Comparative Study on Hydrogen Economy Policy of China and Korea

In this paper, we compare the hydrogen economy policy of China and Korea. We point out that the two countries have their respective advantages such as strong motivation from necessity, national support by law and diversity in regional policies for China and leading strength from government, academic support by universities and participating energy of enterprises for Korea. Also China and Korea are facing some common challenges like lack of supporting policy, lack of advanced technology and lack of human resources. That is why we need to cooperate in the fields of building a technology network for hydrogen energy research, founding a bilateral hydrogen economy park and playing a more important role in some regional cooperation systems.
