An explosion occurred at approximately 1:20 p.m. on March 20 at the construction site of Lotte SK Enerut’s hydrogen fuel cell power plant in Sanggae-dong, Nam-gu, Ulsan. The incident resulted in injuries to two workers, who suffered second-degree burns to their faces and legs. Both were transported to a specialized burn hospital for treatment. According to preliminary reports, the explosion was triggered by a hydrogen leak while workers were cleaning a pipe by injecting hydrogen. Witnesses in a nearby factory reported hearing a loud “pop” at the time of the incident, but no fire was observed. Local police and fire…
