Goyang City and SK E&S will jointly promote the establishment of liquefied hydrogen refueling infrastructure and the distribution of hydrogen buses to create an "eco-friendly hydrogen mobility city."

On the 28th, SK E&S announced that it signed a business agreement with Goyang City at the mayor's office in Goyang City Hall to create an eco-friendly hydrogen mobility city. The event was attended by Lee Dong-hwan, Mayor of Goyang Special City, and So Yoo-seop, Vice President and Head of Hydrogen Business Development Group at SK E&S.

Through this agreement, Goyang City plans to introduce 300 hydrogen buses and establish liquefied hydrogen refueling stations by 2027.

SK E&S and Goyang City will also focus on building infrastructure to ensure the stable operation of hydrogen buses. Starting at the end of this year, SK E&S will produce up to 30,000 tons of liquefied hydrogen annually at the Incheon liquefied hydrogen plant and supply it as fuel for hydrogen buses. Additionally, they will establish and operate liquefied hydrogen refueling stations within Goyang City to develop the necessary infrastructure.

Goyang City will cooperate by providing permits for the liquefied hydrogen refueling infrastructure sites and leasing public bus garages. The city will also actively work to secure subsidies for purchasing eco-friendly vehicles to promote the spread of hydrogen buses.

Vice President So Yoo-seop stated, "Through this agreement, we will cooperate to successfully promote the creation of an eco-friendly hydrogen mobility city in Goyang. SK E&S will supply competitively priced liquefied hydrogen for transportation and refueling to support the introduction of more hydrogen buses in the future."
