In December 2023, E&CO Co., Ltd. successfully completed two engineering contracts with A research institute based in Daejeon: a design service for ammonia facility construction and a detailed engineering and technical review for a liquefied ammonia system. This scope of work was a prerequisite for establishing a high-pressure ammonia gas storage and supply system at the institute. The main tasks included drafting the project execution plan, selecting equipment specificatio

In connection with the hydrogen bunkering research project led by the Korean Register (KR), the safety operation procedures for hydrogen-fueled ships and hydrogen carriers were jointly developed over the course of two years (2023~2024) by the E&CO R&D Technology Institute and a company specialized in shipbuilding engineering. The procedures were prepared separately for the hydrogen-fueled ships bunkering systems-including gaseous hydrogen, liquid hydrogen, and solid hydrogen

E&CO Co., Ltd. is currently developing Korea’s first 40ft ISO tank container capable of storing, transporting, and supplying liquid hydrogen (LH₂), as part of a national R&D initiative selected under the “Export-Oriented Strategic Task” of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. This R&D project applies E&CO’s proprietary technologies to ensure tight sealing and insulation in ultra-cryogenic conditions (-253°C), including its previously developed Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI) jig

In February 2023, E&CO Co., Ltd. was successfully completed an engineering service project constructed by the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) for the establishment of a performance test facility for marine waste heat recovery systems.
