SK Group announced last month that it would invest in assets that will provide hydrogen as a next-generation eco-friendly energy source.  The company, South Korea’s largest LNG supplier, is also looking to operate an eco-friendly blue hydrogen mass production system. It imports more than 3mn mt/yr of LNG and plans to additionally produce 250,000 mt of blue hydrogen from 2025 by using natural gas.
