Hyundai Motor Group is partnering with Pyeongtaek Metropolis to develop Pyeongtaek Port right into a carbon-free inexperienced hydrogen port. This marks the primary time hydrogen power shall be launched to a home port terminal with the aim of reaching carbon neutrality.
Hyundai Motor Group introduced on Nov. 11 that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Pyeongtaek Metropolis authorities for constructing a carbon-neutral hydrogen port. The aim is to develop Pyeongtaek Port right into a inexperienced hydrogen port and set up the inspiration for inexperienced transport routes (routes with no carbon emissions throughout maritime transportation) primarily based on Pyeongtaek Port.
