Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group to build LH2 fueling
As of November 2023, South Korea had 160 hydrogen refuelling stations nationwide, with a goal to expand this network to 660 stations by 2030.
South Korea's government is reportedly targeting at least 450 hydrogen refuelling stations by 2025, and at least 660 by 2030, and recently unveiled a new national target for 21,200 buses on the road by 2030.
Private buyers can be encouraged through financial incentives. To promote hydrogen-powered vehicles, it plans to build 450 hydrogen refueling stations by 2025. Fuel cell vehicles will be able to reach the nearest hydrogen refueling station within half an hour. The initial target would be Seoul and metropolitan areas.
In the USA, nine new stations were opened, but twelve were closed, bringing the total to 89. By far the largest number, 74, were in California. The first hydrogen refuelling stations have been opened in the capitals of Bulgaria and Slovakia. New to the list of countries with operational hydrogen refuelling stations is New Zealand.
South Korea's roadmap calls for expanding the number of refueling stations from the current 34 to 310 by 2022 and to 1,200 by 2040 (Kang 2020a). South Korea plans to provide subsidies and reduce regulations to encourage the construction of new filling stations to facilitate this expansion.
