Pyeongtaek, a city in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, is making significant strides in the country's hydrogen economy. The city has unveiled plans to become a national leader in clean energy innovation by focusing on hydrogen production and infrastructure development. Operating the largest natural gas-based hydrogen production facility in South Korea, Pyeongtaek is set to further expand its capacity with a second plant scheduled for completion by 2026. Pyeongtaek's strategic roadmap includes creating a model hydrogen city by 2028, attracting global investments from industry giants like Linde and Air Products, and transforming its port into a carbon-neutral hydrogen hub. The city's initiative also extends to addressing renewable energy source shortages by exploring green hydrogen imports and investing in a clean hydrogen demonstration center. Additionally, Pyeongtaek has established the Korea Institute for Clean Hydrogen Advancement (KICHA) to serve as a national hub for hydrogen research and talent development. Mayor Jung Jang-seon emphasized the importance of hydrogen as a critical component for survival and competitiveness in the global economy's shift towards decarbonization, highlighting the urgency to take action against climate change.
