Gyeongnam Province's First LPG+ Hydrogen Hybrid Charging Station ... Changwon 'Jukgok Hydrogen Charging Station'

The Province's First LPG+Hydrogen Combined Charging Station...Enhancing Convenience for Hydrogen Vehicle Users

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] On the 5th, the 'Jukgok Hydrogen Charging Station' opened in Jukgok-dong, Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam.

This is the first high-performance hydrogen charging station installed in Jinhae-gu.

With a charging capacity of 55kg per hour, it can charge 11 hydrogen passenger cars and 2 hydrogen buses.

Two vehicles can be charged simultaneously, reducing charging and waiting times.

Also, it is the province's first LPG+hydrogen 'complex charging station' installed on the site of an existing LPG charging station, allowing shared use of the existing LPG station's rest facilities.

A 'complex charging station' refers to adding a hydrogen charging station to the site of an existing gas station or LPG·CNG charging station, which increases resident acceptance due to the reuse of existing gas station land.

Moreover, it offers advantages such as reduced operating costs through shared charging personnel and ease of conversion to hydrogen charging stations, emerging as an efficient way to expand hydrogen charging stations.

At the opening ceremony, Park Jongwon, Deputy Governor for Economy of Gyeongnam Province, said, "Popularizing eco-friendly hydrogen vehicles is an essential task to respond to the climate crisis and achieve carbon neutrality," adding, "To this end, we will continuously expand hydrogen charging infrastructure and strengthen support in cooperation with government ministries to ensure stable initial operation."

Meanwhile, the province announced plans to establish nine additional hydrogen charging stations by the end of the year in Gimhae, Jinju, Tongyeong, and other cities.
