Hydrogen Energy R&D Program

Hydrogen Energy R&D

Supports Korean hydrogen energy research spanning production, storage, and infrastructure innovation for cleaner systems.

Between cyclesKorea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and PlanningSouth Korea

The Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning (KETEP) issues annual competitive R&D grants for hydrogen energy technology under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE). KETEP, established in 2009 and managing approximately USD $826 million in energy R&D in 2025, treats hydrogen as one of its six core program areas. The Hydrogen Energy R&D program covers the full value…

Full-cycle hydrogen energy R&D in South Korea covering production via electrolysis and NG/ammonia extraction, storage and transport infrastructure, fuel-cell utilisation, and IoT-integrated ecosystem safety.
