The government provided 8244 billion won to the hydrogen industry this year… Accelerating the conversion of the hydrogen economy

[헬로티]

Private companies such as SK and Hyundai Motor Company, “Invest 43 trillion won in hydrogen economy by 2030”

▲ The Hydrogen Economy Committee is the Korea Hydrogen Economy Control Tower, which is composed of the Prime Minister, the ministers of eight related ministries, and private experts in different fields such as industry, academia, and civic groups.

The 3rd Hydrogen Economy Committee was held at SK Incheon Petrochemical on the 2nd, presided over by Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun.

The Hydrogen Economy Committee is the Korea Hydrogen Economy Control Tower, composed of private experts in each field, such as the Prime Minister and eight related ministries, industry, academia, and civic groups. As the law)’ was in full force, it was officially launched as a government-wide public-private joint council that oversees major policies.

At the committee on that day, Prime Minister Chung said that Korea has achieved the world’s No. 1 hydrogen car sales for the past two years in a row, the domestic hydrogen car supply 110,000 units (cumulative), and the world’s No. 1 supply of fuel cells for power generation, and the achievements of the hydrogen economy are gradually becoming visible. While evaluating, with the full implementation of the 「Hydrogen Act」 this year, the people, companies, and the government joined forces with the mind of’Dongju Mutual Aid’ to create a balanced hydrogen industry ecosystem throughout the production, distribution, and utilization of hydrogen. He announced that it will move toward carbon neutrality.

In addition, Prime Minister Chung said, “The reason that companies representing the Korean economy in various fields such as energy, steel, chemicals, and automobiles prepared 43 trillion won worth of hydrogen economy investment plans by 2030 is that hydrogen, which has stayed in the laboratory, is the mainstream of the market economy. “It will be an inflection point for the hydrogen economy,” he praised. “The government also established a collective support system that encompasses the entire production, transportation, and utilization of liquefied hydrogen in order to supply cheap hydrogen, which is the basis of the hydrogen economy, and establishes safety standards for liquid hydrogen. We will make an effort to ensure that the private investment plan can be realized as soon as possible by promoting improvement as soon as possible.”

On the other hand, the government plans to accelerate the transition to a hydrogen economy by supporting a budget of 8244 billion won this year, a 40% increase from last year, to ▲ hydrogen mobility, ▲ hydrogen production and distribution infrastructure, ▲ core technology development and ▲ hydrogen demonstration cities. .

In addition, it seeks ways to build a self-sustaining hydrogen ecosystem with the region, such as applying for a preliminary feasibility study to create specialized hydrogen industry integration complexes for each field such as bio-green hydrogen, mobility, and fuel cells in areas such as Incheon, Saemangeum, and Ulsan. I plan to go out.

As a plan to accelerate the spread of the hydrogen economy this year, the number of hydrogen charging stations (currently 73 units) will be increased to more than 180 units by the end of the year. Also revealed.

The agenda discussed at the 3rd Hydrogen Economy Committee was firstly, as a hydrogen economy private investment plan and government support plan, five groups, including SK, Hyundai Motors, POSCO, Hanwha, and Hyosung, as well as small and medium-sized companies, to produce, distribute, and distribute hydrogen by 2030. It plans to promote investment of 43.4 trillion won in all areas of the hydrogen economy, such as storage and utilization, and the government also announced that it will actively support private investment so that it can be carried out smoothly.

In order to cultivate a’hydrogen-specialized company’ as a business plan of an agency in charge of hydrogen economy in 2021, we support technology transfer, product certification, prototype production, and market development, induce hydrogen price reduction through joint purchase of hydrogen, and hydrogen tube trailers. It announced that it plans to improve the operating conditions of the charging station by purchasing it and leasing it at a low cost at a charging station.

In addition, in preparation for the implementation of the’Hydrogen Act’ in the field of hydrogen safety, detailed safety standards for hydrogen products will be prepared, and liquefied hydrogen safety standards will be prepared as soon as possible in line with the supply of liquefied hydrogen production and charging stations.

Meanwhile, Seoul is planning to build a hydrogen experience museum near the Sangam hydrogen charging station in Mapo-gu to promote and educate the environment and safety of hydrogen.

The museum improves people’s understanding of hydrogen by exhibiting hydrogen products, experiencing new hydrogen technologies using virtual and augmented reality, and education related to hydrogen. The plan is to provide various hydrogen experience programs in connection with hydrogen-related facilities such as battery power plants.
