Hyundai and Air Liquide advance hydrogen partnership

The partners announced the renewal of their memorandum of understanding (MoU) at the Hydrogen Council CEO Summit in Seoul, South Korea. The partnership aims to lead to the expansion of a comprehensive hydrogen ecosystem, encompassing production, storage, transportation and utilisation.

The partnership will focus on scaling up hydrogen use across key regions, including Europe, Korea, and the US, with specific emphasis on heavy-duty transport, logistics, and public transportation. By combining Air Liquide's technical expertise with the Group's leadership in mobility innovation, both companies will contribute to the development of a sustainable energy landscape and the achievement of carbon neutrality.

Ken Ramirez, Head of Energy & Hydrogen Business Division at Hyundai Motor Group, said: "Hyundai Motor Group is proud to deepen its collaboration with Air Liquide to realise our shared vision of a hydrogen-powered future. Together, we are building a robust hydrogen value chain, from production to utilization, with the aim of making hydrogen a practical and sustainable solution for global energy challenges."

Armelle Levieux, Vice President of Innovation, Electronics and Hydrogen at Air Liquide, added: "We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with Hyundai Motor Group. Collaborations like this between leaders across the value chain are essential to building the hydrogen economy. The progress we have made in Korea highlights what's possible when industry leaders work together for a sustainable future."

Building a global hydrogen ecosystem

• Infrastructure expansion: developing hydrogen refuelling networks and storage capacity to meet growing demand.
• Reliable supply chain development: establishing a hydrogen ecosystem covering low carbon and renewable production, transportation, distribution, and utilisation across mobility and other key sectors. A core element is also the acceleration of innovation in hydrogen technologies.
• Hydrogen mobility deployment: commercialising fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) for diverse applications, including logistics fleets, public buses and port operations.
