Center for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells

The Center for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells of KIST was established in 1987 to lead the development of hydrogen production, storage, and utilization technologies, which are the core of the decarbonized economy.
For the past 30 years, the research center has focused its capabilities on hydrogen production (hydrogen electrolysis), chemical hydrogen storage, and hydrogen utilization (fuel cell) linked to renewable energy to realize hydrogen-based energy and material circulation technologies in the era of carbon neutrality.
The center will continue to lead the development of innovative technologies, including clean hydrogen convergence technologies, and focus on commercialization-linked technologies through close cooperation with domestic and foreign companies. Its goal is establishing itself as a hydrogen R&D hub that assembles industry-academic collaboration.
