KOGAS
Laying the Foundation for More Eco-friendly Future Mobility
KOGAS is distributing eco-friendly hydrogen vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and expanding charging stations to enhance consumer convenience.

Construction of hydrogen charging stations goal [by 2022]
KOGAS aims to build an eco-friendly transport system by establishing 100 hydrogen charging stations by 2022.
We are running two direct-managed charging stations: one in Gimhae (July 2021), and another in Daegu (May 2022). We then plan to build a further 60 HyNet and multi-fuel charging stations, and 90 liquid hydrogen charging stations.
- The Gimhae Charging Station is a production-type charging station that can produce hydrogen on its own, so it has the advantage of saving transportation costs compared with other charging stations.
- KOGAS plans to build not only hydrogen charging stations, but also multi-fuel charging stations that can supply various vehicle fuels such as hydrogen, LNG, CNG, and electricity. Multi-fuel stations can supply fuel to LNG and CNG vehicles, supply hydrogen to hydrogen vehicles by converting LNG into hydrogen, and provide electrical charging outlets for electric vehicles.
| Classification | Gimhae Production-type Hydrogen Charging Station | KOGAS-managed Hydrogen Charging Station |
|---|---|---|
| Charging/ Storage Capacity |
50 kg/h * Up to 10 cars can be filled per hour based on Nexo hydrogen car |
|
| Method |
On-site Producing hydrogen on-site and supplying it to charging stations |
Off-site Supplying hydrogen from outside |
| Construction Target | Started commercial operation in July, 2021 | Started commercial operation in May, 2022 |

Construction of Multi-Fuel Charging Station for Commercial Vehicles
The government’s goal of supplying medium and large hydrogen vehicles including buses is only 10,000 units (4.7%) by 2030 and 30,000 units (14.3%) by 2040. In addition, establishment of charging stations for commercial vehicles is currently sluggish. KOGAS therefore intends to create conditions for the supply of eco-friendly commercial vehicles by leading the construction of convergence and hybrid charging stations that can combine various types of vehicle charging and energy production.
Multi-Fuel Charging Station Construction Target
* Uiwang ICD, Pohang, Busan New Port, Incheon Port, Gwangyang, etc.
- Building 30 multi-fuel charging stations for commercial vehicles by 2030
- Building hydrogen or LNG charging stations in consideration of local conditions, and step-by-step conversion to LNG and hydrogen complex charging station in consideration of demand
| Classification | Charging Fuel | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 계 |
