Ulsan Green Hydrogen Town

The Ulsan Green Hydrogen Town (Korean: 울산 수소시범도시) is a hydrogen city being developed as a pilot project in Ulsan, South Korea. As of October 2024, 188km of underground pipelines have been laid to connect hydrogen produced as a byproduct from petrochemical complexes to the city center.

Ulsan is the city that built the Maeam Charging Station, the first automobile hydrogen charging station in South Korea in 2009. In addition, the first hydrogen ship charging station in the country was installed in Jangsaengpo Port in 2021. In December 2016, 10 Hyundai ix35 FCEVs, the first hydrogen fuel cell taxis in the country, entered test operation.

In 2018, Ulsan city invested a total of KR₩ 250 billion to establish the city as a global hydrogen-based energy hub city. With a goal of construction in 2019, KRW 27.2 billion was invested to build an eco-friendly battery fusion demonstration complex with a full-cycle production system related to the hydrogen industry, from hydrogen production and supply to fuel cell demonstration, R&D, and commercialization, on a 4,800 m2 site near Ulsan Techno Park. In addition, a plan was prepared to build a logistics system to distribute byproduct hydrogen produced in the Ulsan Industrial Complex nationwide.
