[Kukto Ilbo Correspondent Ha Jong-sook] K-pop Motors (CEO Hwang Yo-seop) is starting to innovate the paradigm of hydrogen-fueled electric vehicles with zero-emission hydrogen power generation.

K-Pop Motors announced on the 27th that it would start a hydrogen power generation system business using polymer composite materials at Conrad Hotel in Yeouido in collaboration with Ecole Green Tech, a polymer composite material company, Sunrise Group, a company specializing in green hydrogen power generation systems, and K-Pop Energy, a subsidiary.

In addition, an SPC called ‘K-Pop Motors Tech’ was established to develop and revitalize electric vehicle charging and hydrogen-fired power generation systems ranging from 50Kw to 24,000Kw.

Currently, in the case of ‘N vehicle,’ a domestic hydrogen electric vehicle, the distance traveled with 1 kg of hydrogen is approximately 96.2 km. Since 1kg of hydrogen fuel is about 8,000 won, the fuel cost per 1km is about 83.2 won. The electric vehicle ‘I Vehicle’ travels 5.1km at 1Kwh, and when it is charged with a fast charger, 292.9 won per 1Kwh is generated, so the fuel cost per 1km is about 57.4 won.

K-Pop Motors started this, saying that if it can produce hydrogen at 30 won per kilometer, which has significantly lowered the price of hydrogen by significantly reducing the cost of the hydrogen fuel production stage, strong competitiveness will arise.

In the end, it can be said that the solution depends on how much green hydrogen mass production and storage facilities, transportation and utilization, and marketing expenses can be reduced.

Yoseop Hwang, Chairman of K-Pop Motors, said, “With the support of Dubai Heritage Holdings, a financial investor, we have implemented green hydrogen (hydrogen produced by water electrolysis) to achieve zero carbon and fine dust, as well as change coal power generation to hydrogen power generation. We will take the lead in establishing hydrogen power generation by replacing our boilers and turbines with hydrogen boilers by grafting hydrogen.”

Currently, the country with the highest level of hydrogen technology globally is the United States. The level of hydrogen technology in Korea is lagging behind Germany, Japan, and China, so it is time for intensive R&D.

The background of K-pop Motors’ joint development of technology with a metal-free carbon nanotube (CNT) polymer composite material producer to replace platinum used for hydrogen production is high content of CNT, which provides excellent dispersibility and low electrical resistance (surface resistance). : 1 Ω/㎤ or less) and securing an electrically conductive CNT composite material with excellent properties such as durability.

An official from K-Pop Motors said, “Now, we will supply a green hydrogen-fired (steam) power generation system that can be installed anywhere in the global market. We will elevate our status,” he said.
