Hyundai Motor Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to initiate the start of clean hydrogen production using biogas.

The MoU was signed in the presence of Hyundai Engineering Construction (Hyundai E&C), Kia Corporation, and the Sudokwon Landfill Site Management Corporation (SL Corp).

Under the agreement, Hyundai aims to produce 216kg of green hydrogen per day through biogas produced by the SL Corp – a food waste treatment process – over the next two years.

Hyundai expects the hydrogen produced will be enough to charge more than 34 units of its NEXO, fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV).
