152 hydrogen refueling stations will supply 830,000 tons per year

Korea Gas Corporation is accelerating its attempts to construct a hydrogen charging station. On the 24th, the Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) revealed that by 2030, it wants to establish 152 hydrogen charging stations around the country.

KOGAS plans to construct 90 liquid hydrogen charging stations, accounting for 59.2 percent of the total. The benefit of liquid hydrogen filling stations over gaseous hydrogen filling stations is that they may be installed in less area. Gaseung Corporation intends to increase the number of liquid hydrogen installations. The remaining 62 locations will be converted into hydrogen gas filling stations. Two charging stations in Gimhae, which opened in July of last year, and one in Daegu Innovation City, which will open this year, are administered directly, while the others will be run by the private sector. The operation is scheduled to be handled by the hydrogen energy network in partnership with Korea Gas Corporation.

It is also hastening the creation of hydrogen. The hydrogen production base, which began building in December of last year at the general industrial complex in Gwangju, is at the cutting edge. It will be able to create more than 4 tons of hydrogen per day once it is completed in March of next year. This is the quantity of hydrogen that can be delivered to about 10,000 hydrogen automobiles.

This isn’t the conclusion of the story. It plans to create facilities customized to the features of each region’s need at bases such as Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, and Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do. The objective is to have an annual hydrogen supply capacity of 830,000 tons by 2030 as a result of this. It will also help import “green hydrogen” from nations with substantial renewable energy resources, such as Southeast Asia and Australia. It has been agreed that by 2030, a supply chain capable of importing 200,000 tons of green hydrogen per year will be in place. In all, it has a hydrogen supply capacity of 1.03 million tons per year.

“We will be reborn as a representative hydrogen platform operator by building a hydrogen value chain that includes hydrogen production, supply, and distribution,” a Korea Gas Corporation official stated.”
