Enhanced Internal Safety Standards Beyond Legal Requirements

Preparing for Full-Scale Mass Production and Market Expansion


[Gas Newspaper] Hogreen Air’s 7 kW-class PEMFC has successfully passed the final completion inspection by the Korea Gas Safety Corporation (KGS)

marking a major milestone for the building-integrated fuel cell industry.

Hogreen Air Co., Ltd. (CEO Hong Seong-ho), a hydrogen-specialized company in Korea, announced on the 29th that its

 in-house developed 7 kW-class stationary Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) system has officially passed the KGS completion inspection.


This certification officially verifies that Hogreen Air’s building-scale fuel cell system meets both high-level technical performance and stringent safety standards

and is regarded as a critical turning point for the company’s entry into the urban distributed power generation market.

In line with the Korean government’s 2050 Carbon Neutrality goal and the enforcement of the Special Act on the Promotion of Distributed Energy,

Hogreen Air has devoted several years to developing building-integrated fuel cell systems aimed at improving urban energy self-sufficiency and maximizing building energy efficiency.

With the successful completion inspection, Hogreen Air plans to introduce a product that delivers one of the highest efficiency levels among commercially available fuel cells in Korea.
The system features a compact design that minimizes installation space constraints.
 
In addition, it is engineered with low-noise and low-vibration characteristics, making it well-suited for urban environments.
The system also incorporates IoT-based remote monitoring and control functions, enhancing both operational convenience and safety.
Notably, while fully complying with KGS’s rigorous technical standards, Hogreen Air has applied internal safety criteria that exceed statutory requirements.
The system is equipped with multiple safety sensors, an automatic gas shut-off system, and reinforced durability of critical components to ensure stable and reliable operation.
 

Hong Seong-ho, CEO of Hogreen Air, commented:

“Passing the KGS completion inspection is a significant achievement that officially recognizes Hogreen Air’s technological excellence and safety standards.
Beyond supplying products, we aim to establish ourselves as a trusted partner by providing stable operation and reliable maintenance services.”


He added:

“Through continuous R&D, we will expand our product lineup and advance into overseas markets, growing into a representative eco-friendly energy company from Korea.”

Following this certification, Hogreen Air plans to establish a full-scale mass production system and actively target new public facilities, private commercial buildings, and residential complexes.
Through these efforts, the company aims to contribute meaningfully to reducing energy costs and lowering greenhouse gas emissions in energy-intensive urban buildings.
