The South Korean government hope this will accelerate the production of domestic hydrogen which can, int urn, be utilised in hard-to-abate industries for decarbonisation purposes and transportation.

This could enhance the hydrogen ecosystem in the nation and support targets that aim to make the region carbon neutral in the future.
