The majority of roadmaps for revitalizing the domestic hydrogen economy assume the use of extracted hydrogen, including gray and blue hydrogen. The use of extracted hydrogen, however, goes against the global trend of carbon neutrality, as well as having a minimal impact on the stability of energy supply. Using the recently published roadmap from the Korea Gas Corporation's hydrogen energy business, this brief seeks to analyze the problems with the hydrogen supply and usage plan centered on extracted hydrogen and to propose solutions.
