Piping connection for stable hydrogen supply, first construction in Ulsan, Korea
[서프라이즈뉴스] The Ministry of Environment announced that the’Ulsan Together Hydrogen Charging Station Completion Ceremony’ was held at 101 Shinhwa-ro, Nam-gu, Ulsan-si, on the afternoon of December 30th.
The completion ceremony was held while additional quarantine measures were implemented, such as minimizing the number of participants, wearing masks, and installing dedicated booths to check fever, in addition to the quarantine rules in accordance with the administrative measures in the second stage of social distancing.
The Ulsan Together Charging Station is the first case in Korea to receive hydrogen by connecting pipes from a hydrogen production plant, and is the third by world standards, and it is expected that it will be possible to supply hydrogen continuously and stably.
The charging capacity is 770kg per day, and 130 hydrogen cars can be charged per day, which is expected to greatly improve the convenience of hydrogen car users in Ulsan.
In addition, according to the Ulsan Metropolitan City Hydrogen Pipe Network Construction Plan, if hydrogen pipes are built in the city center with a total length of 63km by 2030, it is expected that hydrogen charging stations with a pipe transfer method will be built throughout the city.
By transferring large amounts of hydrogen, which had been supplied by large vehicles, through pipes, vehicle transportation costs were reduced, and parking spaces for large vehicles were not required, making it possible to build a charging station on a narrow site.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Environment said that according to the Green New Deal promotion plan, it plans to build a total of 310 charging stations, including 250 in the city center and 60 on the highway, so that hydrogen car operators will not have any inconvenience in charging.
To this end, we are pursuing a plan to temporarily introduce special cases of permission and permission to build charging stations for rapid approval and approval, while concentrating the competences between related ministries through the’general ministry hydrogen charging station task force’.
It is also revising related laws to expand the location of hydrogen charging stations, such as improving the restrictions that allowed only the owners of existing sites in the green belt to install hydrogen charging stations.
In addition, the Ministry of Environment is planning to induce active participation of the private sector by supporting hydrogen fuel purchase costs from 2021 to resolve the chronic operating deficit.
