The Gyeonggi Provincial Government in South Korea announced an expansion of its 'Mini Hydrogen City Creation Project' by recruiting additional cities and counties to participate in creating a self-sufficient city powered by eco-friendly hydrogen energy. This project is part of the province's commitment to 'Creating a Hydrogen Convergence Cluster.' The selected city will receive funding from the province, totaling less than 50% of the project cost over three years.
