[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City in Jeollanam-do announced on the 19th that a complex liquefied hydrogen refueling station capable of refueling passenger cars and buses will be established in Gagok-dong.

This year, Haero Hydrogen Co., Ltd. was selected for the Ministry of Environment's 'Private Capital Subsidy Project for Hydrogen Refueling Station Installation,' and with a total project cost of 7.5 billion KRW including 4.2 billion KRW in national funds and 3.3 billion KRW in private funds, the hydrogen refueling station will be built on the site of the LPG refueling station in Gagok-dong, aiming for completion by November next year.

The refueling capacity is 120 kg per hour, allowing refueling of more than 24 passenger cars and more than 6 buses per hour.

Suncheon City started distributing 10 hydrogen passenger cars last year and has been supporting 34.5 million KRW per vehicle since February this year, aiming to distribute 50 vehicles.

From next year, when the hydrogen refueling station is completed, the city plans to increase the number of supported hydrogen passenger cars and also promote the distribution of hydrogen buses.

A Suncheon City official said, "The establishment of the hydrogen refueling station has provided an opportunity to take a step forward toward a hydrogen economy-activated society," and added, "We ask for the citizens' great interest and participation in purchasing hydrogen vehicles, which are eco-friendly vehicles."
