Meanwhile, GS Energy will oversee producing the clean energy as well as building import terminals. This news was released in a statement from the logistics unit of Hyundai Motor Group.
Hyundai Glovis is investing 200 billion won (US$154 million) to build two large gas carriers (VLGC) as part of the company's drive to increase its presence in clean-energy shipping.

By utilizing liquid Ammonia and other liquids, the partnership aims to facilitate more efficient transportation of these valuable resources.
