Abstract

수소경제는 수소를 주요 에너지원의 하나로 사용하는 경제 및 산업 구조를 말한다. 수소경제 활성화를 통해 수소차를 대표로 한 수송 분야뿐만 아니라 전기, 열 등 에너지 사용 분야 전반에 새로운 부가가치 창출이 가능하다. 세계 주요국들은 이러한 수소경제의 중요성을 인식하고 수소경제 지원정책을 수립, 추진 중에 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 독일, 영국, EU, 일본, 미국 등 주요국의 수소경제 지원정책을 정리하고 한국의 수소경제 활성화를 위한 시사점을 도출하였다. 그 결과, 통계 정립 및 수요 분석, 안정적인 수소 공급원 및 인프라 확보, 고용 창출 지원, 기술혁신, 기술 선진국들과 국제협력의 다섯 가지 시사점을 도출할 수 있었다.

The hydrogen economy is an industry that uses hydrogen as one of the primary energy sources. The successful development of the hydrogen economy creates new opportunities for various sectors, such as fuel cells, heat supply, and transportation, including hydrogen vehicles. Because of these opportunities, industrialized countries have already developed policies to promote the hydrogen economy. Thus, we herein reviewed those policies from Germany, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan, and the United States. We also grouped the lessons learned from the policies under five points: setting statistics for hydrogen demand analysis, stable hydrogen supply and securing infrastructure, policies for creating jobs, technology innovation, and international cooperation with countries that have advanced technologies for the hydrogen economy.
