Operation Begins at Gyeongnam Eastern Region's First Gimhae Hydrogen Charging Station

Hydrogen Refueling Available Starting July 1

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongsangnam-do and Gimhae City will begin operating the Gimhae Hydrogen Charging Station starting July 1.

This is the first hydrogen charging station in the eastern region of Gyeongnam and the eighth in the province.

The Gimhae Hydrogen Charging Station has a capacity to charge 50 kg per hour and up to 520 kg per day.

It can charge 130 hydrogen passenger cars (5 kg each).

The hydrogen sales price will be determined considering the price of nearby hydrogen charging stations (8,000 KRW per kg).

Gimhae City plans to establish an on-site manufacturing charging system in collaboration with Korea Gas Corporation by the end of this year.

This method produces hydrogen by reforming natural gas within the charging station site and delivers it to the charging device to charge hydrogen vehicles.

Additionally, the province and city are reviewing the introduction of hydrogen buses on routes between Gimhae and Busan starting November this year.

Through this, it is expected to contribute to expanding resident acceptance of the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam hydrogen economy zone promoted by the province.
