Abstract

Our government announced blue hydrogen as clean hydrogen with almost no carbon emissions through the '1st Hydrogen Economy Implementation Master Plan' in November 2021, and introduced the Korean clean hydrogen certification system and mandatory clean hydrogen power generation system. Accordingly, it is necessary to convert natural gas produced from countries with overseas oil and gas resources into blue hydrogen combined with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology and introduce it domestically. Blue hydrogen produced from overseas must be transported to Korea through liquefied hydrogen carriers, and in Korea, hydrogen-natural gas must be transported through the existing natural gasnatural gas pipeline network to be supplied to users such as power plants. This study organizes existing data related to blue hydrogen, including the production of blue hydrogen from overseas reservoirs such as the UAE, the transportation of blue hydrogen produced overseas through liquefied hydrogen carriers, and the transport of hydrogen-natural gas through the existingnatural gas natural gas pipeline network. The current technological status of the entire process for implementing the blue hydrogen ecosystem, including mixed transport, is investigated and analyzed.

우리 정부는 2021년 11월 '제1차 수소경제 이행 기본계획'을 통해 블루수소를 탄소 배출이 거의 없는 청정수소(clean hydrogen)로 발표했으며, 한국형 청정수소 인증제와 청정수소발전의무화제도를 도입하여 시행할 예정이다. 이에 해외 석유 가스 자원보유국으로부터 생산한 천연가스 등을 탄소 포집 및 저장(CCS) 기술과 결합한 블루수소로 전환하여 국내 도입하는 것하는 것이 필요하다. 해외 생산 블루수소는 액화수소 운반선을 통해 국내로 수송하고, 국내에서는 기존의 가스 배관망을 통해서 수소를 혼입 수송하여 발전소 등 사용자에게 공급해야 하는 상황이다. 이 연구에서는 기존 국내외 블루수소와 관련된 자료들을 정리하여, UAE 등의 해외 저류층으로부터 블루수소 생산, 액화수소 운반선을 통한 해외 생산 수소의 수송, 기존 가스 배관망을 통한 수소-천연가스의 혼입 수송 등 블루수소 생태계 이행을 위한 전 과정의 현재 기술 상황을 조사 및 제시하였다.
