The largest bulk liquid hydrogen storage tank ever made in India has been flagged off by Cryogenic equipment maker INOXCVA. The launch was organised at its facility in Kandla in Gujarat and the tank will reach a clean energy demonstration project in South Korea.
Cryogenic equipment maker INOXCVA, has flagged-off the largest bulk liquid hydrogen storage tank ever made in India, from its facility at Kandla in Gujarat to a clean energy demonstration project in South Korea.
The 238 m3 bulk cryogenic storage tank is built to European Standards and to meet the Korean Gas Safety (KGS) requirements, INOXCVA said in a statement.
In 2020, Doosan Corporation announced the construction of South Korea’s 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 the 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 on INOXCVA.
“This tank, which is first in a series of many such solutions to be manufactured at our Kandla facility, will strengthen India’s hydrogen infrastructure and support the country’s vision of becoming a Green Hydrogen hub and augment the adoption of this clean gas as an energy alternate,” Siddharth Jain, Director, INOXCVA said.
