[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Uljin County announced on the 12th that it has signed a preliminary feasibility study planning service contract for the large-scale hydrogen production export demonstration complex project with Next Energy Corporation and Seoul National University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation (joint consortium).

Earlier, on December 17 last year, Uljin County held a preliminary feasibility study service proposal evaluation committee and selected these two companies, which submitted technical proposals, as the first-priority preferred negotiation candidates.

The large-scale hydrogen production export demonstration complex project is a key project of Uljin County Governor Jeon Chan-geol's 7th term. Since April last year, Uljin County has focused on promoting the project, starting with establishing the basic plan and repeatedly visiting related ministries and agencies including Gyeongbuk Province.

Going forward, Uljin County plans to officially apply to the government by the end of this year for the national research and development related large-scale hydrogen production complex project through a preliminary feasibility study service for the (nuclear) large-scale hydrogen production export demonstration complex over about one year.
