In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that South Korea’s Jeju Island is making bold investments in green hydrogen with the country’s first commercial green hydrogen refueling station and hydrogen production facility. The local government aims to scale production capacity to 30 MW within five years. Future plans include converting excess electricity from wind and solar into hydrogen, maximizing the island’s natural resources and boosting renewable energy efficiency, according to the report. Jeju has made significant progress in its energy transition, with renewables now accounting for roughly 20% of the island’s electricity, more than any other region in South Korea, the report added. To promote hydrogen-powered transportation, Jeju offers subsidies covering up to 50% of the cost of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
