The four-day event, running through Dec. 7, marks the inaugural edition combining the former H2 MEET exhibition and International Hydrogen Conference into a unified platform. The expo spans 22,000 square meters showcasing the full hydrogen value chain from production to storage, transportation and application.
The exhibition comes timely as the Hydrogen Council, a coalition of chief executives from about 140 global hydrogen companies, is holding its annual general meeting in South Korea during the same week.
Exhibition halls feature major Korean players including Hyundai Motor Group, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment, and Kolon Industries showcasing their latest offerings, products spanning from electrolysis materials and ammonia cracking technology for clean hydrogen production, alongside hydrogen buses, hydrogen-powered trams and hydrogen combustion engines.
Refueling systems and liquefied hydrogen storage tanks are also on display.
"The government will systematically support the hydrogen ecosystem as a key driver for industrial innovation and decarbonization," said Minister of Climate, Energy, and Environment Kim Sung-hwan at the opening ceremony.
"We hope this event becomes an opportunity to invigorate the global hydrogen ecosystem and showcase Korean companies' innovative technologies to the world market."
The international conference also runs three parallel tracks: leadership speeches from government and corporate executives, deep-dive sessions on hydrogen technology and industrial strategy, and country-specific discussions featuring officials from Australia, Germany, Japan and representatives from the International Organization for Standardization and the International Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells in the Economy.
Side events include technology presentations by Korean hydrogen firms, export consultation sessions and the H2 Innovation Award to recognize breakthrough technologies and promising companies seeking overseas expansion.
