On the 25th, Hong Nam-ki, Deputy Prime Minister of Economy and Minister of Strategy and Finance, said, “We will allow the installation of hydrogen charging stations in urban parks and green belts.”

On the morning of this morning, Deputy Prime Minister Hong presided over the ‘5th Innovation Growth Big 3 (System Semiconductor, Future Car, Bio Health) Promotion Meeting’ at the Korea Export-Import Bank in Yeouido, Seoul. Along with support and charging support, there is an urgent need for regulatory reform to support user convenience,” he said.

He added, “We will abolish the limit on the installation area of ​​electric vehicle charging facilities, which was regulated within 20% of off-street parking lots, and open public chargers obligatory.” As demand for electric vehicles and hydrogen vehicles has not been revitalized so far, the charging problem has been cited, so it will boldly abolish related regulations.

The government also decided to ease the current registration standard for automobile maintenance, which is based only on internal combustion standards, to match electric vehicles. In the case of electric vehicle workshops, it is possible to register a workshop without having unnecessary facilities and equipment used for maintenance of internal combustion vehicles.

Korea ranked first in global sales of hydrogen cars and fourth in electric cars in the field of future cars last year. Starting with the expansion of 300,000 eco-friendly cars within this year, it plans to supply more than half of new cars as eco-friendly future cars by 2025.

Deputy Prime Minister Hong said, “For convenient parking, the parking area for eco-friendly vehicles will be expanded to more than 5% of off-street and public buildings,” and “The use of the slow charging area is allowed for up to 12 hours. , The revision of the enforcement decree and enforcement regulations will be promoted as soon as possible.”

Along with this, the government decided to mobilize all its support capabilities to accelerate private investment in the system semiconductor sector and to strengthen investment and guarantees.

Deputy Prime Minister Hong said, “To support the growth of system semiconductors, we plan to support the creation of a total of over 650 billion won, including a system semiconductor win-win fund of 100 billion won, a growth fund of 200 billion won, a DNA+Big3 fund of 250 billion won, and a small manager semiconductor fund of 100 billion won.” He said, “We plan to create KRW billion.”

The Yongin Semiconductor Cluster, which is scheduled to make large-scale investments to support private investment, will complete procedures such as approval of the Seoul Metropolitan Area Improvement Committee and the industrial complex plan in March.

He said, “We plan to build infrastructure such as water and power in a timely manner in accordance with the construction of the fab.” “In the Yongin cluster, four semiconductor fabs capable of producing up to 800,000 units per month will be established. I am going to move in from here.”

Along with this, the government plans to standardize data for each institution and build’cancer big data’ for 10 types of cancer by 2025.

Deputy Prime Minister Hong said, “We will first open the already established cancer-related genome and clinical data for research in the second half of this year, and accelerate the creation of results with the aim of developing more than five new anticancer drugs over the next 10 years. “(Korean)-Cancer (Cancer) Integrated Big Data Project Group’ will be formed and clinical research support from private medical institutions will be promoted.”
