SEOUL, July 9 (Yonhap) -- Hyundai Motor Group said Thursday it has completed South Korea's first resource-circulating clean hydrogen production facility that uses biogas extracted from sewage sludge.
The facility, named HTWO Energy, was built at a public sewage treatment plant on a 7,500-square-meter site in Cheongju, about 137 kilometers south of Seoul.
It is capable of producing about 500 kilograms of hydrogen a day, enough to charge about 100 of Hyundai Motor's Nexo hydrogen fuel cell vehicles or 30 hydrogen fuel cell buses.
The facility is equipped with an upgrading system that refines biogas into high-quality biomethane, a hydrogen extraction system that produces hydrogen by reacting biomethane with steam, and a liquefied carbon dioxide production system.
Hyundai Motor Group said it aims to expand the facility's average daily hydrogen production capacity to 2 tons by 2030.
