[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Changwon City, Gyeongnam Province, is operating the "Gyeongnam Changwon City Hydrogen Industry Joint Pavilion" at the 2021 Hydrogen Mobility+ Show exhibition held from the 8th to the 11th at KINTEX in Goyang City under the slogan "Changwon City Hydrogen Industry with Companies (Organizations)."

This event, now in its second year, is the largest domestic hydrogen industry exhibition hosted by the Hydrogen Mobility+ Show Organizing Committee and supported by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

It is a place to share innovative technologies and products aimed at achieving carbon neutrality and strengthening the domestic hydrogen industry ecosystem. This year’s exhibition is composed of three sectors: ▲Hydrogen Mobility ▲Hydrogen Charging Infrastructure ▲Hydrogen Energy, with a total of about 150 related companies participating.

Through the "Gyeongnam Changwon City Hydrogen Industry Joint Pavilion," six hydrogen-related companies and institutions from Changwon participated, exhibiting products such as hydrogen compressors, liquefied hydrogen, and high-pressure valves. It opened an opportunity to actively promote hydrogen products developed and produced in Changwon.

In particular, Mayor Heo received great attention by providing a detailed explanation of Changwon City’s hydrogen industry policy achievements during the 7th local government term and future vision to representatives of domestic hydrogen energy-related companies and institutions.

Unlike other local governments, visible achievements in hydrogen mobility distribution and demonstration, localization of charging infrastructure, advancement of hydrogen supply, and independent project promotion have drawn favorable reviews from hydrogen experts.

Mayor Heo Seong-moo said, “The Hydrogen Mobility+ Show exhibition is the largest hydrogen exhibition event in Korea, and I attended in person to accurately understand the hydrogen business trends and hydrogen industry directions that leading Korean companies are pursuing,” adding, “Through the on-site visit, I was able to learn about the direction we need to take going forward.”
