Lotte Chemical Discusses 'Blue Hydrogen Cooperation' with Aramco... "Coordinating Plan to Supply 1.5 Million Tons of Blue Hydrogen"
[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] Lotte Chemical is expected to begin cooperation on the 'blue hydrogen' business by partnering with Aramco, the world's largest energy company.

Blue hydrogen is produced through chemical reactions based on natural gas. The carbon dioxide generated during the process is captured and stored instead of being released into the atmosphere.
The management of both companies is coordinating a plan for Aramco to supply up to 1.5 million tons of blue hydrogen to Korea. Lotte Chemical is reportedly conducting a full-scale feasibility review centered on its Hydrogen Energy Business Unit, considering signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Aramco and investing equity in the project.
