The institute is a non-profit foundation established in December last year with approval from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, and is responsible for the construction and operation of the 'Clean Hydrogen Demonstration Support Center.' The 'Clean Hydrogen Demonstration Support Center' is a facility created to support hydrogen-related research and development and workforce training, scheduled to be built in 2026 in the Brain City general industrial complex in Pyeongtaek. A total of 48 billion KRW, including 30 billion KRW in national funding, will be invested in the center's construction.

Using the center, the institute will carry out various tasks such as research and development to enhance the competitiveness of the domestic hydrogen industry, training specialized personnel, supporting companies in achieving RE100 and global expansion. Acting as the command tower of the hydrogen convergence cluster to be established in Pyeongtaek, it will build an eco-friendly industrial ecosystem and conduct activities to attract clean hydrogen-related companies.

Jung Jang-seon, mayor of Pyeongtaek, said, "We will closely cooperate with Gyeonggi-do, the government, research institutions, and companies to spare no support for creating a clean hydrogen industrial ecosystem and realizing RE100."
