A new hydrogen refuelling station and fleet of fuel cell electric buses will be established at Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea by March 2021 thanks to a new partnership.

Hyundai, Incheon International Airport Corporation (IIAC), Air Liquide Korea and Hydrogen Energy Network (HyNet) have joined forces to accelerate the airport’s efforts to become a low-carbon eco-friendly airport.

The four parties have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish the station and buses at Incheon Airport’s Terminal 2 by March 2021.

Hyundai will support the construction cost of the hydrogen station while providing fuel cell electric buses as well as their maintenance and service; Incheon International Airport will provide a site for the station; HyNet will handle its construction and operation; and Air Liquide Korea will provide two high-capacity hydrogen chargers and supply hydrogen gas.
