The Korean government is actively promoting the hydrogen industry as a key driver of economic growth. This commitment is evident in the 2019 hydrogen economy activation roadmap and the 2021 basic plan for hydrogen economy implementation. This study quantitatively analyzes the economic impact of the hydrogen economy using input-output analysis based on the Bank of Korea's 2019 input-output table, projecting its size by 2050. Four parts dealt with production-inducing, value-added creation, employment-inducing, and wage-inducing based on a demand-driven model. The results reveal that transportation had the most remarkable economic effect throughout the hydrogen economy, and production was the least. The hydrogen economy is projected to reach 71.2 trillion won by 2050.

This study focuses on investigating the importance of managing greenhouse gas emissions from global energy consumption, specifically examining domestic targets for clean hydrogen production. Using life cycle assessment, we evaluated reductions in global warming potential and assessed the carbon neutrality contribution of the domestic hydrogen sector. Transitioning from brown or grey hydrogen to blue or green hydrogen can significantly reduce emissions, potentially lowering CO₂ equivalent levels by 2030 and 2050. These research findings underscore the effectiveness of clean hydrogen as an energy management strategy and offer valuable insights for technology development.

At present, hydrogen is emerging as a future energy source based on environment-friendly aspect, creation of new industry, and enhancement of domestic energy security. In accordance with it, the world's leading automobile companies are focusing on the development and commercialization of hydrogen electric vehicle technology, and each country is strengthening its hydrogen fueling station deployment strategy for its own country. Furthermore, the supply of hydrogen fueling stations is actively promoting under national support. More than 500 hydrogen fueling stations are being constructed, operated and planned around the world. The introduction of hydrogen energy is also progressing in Korea, by announcing road-map to supply hydrogen electric vehicles and hydrogen fueling stations by year. However, there is insufficient discussion on the capacity of hydrogen fueling station in Korea. Therefore, this study suggests the optimum capacity of hydrogen fuelling station for domestic hydrogen economy.

Adsorption isotherms of hydrogen by step-by-step method are widely used. However, the relations between the equations of state and the accumulated errors produced by step-by-step method and the mechanical errors of pressure or temperature controller were not analyzed. Considering the influence of various errors on the equations of state, we could find out the factors and compare the performance of the equations of state.

Hydrogen is considered a key energy source to achieve carbon neutrality through the global goal of 'Net Zero'. Due to limitations in domestic green hydrogen production, Korean companies are interested in importing green hydrogen produced overseas. Because Australia and the Middle East possess high-quality renewable energy resources, they are attracting attention as suitable regions for producing green hydrogen using renewable energy. The cost of constructing and operating a green ammonia plant varies depending on the region. In this study, an economic feasibility comparison of green ammonia plant construction in Australia and the Middle East is conducted. Through this, it is expected to contribute to the economic analysis and feasibility analysis of the project to import hydrogen in the form of green ammonia into Korea.

The two-step thermochemical cycle was examined on the $CeO_2$, YSZ, and $ZrO_2$-supported $NiFe_2O_4$ to investigate the effects of support material addition. The supported $NiFe_2O_4$ was prepared by the aerial oxidation method. Thermal reduction was conducted at 1573K and 1523K while water-splitting was carried out at 1073K. Supporting $NiFe_2O_4$ on $CeO_2$, YSZ and $ZrO_2$ alleviated the high-temperature sintering of iron-oxide. As a result, the supported $NiFe_2O_4$ exhibited greater reactivity and repeatability in the water-splitting cycle as compared to the unsupported $NiFe_2O_4$. Especially, $ZrO_2$-supported $NiFe_2O_4$ showed better sintering inhibition effect than other supporting materials, but hydrogen production amount was decreased as cycle repeated. In case of $CeO_2$-supported $NiFe_2O_4$, improvement of hydrogen production was found when the thermal reduction was conducted at 1573K. It was deduced that redox reaction of $CeO_2$ activated above 1573K.

Numerical simulation of the natural gas steam reforming process for on-site hydrogen production in a $H_2$ fueling station was conducted on the basis of process material and heat balances. The effects of reforming parameters on the process efficiency of hydrogen production were investigated, and set-point values of each of the parameters to minimize the sizes of unit process equipments and to secure a stable operability of the reforming process were suggested. S/C ratio of the reforming reactants was found to be a crucial parameter in the reforming process mostly governing both the hydrogen production efficiency and the stable operability of the process. The operation of the process was regarded to be stable if the feed water(WR) as a reforming reactant could evaporate completely to dry steam through HRSG. The optimum S/C ratio was 3.0 where the process efficiency of hydrogen production was maximized and the stable operability of the process was secured. The optimum feed rates of natural gas(NGR) and WR as reforming reactants and natural gas(NGB) as a burner fuel were also determined for the hydrogen production rate of $27\;Nm^3/h$.

After reviewing the current status of hydrogen buses and hydrogen charging stations in the United States, as well as related laws and programs, it was found that the federal and state governments supported the supports of hydrogen buses and the deployment of hydrogen charging infrastructure through various policies and programs. In order to promote the spread of domestic and overseas hydrogen buses and hydrogen charging infrastructure, it is necessary to develop and apply various legal systems and programs that can provide incentives to hydrogen bus manufacturers, hydrogen charging station installers, hydrogen bus operating organizations and entities.

수소에너지는 비고갈성 청정에너지로 향후 탄소기반의 에너지 시스템을 대체할 에너지로 주목받고 있다. 정부의 장기적인 비전도 수소에너지의 최종에너지 수요 비중을 2040년까지 15%로 확대한다는 것이나 이를 달성하기 위해서는 200조 원이 넘는 엄청난 비용이 수반된다. 본 연구는 동태 CGE 모형을 적용하여 수소에너지 보급에 따라 한국경제에 어떤 영향을 미칠 것인지를 분석하였다. 프런티어 기술로서 수소에너지는 학습효과와 에너지원간 상보성(complementarity)의 영향으로 정부지원 없이는 2040년 기준으로 최종에너지 수요의 6.5%에 그칠 전망이나 정부가 수소에너지에 대해 각각 10%, 20%, 30%의 가격보조 정책을 실시할 경우 9.2%, 15.2%, 37.7%로 증가할 것으로 분석되었다. 즉, 정부개업을 통해 수소기술 확산 지연 현상이 크게 완화될 수 있음을 보여주는 것이다. 한편 수소기술의 주요 응용분야인 수송부문의 성장이 두드러지나 수송 연료의 대부분을 차지하는 석유가 수소에너지로 대체됨으로써 석유부문에 대한 소비가 감소하고, 발전부문의 비중도 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 정부의 가격보조가 가계소득에서 충당되는 것으로 가정했기 때문에 가격하락에 의한 소비증가효과가 소득감소에 따른 소비감소에 의해 상쇄되면서 가계의 최종소비도 부정적 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 전반적인 생산, 투자, 수출 증가에 힘입어 GDP 수준은 소폭 성장하다가 2040년 무렵에 소폭 감소하여 경제 전반에 미치는 영향은 미미할 것으로 분석되었다.
