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