Additionally, the council will participate in the 2023 Pohang International Hydrogen Fuel Cell Forum scheduled for October, operating a Pohang City promotional booth to inform attending companies and research institutions about Pohang’s hydrogen projects.
Furthermore, through site visits to facilities such as the hydrogen fuel cell certification center, ammonia demonstration facility, and fuel cell power plants, the council aims to contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of the hydrogen industry, while participating in various forums to propose development directions for Pohang City's hydrogen industry.
Mayor Lee Kang-deok stated, “Through active communication and discussion for the development of the hydrogen industry, we will take the lead in advancing the government’s aggressively promoted hydrogen economy policies.” He added, “We will mobilize all our capabilities to sophisticate the hydrogen energy industry ecosystem and grow Pohang City into a global eco-friendly hydrogen economy hub.”
