据MRCHUB网站5月31日莫斯科报道，根据炼油&石油化工网信息显示，麦克德莫特的存储业务部门CB&I和韩国天然气公社(KOGAS)签署了一份谅解备忘录(MOU)，以探索大规模液氢存储的开发，以支持韩国的氢经济规划。

麦克德莫特在一份声明中写道，去年，韩国宣布了到2050年实现碳中和的计划，用可再生能源取代燃煤发电，用氢动力和电池驱动的电动汽车取代内燃机汽车。

该声明指出，KOGAS已发展成为世界上最大的液化天然气进口公司，在韩国运营着四个液化天然气再气化终端和4945千米的天然气管道。

KOGAS执行副总裁Seung Lee在评论这一发展时表示，氢气已成为实现这些脱碳目标的关键因素，KOGAS将在建设氢气运输、储存和配送基础设施方面发挥主导作用，以实现这些目标。

McDermott CB&I signs MoU with Korea Gas to support hydrogen economy

McDermott’s storage business unit, CB&I, and Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore the development of large-scale liquid hydrogen storage to support Korea’s hydrogen economy roadmap, said Refiningandpetrochemicalsme.

Last year, South Korea announced plans to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 by replacing coal-fired power generation with renewable sources and internal combustion engine vehicles with hydrogen-powered and battery-based electric vehicles, McDermott wrote in a statement.

KOGAS has grown into the largest LNG-importing company in the world and operates four LNG regasification terminals and 4,945 kilometres of natural gas pipelines in South Korea. the statement noted.

Commenting on the development, Seung Lee, executive vice president of KOGAS said: “Hydrogen has emerged as a key enabler to meet these decarbonization goals and KOGAS will play a leading role in building the infrastructure for hydrogen shipping, storage and distribution to make these ambitions a reality.”
