Topsoe inks deal to boost Approtium’s hydrogen production in South Korea

February 22, 2024 |

In Denmark, Topsoe has signed an engineering agreement with Approtium, a South Korean industrial supplier of hydrogen, to deliver its ammonia cracking technology, H2RETAKE, converting low-carbon ammoni, back into hydrogen. Under the terms of the deal, Topsoe will deliver its technology to Approtium’s project in Ulsan, South Korea. The facility is projected to produce 75,000 metric tons of hydrogen annually, which will support South Korea’s growing need for co-firing in the power generation sector. The project contributes significantly to South Korea’s target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions with 40% in 2030. Elena Scaltritti, Chief Commercial Officer at Topsoe, said: “We are excited to embark on this project with Approtium, showcasing not only the potential of our innovative technology, but also the strengths of ammonia as a key energy carrier. Greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced drastically on a global scale and through this project, Topsoe delivers a strong contribution to support South Korea’s decarbonization targets.”
