Air Liquide to launch hydrogen filling stations in Korea

Air Liquide has just been chosen to supply two new hydrogen filling stations in Korea, designed and developed by the Group’s Advanced Technologies teams. The first station, which will supply hydrogen at a pressure of 350 bars, will be delivered in the first quarter of 2010 for the government demonstration project, led by automobile manufacturer Hyundai Motor. The second station will be delivered in the second quarter of 2010 to the Korea Automobile Testing & Research Institute (KATRI). It will include dual pressure technology developed by Air Liquide for different types of fuel cell vehicles. The station will be installed close to the KATRI Gyeonggi-do race track, which is used for testing and research to improve vehicle safety. (December 3, 2009)
