사이트 2025년 value chain project).

This national policy project is on developing ammonia decomposed 슬롯사이트 2025년 extraction technologies and procuring relevant infrastructure, and it has great meaning in that it entails ammonia decomposition technology development and substantiation with the goal of the nation’s first commercialization.

Furthermore, by substantiating ammonia decomposition technologies, which are essential for global 슬롯사이트 2025년 distribution yet still at the research stage around the world, it is expected that it will help Korea procure platform technologies and contribute to the national 슬롯사이트 2025년 economy.

LOTTE Group 슬롯사이트 2025년 Sector Representative and LOTTE 슬롯사이트 2025년 CEO and Vice Chairman Kim Gyo-hyun stated, “Production of clean hydrogen through clean ammonia pyrolysis will be the most effective hydrogen supply method in the future,” and added, “We will pursue the development of domestic technologies through the nation’s best industry-academic-research collaboration, from which LOTTE 슬롯사이트 2025년 will supply 30% of the domestic clean hydrogen demand, while manifesting an assertive hydrogen business road map through the organic cooperation within LOTTE 슬롯사이트 2025년 companies.”

Kim Yong-seok, the CEO of LOTTE Fine 슬롯사이트 2025년 that is the supervising institute of this project, commented, “LOTTE Fine 슬롯사이트 2025년 is in charge of ammonia distribution at 24% for Northeast Asia and 70% domestically, and we have abundant experience in ammonia production, storage, distribution and utilization spanning across more than 50 years.” He further added, “As the undisputed top ammonia supplier of Korea, we will create a complete ammonia-hydrogen energy pathway that encompasses ammonia import-transportation-storage-pyrolysis at a single site for the first time in the world through this project.”

Samsung Engineering President and CEO Choi Sungan explained, “Partners holding the top expertise in their respective fields have teamed up for a meaningful project to promote the domestic 슬롯사이트 2025년 economy,” and added, “Using the technologies and knowhow of Samsung Engineering acquired through numerous medium and large-sized ammonia projects throughout the world, we will successfully complete this national policy project to become a leader in the clean ammonia and clean 슬롯사이트 2025년 sectors.”

Korea Institute of Energy Research President Kim Jong-nam stated, “The Korea Institute of Energy Research has led the development of life-cycle technologies using ammonia ranging from green ammonia synthesis and 슬롯사이트 2025년 extraction to combustion technologies, and we will cooperate with companies to manifest these technologies as soon as possible. Furthermore, we will fulfill our mission as a government-invested research institute to contribute to the technologies developed through this project to play a leading role in implementing overseas clean 슬롯사이트 2025년 by entering the global market, while contributing to the realization of the national carbon neutrality policies. “

Korea Research Institute of 슬롯사이트 2025년 Technology President Yi Mihye said, “Our research institute has the world’s most efficient platform technologies for catalyst development, which is a core element for the ammonia decomposition process, and we will contribute to enhancing the national hydrogen industry competitiveness through localization of low-cost & high efficiency catalysts and procurement of technological licenses.”

Korea Gas Safety Corporation Director Yoon Bang-hyun commented, “The Korea Gas Safety Corporation developed five detailed standards (KGS Code) for 슬롯사이트 2025년 goods and 슬롯사이트 2025년 fuel facilities according to the 슬롯사이트 2025년 Act and enacted in August of this year. We will pursue legislating safety standards appropriate for the domestic situation according to the distribution timeline so that there are no issues for the new ammonia-based 슬롯사이트 2025년 extraction equipment.”
