Jeju's Green Hydrogen Initiative: Leading the Energy Transition for a Sustainable Future
Key Ideas
  • Jeju aims to become a green hydrogen supply base, catering to the decarbonization needs of heavy industries like steel by leveraging its advanced green hydrogen production capabilities.
  • The island is striving to achieve 'net zero' by 2035, setting a bold goal to achieve zero carbon emissions 15 years ahead of the national target, through the utilization of green hydrogen and renewable energy.
  • Governor Oh Young-hoon highlighted the success of the green hydrogen project in Jeju, with initiatives including operating green hydrogen buses and hydrogen cleaning vehicles, aiming to expand to 300 buses and 200 vehicles, respectively, by 2030.
  • Jeju plans to extend the application of green hydrogen from mobility to everyday life, including in agriculture for producing RE100 tangerines and eggs, as well as in public housing complexes to establish Green Energy Cities.
In a joint press conference held by Kim Sang-hyup, Chairman of Tanjung Committee, and Oh Young-hoon, Governor of Jeju, the focus was on Jeju's leading role in the production and supply of green hydrogen to support the decarbonization efforts of heavy industries like steel. The island's commitment to renewables is evident through its aim to achieve 'net zero' by 2035, well ahead of the national target. With an emphasis on utilizing green hydrogen and renewable energy, Jeju plans to achieve zero carbon emissions in a sustainable manner. Governor Oh highlighted the success of various green hydrogen initiatives in Jeju, such as the operation of green hydrogen buses and cleaning vehicles, with ambitious plans to expand these fleets by 2030. Moreover, the island is looking beyond mobility to integrate green hydrogen into everyday life, including agriculture for producing RE100 tangerines and eggs, and in public housing complexes to establish Green Energy Cities. This holistic approach showcases Jeju's commitment to sustainability and its pivotal role in the energy transition towards a greener future.
