Liquid hydrogen storage tank from India begins journey from Kandla to Korea

INOXCVA, an Indian multinational, among the world’s leading manufacturers of cryogenic equipment and solutions, flagged-off the largest bulk Liquid Hydrogen Storage Tank ever made in India.

Built with a massive storage capacity of 238 m3, the Tank embarked on its journey from INOXCVA’s Kandla facility to its destination for a clean energy demonstration project in South Korea. This bulk cryogenic storage tank is built as per European Standards and meets the Korean Gas Safety (KGS) requirements.       

In 2020, Doosan Corporation announced the construction of South Korea’s very first hydrogen liquefaction plant of 5 Tons per day capacity for the Changwon Hydrogen Liquefaction Project with Gyeongnam Province, Changwon City, at Doosan’s site at the Changwon Port. The plant is slated to commence commercial operations in 2023, offering supplies to hydrogen charging stations nationwide for buses, trucks and trams, that need to be recharged with hydrogen as ultimate clean fuel.

Doosan Corporation had signed an agreement with Air Liquide Engineering & Construction to support the construction of this liquid hydrogen plant as an enabler of clean transport development in the country. Under this framework, Air Liquide Engineering & Construction, France, placed the order for the design, manufacturing and supply of a Liquid Hydrogen tank with a capacity of more than 238 m3 to INOXCVA.
