Hydrogen fuel cells: The only distributed power source capable of meeting rising electricity demand.
Sessions by six organizations and companies, including the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the Rural Development Administration, and Doosan Fuel Cell

The Industrial Education Research Institute will host a seminar on hydrogen fuel cell components and materials, where participants will be able to learn about the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's hydrogen fuel cell development policy and the current status of business development at companies such as Doosan Fuel Cell Power.

The Industrial Education Research Institute announced on the 8th that it will hold a seminar titled “Hydrogen Fuel Cell-Component Material Technology Development: Current Status, Future Direction, and Business Model” both online and offline on June 23rd.

As electricity demand continues to increase in the future and demand for electricity in large cities and metropolitan areas surges, it will be difficult to respond solely with a centralized power system. Therefore, the role of hydrogen fuel cells, the only distributed power source capable of meeting the growing demand for electricity in urban areas, will grow. Therefore, this seminar holds great significance.

Speakers at this seminar include the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, Korea Institute of Energy Research, Rural Development Administration, Doosan Fuel Cell Power, Bumhan Fuel Cell, and Korea Institute of Science and Technology.

△Choi Hyun-sang, an official at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, will present on hydrogen fuel cell development policies, promotion of distribution, and export support measures; △Dr. Song Rak-hyeon of the High-Temperature Energy Conversion Laboratory at the Korea Institute of Energy Research will present on the development strategy for high-temperature hydrogen fuel cell core components and materials; and △Kang Seok-won, a team leader at the Advanced Agricultural Materials Development Team at the Rural Development Administration, will present on the current status of research and development on the application of hydrogen fuel cells to smart agriculture and its expected effects.

In addition, △Park Jeong-geon, Team Leader of Doosan Fuel Cell Power, and Hwang Jeong-tae, Vice President of Beomhan Fuel Cell, will provide information on the progress and development plans of each company's hydrogen fuel cell business.You can hear about incense, and there is also a session prepared by Dr. Yoo Seong-jong of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology on the current and future prospects of hydrogen fuel cell catalyst and electrode technology development.

An official from the Industrial Education Research Institute said, “Hydrogen fuel cells require continuous technological development efforts to increase practical overall efficiency and supply heat of the quality desired by the demanders.” He added, “Through this seminar, we hope to have a valuable time to shed light on the current status of domestic and international research and technology development of hydrogen fuel cells and components, materials, and systems, as well as the current state of the related industry, and to present future market outlook, research and technology development directions of participating companies, and business strategies.”
