Sejong-si Builds Hydrogen Refueling Station in Daepyeong-dong... "45 Hydrogen Buses to Be Introduced Within the Year"

A large-capacity hydrogen refueling station will be established in the Daepyeong-dong area of Sejong City.

Sejong City announced on the 22nd that a groundbreaking ceremony for the hydrogen refueling station will be held near the compressed natural gas (CNG) refueling station in Daepyeong-dong.

The Daepyeong-dong hydrogen refueling station will be constructed at a total project cost of 9.35 billion KRW, covering a total floor area of 1,500㎡.

Once completed, this refueling station will have a refueling capacity of 300㎏/h, enabling it to refuel 15 hydrogen buses per hour based on 15㎏ per bus.

This capacity is 12 times larger than the existing hydrogen refueling stations in Daepyeong-dong and Eojin-dong, which have a refueling capacity of 25㎏/h.

Sejong City plans to introduce 45 hydrogen buses by the end of this year, and the establishment of the hydrogen refueling station is expected to contribute to the activation of hydrogen commercial vehicle distribution in the future.

Gogi-dong Deputy Mayor of Sejong City said, “Popularization of eco-friendly hydrogen vehicles is essential to respond to the climate crisis and achieve carbon neutrality,” adding, “We will strive to increase the number of hydrogen vehicles in the region by expanding refueling infrastructure.”
