  • The Hydrogen Economy South Korea Market Intelligence Report January 2021 Forewords
    The Hydrogen Economy South Korea Market Intelligence Report January 2021 Forewords South Korea is setting out its stall to be a global leader in the development of a hydrogen-based economy. The Korean government has committed to net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and in July 2020, announced its Green New Deal, committing to £13bn fiscal investment by 2025 in green mobility. One of the key elements of that push is the development of hydrogen vehicles; South Korea hopes to produce 500,000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles for export and domestic consumption by 2030. As this report outlines, the hydrogen market in South Korea will almost double in size from £9.1bn in 2020 to £17.3bn by 2030, with the growth driven largely by investment from large local players such as Hyundai and Doosan. The UK is expected to announce its own Hydrogen Strategy in early 2021. But there is already a growing awareness in South Korea that the UK is a world leader in the fields of basic science, advanced materials and fuel cells. This offers huge opportunities for UK fuel cell and hydrogen companies with both public and private sectors investing heavily in the nascent hydrogen economy. We hope that this report, produced in partnership with Intralink, helps set out in more detail where these opportunities lie and the DIT team in Seoul stand ready to support UK companies looking to enter the South Korean hydrogen market. Mike Mike Welch Director Trade and Investment DIT Seoul, British Embassy Seoul I wish to offer my sincere congratulations to the British Embassy Seoul on the release of the market report “The Hydrogen Economy South Korea” this year.
