Recently, the Korean government and related agencies established the "Hydrogen Transportation Supply and Demand Consultation Group" to promote the establishment of a stable hydrogen supply and demand infrastructure for all parties involved in hydrogen transportation applications, including the construction of 91 new hydrogen refueling stations, increasing the number of hydrogen refueling stations in each transportation base, and the completion of three liquefaction plants and six hydrogen production bases this year.

Another new breakthrough in direct hydrogen production from seawater!

Recently, an international team led by Professor Shizhang Qiao and Associate Professor Yao Zheng from the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Adelaide, Australia, successfully separated natural seawater to produce green hydrogen without any pretreatment. We use natural seawater as a feedstock without any pretreatment processes such as reverse osmosis membrane filtration, purification or alkalinization. The performance of our catalyst in a commercial electrolyzer operating in natural seawater is close to that of a platinum/iridium catalyst operating in high purity deionized water," explains Yao Zheng.
