- Korea plans to increase hydrogen production from about 450,000 tonnes/year in 2021, to 1.9 million tonnes/year by 2030 (Source: Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, Korea).
- Australia is one of the most viable suppliers of liquid hydrogen and ammonia. This is thanks to our energy export infrastructure and potential for large scale hydrogen production projects.
- Australia will attract investment from Korea’s energy sector who need to secure clean hydrogen This is in part due to the high cost and limited opportunities for large scale renewable energy in Korea.
- Hydrogen pilot cities Ulsan, Ansan and Wanju are using hydrogen gas to fuel major urban functions. Examples include cooling, heating, electricity, and transportation.
