Jung Sungwoo was awarded for his paper titled "Geological Hydrogen Production Potential and Mineralogical Mechanism Identified Through High-Temperature and High-Pressure Water-Rock Reaction Experiments on Basaltic Rocks" (Advisor: Yang Minjun) at this conference.

This academic conference was held from the 2nd to the 4th at Busan Hanwha Resort, featuring a total of six general sessions, three short courses, special lectures, and presentations of over 50 papers.

In this research, conducted jointly with Park Jinyoung, co-CEO of Yble Co., Ltd., and Dr. Ko Kyungtae of the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources, Jung Sungwoo performed laboratory-scale water-rock reaction experiments on basaltic rocks distributed in Korea. By identifying the potential for domestic natural hydrogen production utilizing geological mechanisms, the research received high praise.

At this academic conference, the Korean Society of Engineering Geology selected six papers presented by Pukyong National University, Chungbuk National University, Chungnam National University, Sejong University, Kangwon National University, and Honam University to receive the Excellent Academic Presentation Award.
