Hydrogen Energy
Hydrogen: Born of Everyday, Powering Everyday
Hyundai Motor Group integrates capabilities of our affiliates within the Group to deliver end-to-end solutions across the whole hydrogen value chain. Beyond mobility expertise, the Group's unmatched cross-industry capabilities position us as a global leader in energy transition.
Hydrogen is an energy carrier that expands the renewables' efficiency by complementing intermittency, while facilitating long-term, large-volume storage. It can be produced from various organic wastes such as food waste and sewage sludge, and used as fuel for passenger vehicles, public transportation, power generation, industrial sites, and freight logistics, ultimately contributing to achieving carbon neutrality.
Amid the global challenges of climate change and energy transition, Hyundai Motor Group has pursued continuous investment in hydrogen technologies for nearly three decades, with commitment to a sustainable future.
As a result, the Group has achieved many industry first and bests, including the world’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. Building on this foundation, Hyundai Motor Group is expanding beyond mobility to establish a comprehensive hydrogen value chain encompassing production, storage, refueling, transportation, and utilization—thereby accelerating decarbonization across industries.
At the center of this ecosystem is HTWO, Hyundai Motor Group’s hydrogen brand and business platform that integrates the Group’s capabilities.
Starting with hydrogen mobility, HTWO provides integrated solutions across the entire hydrogen value chain—spanning hydrogen production, eco-friendly logistics, and the decarbonization of ports and airports—enabling carbon neutrality across diverse sectors.
As an open platform for collaboration, partnership, and investment, HTWO continues to evolve and grow, playing a pivotal role in accelerating the transition toward a hydrogen society

Clean Hydrogen Production
Hyundai Motor Group is enhancing energy production efficiency and supporting the development of distributed energy systems through diverse hydrogen production technologies. Water electrolysis technology (PEMEC) enables the production of clean hydrogen using electricity generated from renewable energy sources, without emitting exhaust or harmful gases. In addition, Waste-to-Hydrogen (W2H) technology utilizes organic waste to produce clean hydrogen, delivering a dual benefit of waste reduction and energy generation through a resource-circulating approach. -
Hydrogen Infrastructure
Hyundai Motor Group is actively expanding hydrogen refueling infrastructure by providing hydrogen dispensers as well as developing and operating hydrogen refueling stations (HRS). The Group introduced Korea’s first mobile hydrogen refueling station, and notably, the mobile station in Jeju utilized green hydrogen produced from wind power for the first time in the country. In addition, Hyundai Motor Group continues to advance innovative refueling solutions, including package-type hydrogen stations and automatic charging robots for hydrogen vehicles (ACR-H). -
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Systems
At the core of Hyundai Motor Group’s leadership in the hydrogen industry are its advanced hydrogen fuel cell systems. Building on reliable, high-quality fuel cell technologies, the Group is expanding its lineup across a wide range of applications—from mobility and power generation to construction equipment, as well as aviation and maritime transport—broadening the scope of hydrogen-based solutions for a sustainable future. -
Hydrogen Mobility
Leveraging its strengths in mobility, Hyundai Motor Group has achieved numerous global firsts in hydrogen mobility, including the world’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell passenger vehicle (NEXO), Class-8 heavy-duty truck (XCIENT Fuel Cell), and city and express buses (ELEC CITY and UNIVERSE Fuel Cell). The Group’s hydrogen mobility lineup is rapidly expanding across global markets, including North America, Europe, and Asia, contributing to the acceleration of the hydrogen era through a diverse portfolio of products. -
Industry Applications
On the path to a carbon-neutral society, there are sectors where electricity alone cannot fully replace existing energy sources. Hydrogen is emerging as a key energy carrier capable of enabling decarbonization across industries such as ports, logistics, manufacturing, and steelmaking. Hyundai Motor Group is contributing to emissions reduction in industrial environments by expanding hydrogen infrastructure to support energy production and supply, while transitioning conventional fossil fuel-based equipment to hydrogen fuel cell-powered equipment and facilities.
