Taylor-Wharton Awarded Korean Gas Safety Certification (KGS) For Liquid Hydrogen Storage Tanks.

Taylor-Wharton, a leading provider of liquid hydrogen (LH2) storage and distribution equipment, was recently awarded the Korean Gas Safety Certification (KGS) for its Liquid Hydrogen Storage Tanks and has shipped a multitude of 4000Kg vessels that exceed the required thermal performance of 1% net evaporation rate (NER). Taylor-Wharton, in 1995, was the first cryogenic vessel manufacturer outside of Korea to be awarded KGS approval and has continuously held this certification since shipping cryogenic tanks and transporting them in a variety of gases.

With the world’s largest hydrogen liquefaction plant under construction, Korea has committed to strong growth and development in this field. Previously announced government initiatives are establishing 1,200 hydrogen refueling stations and deploying 6.2 million hydrogen-powered vehicles by 2040 as part of its long-term goals for the hydrogen economy. Taylor-Wharton is extremely well positioned to support this growth with its hydrogen infrastructure portfolio and regional proximity.

Tim Miller, Taylor-Wharton President, said:

Taylor-Wharton is proud to be at the forefront of the energy transition in South Korea.

“We recently delivered eight tanks that will hold a combined 32,000 Kg of liquid hydrogen that will be used for clean fueling purposes.”  He added that these units are the first of many targeted for the region, continuing the progression to developing a clean, hydrogen infrastructure.
