[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan City, Silla University, and the industry-academia-research sectors of Busan are all joining forces in the green industry that produces hydrogen from ammonia.

Busan City announced that on the 10th at 2:30 PM, it will hold the "Busan-type Ammonia-based Green Hydrogen Forum" at the Nongshim Hotel to promote the hydrogen economy society.

The forum was organized to be reflected in the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's core energy technology development project research and development (R&D) designated task competition to be promoted next year. About 100 people, including energy companies, public institutions, related associations, and affiliated organizations, will attend. The event is hosted by Busan City, Busan Technopark, Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, and Silla University. Attendance is only allowed for those who registered in advance due to COVID-19.

The main content includes expert presentations and discussions on the promotion plan for Busan-type ammonia-based green hydrogen research and development (R&D). Five experts will give presentations on topics such as ammonia-based large-capacity hydrogen storage and transportation technology by Yoon Chang-won, head of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, followed by a panel discussion.

Through the forum, the city plans to actively explore the feasibility of ammonia-based hydrogen production technology and strategies for research and development (R&D) promotion.

In particular, the "Ammonia-based Green Hydrogen Research and Development (R&D) Project" promoted by Busan City is expected to greatly help revitalize the local hydrogen industry by forming a hydrogen industry chain, including green hydrogen production using ammonia infrastructure with high industrial applicability.

Shin Chang-ho, Director of the Future Industry Bureau of Busan City, said, "Through this forum, we will share with citizens the R&D project strategy for Busan-type ammonia-based green hydrogen energy promoted by Busan City, and furthermore, actively utilize it as an opportunity for Busan City to attract the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's core energy technology development project R&D designated task competition next year."
