On the 30th, an official is refueling a vehicle with hydrogen at the first self-service hydrogen refueling station in Korea, located at Incheon International Airport Terminal 2. In Korea, hydrogen gas has been regulated under the High-Pressure Gas Safety Control Act, preventing drivers from refueling by themselves. However, in December last year, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy approved a regulatory sandbox for demonstration purposes at the 6th Industrial Convergence Regulatory Special Committee, on the condition that a safety management system is established and safety training is followed. The self-service hydrogen refueling demonstration project will be conducted until December 2023. /Reporter Moon Honam munonam@
