Japan-Korea strengthens cooperation on clean hydrogen...Ministerial-level meeting between industry ministries held = South Korean report

The Korean government will seek to strengthen cooperation with Japan in the clean hydrogen sector. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy held a meeting in Japan on the 15th with Park Chang-ki, Director of the Hydrogen Economy Policy Bureau, Ministry of Industry.
Hiroo Inoue, Director of Energy Conservation and New Energy, Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, held a Japan-Korea ministerial hydrogen cooperation meeting.
It was announced that the two countries had discussed cooperation measures. This is a working-level discussion between the leaders of the two countries to develop cooperation in the field of clean energy. Yoon Seo-gyul (Yun Seok-yue)
The President and Prime Minister Kishida held a Japan-Korea summit roundtable at Stanford University in the United States in November last year, starting with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, where both countries discussed the use of clean hydrogen and other technologies.
We have discussed the need to cooperate in the areas of carbon reduction and clean energy. The world is moving toward carbon neutrality in response to climate change including global warming.
This is the situation. Furthermore, although clean hydrogen is still at a pre-commercial stage, it is attracting attention as an energy source that will revolutionize the current fossil fuel-based energy use.
At this day's meeting, Japan and South Korea emphasized the importance of clean hydrogen to achieve national greenhouse gas reduction goals, and the potential for future cooperation as countries that demand and import clean hydrogen.
I reconfirmed the fact that it has great power. Furthermore, based on the common interests of Japan and South Korea, we will cooperate in building a global hydrogen supply network, creating new fields of hydrogen utilization, and international standards and policies for clean hydrogen.
I decided. Both Japan and South Korea are likely to need large amounts of hydrogen in the future for purposes such as electricity production and the widespread use of fuel for hydrogen electric vehicles, but renewable energy is necessary for domestic clean hydrogen production.
It is highly likely that the country will not be able to secure enough electricity to generate electricity, and will have to rely on imports for a considerable amount of it. Producing clean hydrogen using renewable energy generation in Australia and the Middle East
Discussions are currently underway on how to import clean hydrogen, and synergies are expected when the two countries cooperate as demand-demanding countries for clean hydrogen. Officials from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said, ``Global hydrogen demand is expanding and Northeast Asia is expanding.
In order to lead the clean hydrogen market centered on the clean hydrogen market, we have decided to regularize discussions on cooperation in the hydrogen field between Japan and South Korea, exchange opinions on various issues and cooperate closely."
