NK Tech Wins Order for Daejeon Hydrogen Tram Charging Infrastructure View original image

On June 1, NK Tech officially announced that it has been selected as the final contractor for the "Daejeon Metropolitan City Hydrogen Tram Charging Infrastructure Construction Project," organized by Korea Gas Technology Corporation.


The Daejeon hydrogen tram is a next-generation transportation system in Daejeon Metropolitan City that can operate for over 200 kilometers on a single charge and emits no pollutants such as carbon dioxide during operation.


This project will be carried out in phases, starting with the construction of a gaseous hydrogen charging station in Phase 1, followed by the expansion and integration of an atmospheric vaporization-type liquefied hydrogen charging station in Phase 2. Once the second phase is completed, facilities with a total capacity of over 300 kg/h will be established, enabling simultaneous charging of more than four hydrogen trams per hour. This marks the first case in Korea of implementing an atmospheric vaporization-type liquefied hydrogen charging station.


With this order, NK Tech has solidified its role as the specialized affiliate for hydrogen charging infrastructure within the NK Group. In fact, NK Group is focusing on expanding and completing its future business portfolio, including NK (shipboard fire protection systems based on industrial high-pressure control technology), NK Edormant (Korean submarine project), and NK Tech (hydrogen mobility and hydrogen charging infrastructure).



Chun Youngsoo, CEO of NK Tech, stated, "We are honored to participate in this hydrogen tram charging station project," and added, "Based on the experience and technological expertise NK Tech has accumulated in the construction of hydrogen charging stations and hydrogen transportation, we will successfully complete this project and provide safe and efficient hydrogen transportation infrastructure."
