Discussing Hydrogen Industry Topics and Issues, Promoting 'Specialized Complex'

A collaborative body involving industry, academia, and government to address current issues in the hydrogen industry and promote the designation of a specialized complex will be launched in Ulsan.

On the 20th at 10:30 a.m., Ulsan City announced that Ulsan Technopark will hold the launch ceremony of the ‘Ulsan Hydrogen Industry Council’ at Ulsan Lotte Hotel, attended by more than 20 hydrogen industry experts.

The ‘Ulsan Hydrogen Industry Council’ includes 22 representatives from Korea National Oil Corporation, Korea East-West Power, Hyundai Motor Company, Lotte Fine Chemical, Linde Hydrogen Energy, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), and others.

The launch ceremony will proceed with an introduction to the council’s operational plan, a resolution for the designation of a hydrogen specialized complex, a presentation on the current status of fostering Ulsan’s hydrogen industry, and a roundtable discussion.

The ‘Council’ will discuss various topics and issues related to the hydrogen industry, including macro policies such as hydrogen industry policy, climate crisis, and carbon neutrality, as well as hydrogen liquefaction and ammonia, mobility, hydrogen ports, carbon capture and storage, CO2 utilization, and distributed energy.

Deputy Mayor for Economic Affairs Ahn Hyo-dae said, “As the clean hydrogen era rapidly approaches, a strategy is needed for Ulsan to continuously demonstrate leadership. I hope the experts participating in this hydrogen industry council will further strengthen Ulsan’s strengths and complement its weaknesses so that Ulsan can establish itself as the world’s number one hydrogen industry city.”

Ulsan City is promoting the designation of a ‘hydrogen specialized complex’ targeting Ulsan and Mipo National Industrial Complex, Ihwa Industrial Complex, and Techno Industrial Complex.

Once the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy establishes detailed criteria in the second half of the year, Ulsan plans to apply for the designation of the ‘hydrogen specialized complex’ according to those standards.
