This public offering project is a project to build and demonstrate a garage-type hydrogen bus charging station capable of generating hydrogen by receiving electricity from solar energy in the overseas area (UAE) .For 4 years and 9 months, one cost project total of 34 1 billion won (national spending 22 billion won, 12 billion won in private spending) will be invested.
The first stage (April 2021 to December 2023) is national and the second stage (January 2024 to December 2025) takes place abroad.
12 joint R&D institutes, focused on the Gas Technology Corporation, will promote the project through hydrogen production linked to renewable energy power, safety, design and construction of charging systems, and national and international cooperation.
The ultimate goal of this study is to lay the foundation for the overseas (Middle East) expansion of the hydrogen public transport system through the development and demonstration of hydrogen infrastructure technology capable of producing hydrogen at more than 35 kg per hour, loading two buses simultaneously and twice in a row, and loading more than 1 ton per day.
Through this, it is expected that manufacturers can export prototypes and KOGAS can expand the construction of hydrogen charging stations and the consignment operation business abroad.
In the first stage, a national demonstration site and a hydrogen bus will be secured through a public offering by local governments, and a large capacity hydrogen production and charging facility will be installed that can be operated even at high temperatures (50 ℃) in the United Arab Emirates. developed and demonstrated.
The core equipment of the hydrogen bus charging station, such as compressors (Kwangshin Machinery Industry), refrigerators (energy) and chargers, will be developed through domestic and foreign demonstrations of technologies that operate and maintain safely even in environments of high temperature.
Water electrolysis systems that produce hydrogen using renewable energy are also necessary to develop systems (Korea Energy Research Institute, Korea Hydroelectric and Nuclear Power, etc.) because high temperatures affect chemical reactions and hydrogen production.
In the second stage, the technology developed in the first stage is locally optimized and tested. Performance is improved by analyzing and verifying the impact of the local environment abroad.
Ko Young-tae, President of Gas Technology Corporation, said: “Through this project, we will promote national public transportation infrastructure technology from hydrogen production to bus operation in the world and help domestic companies to advance in foreign markets, contributing to the revitalization of the hydrogen economy. “
