On Thursday March 21, 2019, the South Korea Government announced that it plans to 9.5 billion won (US$8.4 million) over the next three years to establish hydrogen fueling stations that use biogas.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy Industry said the 3 year project will be linked to hydrogen buses and its vision of a hydrogen society where hydrogen is the main source of energy.

As of the end of 2016 , a total of 300 million ㎥ of biogas has been produced, of which 80% is used for power generation and the remaining 20% has been discarded. 

Using the unused biogas and turning it into hydrogen will be the equivalent of refueling 4,000 hydrogen fuel cell powered buses.
