- Selected through an open call for the construction of hydrogen charging stations in 2021.
- 1.5 billion won secured in national funding and completion eyed in the first half of next year
Yeosu City (Mayor Kwon O-bong) announced on the 4th that it plans to build the Yeosu Hydrogen Charging Station 2 in Dundeok-dong, as the city has been selected through “2021 Open Call for the Construction of Hydrogen Charging Stations” as supervised by the Ministry of Environment.
According to the city, the project implementer, Hydrogen Energy Network Co., Ltd. (HyNet) will receive government funding of 1.5 billion won and build a hydrogen charging station with a total of 3 billion won to be completed in the first half of next year.
Last year, a HyNet SPG hydrogen charging station was built in the Yeosu National Industrial Complex. Due to the long distance, however, it has caused inconvenience to citizens who operate hydrogen vehicles in the city area. When hydrogen charging stations fail, there is no alternative charging station, which has been an impeding factor in the wider use of hydrogen vehicles.
Through various efforts such as site review, the city has selected the site of the S-Oil LPG charging station (617 Jwasuyeong-ro) in Dundeok-dong, which has excellent accessibility and causes no concern about complaints with no apartments or houses nearby, with a view to the installation of additional hydrogen charging stations in the downtown area.
A city official said, "Hydrogen Charging Station 2, which has registers high accessibility and can function as an alternative charging station, is expected to greatly contribute to the expanded use of hydrogen vehicles." The city official added, “As a central city for hopefully hosting COP28, we will do our best to foster various new and future industries using eco-friendly hydrogen energy to create a carbon-neutral, clean city.
Meanwhile, Yeosu City is accepting applications throughout the year with the aim of paying subsidies (37.5 million won per vehicle) to 100 hydrogen vehicles this year following last year.
