Chungju City has been selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Hydrogen Pipeline Domestication and Demonstration Technology Development Testbed project, solidifying its status as a green hydrogen hub. The government will invest KRW 5.2 billion to verify the performance of domestically produced hydrogen pipeline products and construct a 2 km hydrogen pipeline network.
This initiative leverages the city's hydrogen demonstration experience and allows direct supply of hydrogen from biogas and ammonia, offering greater stability and large-scale supply compared to conventional methods. The city has established a foundation for hydrogen production through a bio-green hydrogen charging station, regulatory-free zone designation, and facility expansions. Plans include performance verification of hydrogen piping products and full-scale demonstrations scheduled for the second half of 2027.
