KR Awards AiP For World’s 1st Vacuum-Insulated Liquid Hydrogen Tank System

KR (Korean Register) has awarded the world’s first Approval in Principle (AIP) to HD KSOE for its breakthrough vacuum-insulated large-scale liquid hydrogen tank system, marking a significant advancement in clean energy transportation technology.

The AIP follows the successful completion of validation tests, demonstrating the system’s feasibility and innovative design.

The transition to a hydrogen-based society demands advanced technologies for the large-scale transportation and storage of hydrogen. However, the extreme cryogenic conditions required for liquid hydrogen storage at –253°C have long posed significant challenges.

HD KSOE has independently developed a vacuum-insulated liquid hydrogen tank system that addresses key challenges by introducing cutting-edge solutions.

This innovative system dramatically reduces the time required to create a vacuum in large tanks, shortening the process from several months to just a few days.

Last December, HD KSOE collaborated with leading global hydrogen industry stakeholders, including Woodside Energy, Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), and Hyundai Glovis, to conduct rigorous validation tests.

These tests marked a ground…
