At every major hydrogen conference, the spotlight usually goes to electrolyzer giants and megawatt-scale system integrators. Yet at H2 MEET 2025, one of the most technically revealing conversations happened far from the mainstage, inside a modest booth belonging to SHINSUNG C&T, a company specializing in something few people outside the engineering bubble talk about, the components inside the electrolyzer stack.
At a moment when the hydrogen sector is shifting from demonstrations to certified, real-world deployment, H2 MEET 2025 in Korea underscored how quickly technical expectations are rising.
The World Hydrogen Expo 2025 opened today at KINTEX with a ceremony underscoring Korea’s intent to position hydrogen within its broader industrial and mobility strategy.
As Southeast Asia’s packaging waste volumes continue to rise—driven by rapid urbanization, growing consumption, and limited recycling infrastructure, policymakers and industry leaders are intensifying efforts to develop systems that can shift the region toward a functional circular economy.
South Korea’s latest move to expand green hydrogen production arrives at a time when global electrolyzer deployment is surging, growing more than 400% between 2022 and 2024, according to IEA data.
Australia’s energy transition hinges on a single figure: up to 95% variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration in the National Energy Market by 2030, according to CSIRO and AEMO modeling. Reaching that threshold, necessary for the country to hit its 43% emissions-reduction target by 2030 and net zero by 2050, requires storage technologies that can deliver reliable, multi-hour power far beyond the capabilities of lithium-ion systems.
Japan’s effort to scale low-carbon fuels has taken a tangible step forward with INPEX Corporation launching the country’s first integrated blue hydrogen and blue ammonia demonstration plant in Niigata Prefecture.
The political and economic stakes surrounding the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) became sharply visible at COP30, as competing visions for global trade, climate ambition, and industrial competitiveness played out in real time.
