Chungju City has been awarded KRW 5.2 billion by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport for a Hydrogen Pipeline Domestication and Demonstration Technology Development Testbed project, enhancing its role as a green hydrogen hub. The funding will support the construction of a 2 km hydrogen pipeline network and the verification of domestically produced hydrogen pipeline products, with full-scale demonstrations planned for the second half of 2027. This initiative aims to provide a stable and large-scale hydrogen supply from biogas and ammonia, building on the city's existing hydrogen production infrastructure.
