Development and installation of a hydrogen refueling station defect analysis monitoring system

Baker Hughes supports the achievement of Korea's hydrogen economy activation roadmap and provides safe hydrogen energy sources.

Bentley Nevada, a division of Baker Hughes, announced on the 23rd that it has signed a contract with Korea Gas Technology Corporation to supply a monitoring system to improve the operational efficiency of hydrogen refueling stations.

The contract period is three years and is a follow-up to the agreement signed by the two companies in July 2021 for hydrogen technology collaboration.

Bentley Nevada plans to develop a fault analysis system for Korea Gas Technology Corporation's hydrogen refueling stations and provide extensive monitoring and protection services. The work will be carried out by a service team from Bentley Nevada, one of the 120 Baker Hughes employees based in Korea.

This project presents a path for future collaboration between the two companies to accelerate the supply of hydrogen as an alternative energy source in Korea. Korea's roadmap for revitalizing the hydrogen economy aims to produce 6.2 million fuel cell electric vehicles and build 1,200 hydrogen charging stations by 2040.

Cho Yong-don, President of Korea Gas Technology Corporation, stated, “Korea Gas Technology Corporation is pursuing a strategic transformation in line with the Korean government’s vision of becoming a leading nation in the global hydrogen economy,” adding, “With Bentley Nevada’s intelligent monitoring system, Korea Gas Technology Corporation will be able to realize its plan to provide safe, clean alternative energy sources to the public anywhere.”

"Baker Hughes Korea CEO Ji Ye-young said, 'We will support Korea Gas Technology Corporation in performing equipment maintenance in a predictive and proactive manner, enabling them to identify problems before equipment damage or breakdowns occur,' adding, 'I am pleased to support Korea's rapid clean energy transition.'"
