The transition from a carbon economy based on fossil fuels to a hydrogen economy is necessary to ensure energy security and to combat climate change. In order to pursue the transition to a hydrogen economy while achieving sustainable economic growth, a preliminary study into the establishment of the necessary infrastructure for the future hydrogen economy needs to be carried out. This study addresses the economic and environmental interactions in a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model focusing on the economic effects of the introduction of renewable energy into the Korean energy system. Firstly, the introduction of hydrogen results in an increase in the investment in hydrogen production and the reduction of the production cost, ultimately leading to GDP growth. Secondly, the mandatory introduction of renewable energy and associated government subsidies bring about a reduction in total demand. Additionally, the mandatory introduction of hydrogen energy into the power sector helps to reduce CO2 emissions through the transition from a carbon economy-based on fossil energy to a hydrogen economy. This means that hydrogen energy needs to come from non-fossil fuel sources in order for greenhouse gases to be effectively reduced. Therefore, it seems necessary for policy support to be strengthened substantially and for additional studies to be conducted into the production of hydrogen energy from renewable sources.

Hydrogen energy is emerging as an important means of carbon neutrality in the various sectors including power, transportation, storage, and industrial processes. Fuel cell power plants are the fastest spreading in the hydrogen ecosystem and are one of the key power sources among means of implementing carbon neutrality in 2050. However, high volatility in system marginal price (SMP) and renewable energy certificate (REC) prices, which affect the profits of fuel cell power plants, delay the investment timing and deployment. This study applied the real option methodology to analyze how the dual uncertainties in both SMP and REC prices affect the investment trigger price level in the irreversible investment decision of fuel cell power plants. The analysis is summarized into the following three. First, under the current Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), dual price uncertainties passed on to plant owners has significantly increased the investment trigger price relative to one under the deterministic price case. Second, reducing the volatility of REC price by half of the current level caused a significant drop in investment trigger prices and its investment trigger price is similar to one caused by offering one additional REC multiplier. Third, investment trigger price based on gray hydrogen and green hydrogen were analyzed along with the existing byproduct hydrogen-based fuel cells, and in the case of gray hydrogen, economic feasibility were narrowed significantly with green hydrogen when carbon costs were applied. The results of this study suggest that the current RPS system works as an obstacle to the deployment of fuel cell power plants, and policy that provides more stable revenue to plants is needed to build a more cost-effective and stable hydrogen ecosystem.

The feasibility of not employing recombiners rather using the postaccident Purge system alone to control hydrogen concentration in the containment following a LOCA, is analyzed in this paper. For this study, the hydrogen concentration in the containment, hydrogen removal through the purge system, and additional off-site dose due to hydrogen purge were calculated. The economic justification of a hydrogen recombiner system (2 recombiners) was also investigated by using the cost benefit concept. As a result, the purge system is sufficient to maintain the hydrogen concentration at a safe level without hydrogen recombiners, and it meets the dose limit requirements set forth in 10 CFR part 100. A hydrogen recombiner system would be justified based on cost-benefit concept for common use in a site with 4 units or more.

2019년 정부의 '수소경제 활성화 로드맵' 발표 후 수소연료전지 보급에 추진 동력원이 되었고, 2020년 2월 '수소경제 육성 및 수소안전관리에 관한 법률'이 세계 최초로 제정되면서 수소연료전지의 안정적인 보급 확산을 견인하고 있다. 수소안전관리에 의한 법률에 의해 수소용품 4종 및 수소사용시설 1종에 대한 KGS Code 3종(수소추출설비, 고정형 연료전지, 수소연료사용시설)이 2021년 7월 제정되었고, 8월 2종(수전해설비, 지게차용 이동형 연료전지)이 추가 제정되어 2022년 2월부터 수소용품 및 시설에 대한 안전관리가 시작된다. 연료전지의 안정적인 보급을 위해서는 국내에 적합한 안전기준 개발이 필수적이다. 또한 신규 출현되는 제품 및 시설의 개발·보급 시기에 맞추어 안전 기준 개발이 병행되어야 할 것이다. 본고에서는 고정형 및 이동형 연료전지의 국내외 안전기준 분석 및 위험요소 분석 등을 통한 연료전지 안전기준 개발 현황을 소개하고자 한다.

