The Hydrogen Law stipulates the system to promote the implementation of the hydrogen economy, such as the Hydrogen Economy Committee, the policies to support the hydrogen economy, such as the promotion of specialized hydrogen companies, and the establishment of standards. safety for hydrogen products and installations, such as water electrolysis installations.
The promulgation of sub-laws (executive decrees and implementing regulations) for compliance with the Hydrogen Law is announced on the 5th after all procedures, including public hearings, consultations with related ministries, legislative notices, regulatory review and review legal, and deliberation and resolution by the Council of State.
In accordance with the application of the hydrogen law, various systems are introduced, such as the company identification system specialized in hydrogen.
A company specialized in hydrogen refers to a company whose share of investments, such as sales related to the hydrogen business or R&D related to the hydrogen business, is within a certain standard of total sales.
According to Article 9 of the Hydrogen Law, the government provides administrative and financial support to companies specialized in hydrogen, such as R&D demonstration and support for overseas expansion, and the promotion agency of the hydrogen industry Hydrogen (Group for the Promotion of the Hydrogen Convergence Alliance) under Article 33 of the Hydrogen Law is called ‘Hydrogen Desk’, through which personalized field difficulties are supported, such as technical and management consulting and prototype production support for companies specialized in hydrogen.
Companies that wish to be confirmed as specialized hydrogen companies can apply to the hydrogen industry promotion agency (Hydrogen Convergence Alliance Promotion Group) from day 5.
In addition, a system will be introduced to report the sale price of hydrogen at hydrogen filling stations.
The hydrogen filling station operator must inform the hydrogen sales price through the website, etc. from day 5 to the body in charge of hydrogen distribution (Gas Corporation) by virtue of article 34 of the Law. The distribution agency discloses the sale price of hydrogen at each charging station on the website as a system of oil price information (Opinet).
A system is also implemented to request the installation of hydrogen charging stations and fuel cells.
In accordance with article 19 of the Law, the Minister of Industry may request the installation of a charging station from the operators of facilities such as industrial complexes, logistics complexes, highway rest facilities and public garages, and the operator of the The facility that received the request must comply with the request unless there is a special reason.
The organizations requested to install charging stations are free economic zones, highway rest facilities, industrial complexes, logistics complexes, tourist complexes, international scientific commercial belts, special R&D zones, commercial ports, airports, public terminals, public garages , freight car rest areas and national innovation centers There are a total of 21 facilities including a complex, a railway facility, an LPG filling station, a CNG filling station and a filling station.
In addition, in accordance with article 21 of the Law, it is possible to request the installation of fuel cells from institutions subject to request for the installation of hydrogen charging stations, local public companies, metropolitan and provincial education offices, hospitals and schools, etc. , and the requested facility operator shall comply with the request unless there is a special reason.
Including the application for a fuel cell installation, there are a total of 33 installations including local public companies, metropolitan and provincial education offices, hospitals, national and public elementary and secondary schools, Korea Broadcasting Corporation, collective energy companies and housing. public. business.
Hydrogen specialized complexes are designated and pilot projects implemented.
The Ministry of Industry, in accordance with article 22 of the Law, may designate a “complex specialized in hydrogen” that integrates hydrogen companies and their support facilities, and supports the development and distribution of hydrogen vehicles and fuel cells and related facilities.
According to article 24 of the Law, ‘demonstration projects’ can be carried out, such as infrastructure construction projects related to the production, storage, transport and use of hydrogen, prototype production and demonstration projects.
The Ministry of Industry plans to establish a designation plan for specialized hydrogen complexes and an implementation plan for the hydrogen pilot project in the first half of this year.
An official from the Ministry of Industry said: “With the implementation of the Hydrogen Law, we plan to hold the ‘3rd Hydrogen Economy Committee’ in a short time to expand the infrastructure of the hydrogen economy and prepare measures to support private investment with in order to become a leading country in the hydrogen economy ”. Said.
