Since the industry briefing session held last April, the domestic clean hydrogen certification system has completed the legislative notice for subordinate regulations under the Hydrogen Act, and the legal review is currently underway. Separate research on clean hydrogen certification methodologies and incentive plans is also in progress.
The forum was organized with the purpose of enhancing policy acceptance through proactive participation of companies and joint discussions between the public and private sectors, and to accelerate the design of the certification system.
At the forum, domestic and international specialized organizations presented trends and operational directions of the clean hydrogen certification system. Overseas specialized organizations such as Argus Media shared information on similar overseas certification systems and global hydrogen price data, while domestic specialized organizations like the Hydrogen Convergence Alliance (H2KOREA) introduced the ongoing certification system design directions and incentive plans.
