LG Chem stated today its intention to create hydrogen as a fundamental element of its 2050 Net Zero corporate sustainability objective. In accordance with this objective, the largest chemical corporation in South Korea announced plans to construct a facility in Daesan, Korea, with the capacity to manufacture 50,000 tons of hydrogen per year by the second quarter of 2024. This facility will be the first LG Chem location to manufacture pure hydrogen, excluding off-gases. “The establishment of our hydrogen plant and CO2 circulation system is an effort to create a sustainable future for our petrochemical business by achieving carbon neutrality,”…

According to Julien Rolland, head of power and renewables at commodities broker Trafigura Group Pte Ltd, “oil majors have been developing multibillion-dollar projects for eons.” This green hydrogen and green ammonia will constitute…
