Driving force to attract Saemangeum green hydrogen production clusters in the province with the content that the hydrogen law will be enforced from the 5th and designated as a hydrogen-specialized complex
However, since it has not yet been selected as a project subject to the cluster preliminary feasibility study, Jeollabuk-do focuses on applying for the project subject to the preliminary feasibility study planned in February.
With the’Hydrogen Economy Promotion and Hydrogen Safety Management Act’ enacted in Korea for the first time in the world, attention is focused on the production of hydrogen cars in Wanju-gun, Jeollabuk-do, and the production cluster of Saemangeum Green Hydrogen, which is called the domestic hydrogen industry Silk Road.
According to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, after the world’s first hydrogen law was enacted in February of last year, it will go into full-scale enforcement from the 5th, following procedures such as preparing enforcement rules.
From this day on, with the implementation of the first hydrogen law in Korea, △Hydrogen specialized company confirmation system △Hydrogen sales price reporting system △Hydrogen charging station and fuel cell installation request system △Hydrogen-specialized complex designation and pilot projects will be implemented.
Among them, the designation of a hydrogen-specialized complex is expected to have an advantage in designating a hydrogen-specialized complex in the future as Jeonbuk preoccupied the domestic hydrogen industry market in connection with carbon.
In addition, Jeonbuk-do is closely related to the green hydrogen production cluster that is being promoted with the goal of establishing it in 2027, and after Jeonju-Wanju was selected as a government hydrogen model city, a business agreement was established with KEPCO KDN to form a promotion organization and cooperative relationship. Another advantage is that they have concluded.
The Saemangeum Green Hydrogen Production Cluster is a business that researches and develops technology that converts green hydrogen generated when water is decomposed by electricity to energy, or directs related industries.
According to Article 22 of the Hydrogen Act,’The Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy promotes integration by attracting hydrogen businesses and their supporting facilities, and designating a hydrogen-specialized complex to support the development and distribution of hydrogen electric vehicles and fuel cells, etc. It is possible to provide support, so it is possible to increase the sense of speed in the cluster promoted by Jeonbuk.
In addition, the official also explained that the support system was prepared for attracting companies in the cluster in the future, as well as the fact that the details of support were included in the law by specifying the targets of the pilot project.
In addition, if a hydrogen specialized company in the established cluster is confirmed as a hydrogen specialized company in accordance with Article 9 of the Hydrogen Act, administrative and financial support such as R&D demonstration and overseas expansion support can make the Saemangeum green hydrogen production cluster more attractive.
However, as the task of selecting a target for a preliminary feasibility study remains in the process of creating a green hydrogen production cluster, Jeonbuk is in a position that it will focus on this.
A Jeonbuk-do official said, “If the Saemangeum green hydrogen production cluster is established, it is expected that more companies will be able to attract more companies with this hydrogen law.” However, as it must be selected as a project subject to the preliminary feasibility study, the application for preliminary projects in February I plan to make an effort.”
