EcoSimplex Completes Magok Biogas Hydrogen Station in Seoul, Accelerates Eco-Friendly Hydrogen Supply

EcoSimplex, a company specializing in renewable energy and ESG, has taken steps to invigorate the hydrogen economy by establishing an eco-friendly hydrogen production facility that utilizes biogas generated from sewage treatment plants.

EcoSimplex (CEO Song Hyosoon) announced that it held a completion ceremony for the "ECO-Hydrogen Station" located in Magok, Seoul, on June 24, 2026.

The event was attended by around 100 people, including Song Hyosoon, Chairman of EcoSimplex, Park Pangyu, Director of the Decarbonization and Green Transport Innovation Division at the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment, Hwang Keyoung, President of the Korea Automobile Environment Association, as well as key officials from related organizations, local residents, and industry representatives, who celebrated the completion of the facility.

The newly completed ECO-Hydrogen Station is an eco-friendly energy facility that consolidates the technological expertise EcoSimplex has accumulated over the past 37 years in the environmental energy sector.

The facility processes approximately 4,000 Nm³ of biogas per day generated at the Seoul Southwest Water Reclamation Center, producing 500 kg of clean hydrogen daily. The hydrogen produced is supplied directly to nearby hydrogen fueling stations using an on-site supply method, thereby establishing a stable supply system.

In particular, the facility has been expanded to meet the charging needs of commercial vehicles, in addition to the existing hydrogen refueling equipment. An additional 50 kg/h gas compressor and hydrogen dispenser have been installed alongside the existing 40 kg/h gas compressor and hydrogen dispenser, enabling charging for large vehicles such as route buses and police buses.

This expansion allows two vehicles to be charged consecutively. Since beginning commercial operation on May 22, 2026, the facility has been used for refueling hydrogen buses and hydrogen cars, thereby verifying its operational stability.

Kim Youngmin, Vice President of EcoSimplex, stated, "With this completion, we have established a sustainable renewable energy infrastructure that supplies hydrogen fuel using sewage generated in citizens' daily lives. We are proud to contribute to the activation of the hydrogen economy and the transition to eco-friendly energy."

He added, "Since starting our biogas business in 2007, EcoSimplex has leveraged nearly 20 years of accumulated business experience and operational know-how to carry out not only domestic projects but also ongoing feasibility studies for overseas development in Uzbekistan, Malaysia, and Brazil, with support from the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute."

Vice President Kim further commented, "We will do our utmost to ensure the safe and stable operation of the Magok ECO-Hydrogen Station, contributing to improving Seoul's environment, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, invigorating the hydrogen economy, and strengthening national energy security."

With the completion of this biogas-based hydrogen production facility, EcoSimplex plans to strengthen its competitiveness in eco-friendly energy businesses and accelerate the expansion of the domestic and global renewable energy markets.
