South Korea is pressing ahead with a second auction of electricity capacity from hydrogen power plants.

However, as with the first auction, October’s tender will allow bidders to fuel their systems using so-called “general hydrogen”—namely byproduct hydrogen from industrial processes or grey hydrogen from gas/LNG, potentially undermining the country’s emissions reduction goals.
