National expenses 147Secure XNUMX million won, 총 295Investing hundreds of millions of won 2028year completed Following the hydrogen pilot city development project, the first consecutive public offering selection in the country
Following the successful completion of the first hydrogen pilot city development project in Korea, Ulsan City was also selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport's 'Hydrogen City Development Project' public offering, further solidifying its position as a leading hydrogen city.
In particular, Ulsan City is the first city in the country to be simultaneously selected for the hydrogen city development project competition following the hydrogen pilot city development project hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport.
The hydrogen city development project is a project that aims to expand hydrogen infrastructure (infrastructure) at the city level and utilize hydrogen in real life as part of efforts to activate the hydrogen economy and achieve carbon neutrality.
Ulsan City plans to invest a total of KRW 147 billion, including KRW 5,000 billion in national funds, over four years through this public offering selection to create an Ulsan-style hydrogen city differentiated from other cities in the Buk-gu and Ulsan Mipo National Industrial Complex areas.
The Ulsan-type hydrogen city development project is being promoted as an expansion project linked to the hydrogen pilot city development project.
The Buk-gu area will be expanded to reflect local conditions for future hydrogen mobility, while the Ulsan Mipo National Industrial Complex area will be expanded to reflect industrial demand.
The main business is
First, ▲build a hydrogen pipeline network to supply hydrogen.
A hydrogen pipeline network will be built for a total of 6.7 km, including a 5 km stretch from Hyomun Intersection to the hydrogen charging station and a 5.2 km stretch from the main gate of Hyundai Motor Company Plant 11.9 to the Ulsan Mipo National Industrial Complex (HD Hyundai Heavy Industries), to achieve carbon neutrality and strengthen the competitiveness of local companies.
▲We are also promoting direct supply of hydrogen to hydrogen charging stations.
We plan to proactively respond to stable and uninterrupted large-scale hydrogen charging by supplying hydrogen through pipelines to three hydrogen charging stations, including Hydrogen Tram Line 2, Gyeong Hydrogen Charging Station, and Gyeongdong Hydrogen Charging Station.
In addition, ▲ we are also promoting a regional specialized project to demonstrate the innovative technology of the first hydrogen tractor in Korea.
Hyundai Motor Company and Korea will develop the first operational hydrogen tractor and operate three units on a long-distance cargo logistics route between Ulsan and Seoul/Incheon through regulatory exemption (sandbox).
In particular, the plan is to develop core technologies domestically and encourage conversion of imported diesel-based large cargo vehicles to domestic eco-friendly vehicles, thereby advancing the domestic eco-friendly vehicle industry in the logistics sector.
Lastly, ▲we are moving forward with the advancement of a customized integrated safety and operation system.
In order to manage a safe hydrogen infrastructure to take the lead in the global hydrogen market, a real-time monitoring system that can verify the safety of ‘hydrogen production-transport-utilization’ will be established within the Yuldong District Hydrogen Integrated Safety Management Center.
Through this, we will promote the status and safety of hydrogen use within the city to citizens.
Ulsan City plans to complete the comprehensive plan and detailed facility plan for the hydrogen city development project by October next year and finish the project by 2028 to further solidify its position as a leading hydrogen city.
Ulsan Mayor Kim Doo-kyum said, “Ulsan City declared the ‘World’s Best Hydrogen City 2019’ ideal (vision) in 2030 and has been promoting various policies and projects to date,” and added, “Based on the achievements so far, starting next year, we will do our best to create an Ulsan-style hydrogen city to vitalize the economy by creating jobs, reducing energy costs, and accelerating the transition to a carbon-neutral society.”
Meanwhile, Ulsan City was selected for the MOLIT-hosted public offering project in 2019 and successfully completed the hydrogen pilot city development project in June of this year.
A hydrogen pipeline (188 km) built around the industrial complex was connected to the Yuldong Combined Heat and Power Plant (10.5 km) in Yangjeong-dong, Buk-gu via Taehwagang Station.
Electricity produced from hydrogen at the Yuldong Combined Heat and Power Plant is sold to KEPCO, and the heat is supplied as hot water and heating to 437 households in Yuldong District apartment complexes, creating the 'world's first carbon-neutral hydrogen apartment.'
In addition, the hydrogen pilot city development project was completed by connecting hydrogen pipelines to hydrogen bus and hydrogen tram charging stations centered around Taehwagang Station and establishing an eco-friendly hydrogen city transportation system infrastructure. End.
