[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 14th, Gyeongsangnam-do held the 2nd Gyeongsangnam-do Hydrogen Industry Committee at Bumhan Fuel Cell and held a report meeting on the final service results of the hydrogen big data business planning and the hydrogen industry promotion platform construction project.

At the meeting, Han Ok-moon, Chair of the Construction and Fire Safety Committee of the Gyeongnam Provincial Council, proposed an ordinance amendment to expand the number of hydrogen industry committee members from the current 15 to between 15 and 30.

The proposal is to appoint experts from hydrogen-related research institutes and organizations in the province as committee members to strengthen information sharing and policy cooperation among industry, academia, research, and government, fostering the hydrogen industry as a future growth industry of Gyeongnam and contributing to carbon neutrality.

Chairman Han said, "Among the 17 metropolitan local governments, 11, including our province, have hydrogen industry ordinances. As a provincial council member who sponsored the ordinance a year ago, I want to fulfill my responsibility," adding, "If the hydrogen platform is about acceptance and practical aspects of hydrogen, the hydrogen industry committee has played a role in supporting policy aspects. I hope the plan will be put into practice and achieve the expected results."

Meanwhile, the 'Ordinance on the Promotion and Support of the Hydrogen Industry in Gyeongsangnam-do' was enacted in 2020, sponsored by Provincial Council Member Han Ok-moon. The committee, consisting of 15 members including Chairperson Park Jong-won, Deputy Governor for Economy, hydrogen companies, universities, and research institutes in the province, is currently active.
