South Korea's Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co. (Hyundai E&C) will lead a consortium to build the nation's first hydrogen production facility powered by nuclear energy, the company announced on Wednesday.

The primary objective of this partnership is to successfully execute a pilot project for clean hydrogen production using nuclear power, thereby accelerating efforts to commercialize the technology.

This initiative is a first for South Korea, setting the stage for stable and large-scale clean hydrogen production in the future.