수소저장기술은 수소경제를 달성하기 위해 개발해야할 핵실요소기술이다. 이 논문에서는 고체수소저장기술의 최신 개발 동향을 고찰하였다. 나노구조 탄소계 물질(nanostructured carbon materials), 유기금속구조물(metal organic framework, MOFs), 금속수소화물(metal hydrides), 클래스레이트수화물(clathrate hydrates), 금속착수소화물(complex chemical hydrides)과 같은 고체수소저장매체를 중점적으로 고찰하였다. 그 결과 지금까지 개발된 고체수소저장재료의 수소저장용량은 고체의 표면적에 비례하여 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 탄소나노튜브의 수소저장 메커니즘을 연구하여 탄소나노튜브의 표면적이 수소저장량을 증가시키는데 중요한 인자로 작용함을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, the techno-economic analysis of glycerol steam reforming for $H_2$ production capacity of $300m^3\;h^{-1}$ was carried out. The process of glycerol steam reforming was constructed by using Aspen $HYSYS^{(R)}$, a commercial process simulator, and parametric studies for the effect of the operating temperature on $H_2$ production was performed. Moreover, the economic analysis was conducted through an itemized cost estimation, sensitivity analysis (SA) and cash flow diagram (CFD), and the unit $H_2$ production cost was 5.10 $ ${kgH_2}^{-1}$ through the itemized cost estimation of glycerol steam reforming for $H_2$ production capacity of $300m^3\;h^{-1}$. SA was employed to identify key economic factors and various economic indicators such as net present value (NPV), discounted payback period (DPBP), and present value ratio (PVR) were found according to $H_2$ selling price using CFD.

현재 자동차의 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 가장 착실한 엔진은 수소를 이용한 연료 전지라고 판단된다. 연료전지는 화학적 에너지를 전기적 에너지로 직접 변환하는 장치이다. 순수한 연료전지 차량과 연료전지 하이브리드 차량을 비교 분석하였다. 연료전지 하이브리드 차량에서 고려하여야할 점은 효율, 연료경제성, 출력 특성 등이 있다. FUDS 싸이클 시뮬레이션 비교를 하면 하이브리드화가 순수 연료전지 차량 보다 효율이 높다. 이는 회생 제동 에너지를 이용할 수 있으며 battery를 이용하여 연료전지를 효율적인 영역에서 작동하게 할 수 있기 때문이다. Life cycle 비용은 연료전지의 크기, 연료전지의 가격, 수소의 가격 등에 지배적인 영향을 받는다. 연료전지의 가격이 고가이면 하이브리드화가 유리하나, 연료전지의 가격이 400$/kW 이하가 되면 순수한 연료전지 자동차가 비용면에서 유리 하다.

The hydrogen economy is still a niche market and a new system. If we believe in the optimism and the hope of human history of technological progress, the hydrogen economy will be a new paradigm to replace the carbon economy. The research question is what kind of leadership the government should show in order to revitalize the hydrogen economy. In response to the research question, this study highlights the governance leadership. The new economy must be newly recognized before they can find a solution. This research can be the first step in finding the way.

This study evaluated the effect of improving the atmospheric environment based on the premise that the supply of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCV) will be achieved as many as the number of vehicles presented in the hydrogen economy activation roadmap announced by the Korean government in January 2019. The HFCV supply target (2.7 million passenger cars) suggested in the hydrogen economy revitalization roadmap was logically allocated to the five major metropolitan areas in Korea. Air pollution damage costs by region were calculated by reflecting the basic unit of damage cost to the estimated air pollutant emissions. As a result, it was confirmed that the benefits per unit of some cities in Gyeonggi-do were derived more than major cities in the metropolitan area.
