Incheon Hydrogen Liquefaction Plant Build the world's largest liquefaction plant
SK Innovation E&S built the world's largest hydrogen liquefaction plant (annual capacity: 30,000 tons) on about 50,000㎡ of land inside SK Incheon Petrochemical Plant. Since it is the only hydrogen liquefaction plant located in the metropolitan area in Korea, it is able to transport and supply economically to the metropolitan area, which is the main demand.

Aerial view of Boryeong Blue Hydrogen Plant Using LNG value chain to produce blue hydrogen
SK Innovation E&S is considering an expansion into the blue hydrogen business from a long-term perspective. Blue hydrogen is produced from natural gas, with carbon captured and removed during the hydrogen production process, making it a clean form of hydrogen. We plan to build a blue hydrogen plant near the Boryeong LNG terminal, using natural gas produced from the Barossa gas field as feedstock.
