APGREEN  received the Excellence Award at the 'SNU Haedong Startup 4th Demo Day' hosted by the Seoul National University Engineering-Haedong Science and Culture Foundation on the 26th of last month.

APGREEN was co-founded in January 2022 by CEO Park Tae-yoon, who has practical experience and start-up knowledge in the hydrogen industry as a founding member of the liquefied hydrogen company and has a global network based on his years of experience in the hydrogen industry and study abroad, and Dr. Ali T-Raissi, a world-renowned hydrogen authority who has more than 40 years of hydrogen R&D experience as a hydrogen scholar who served as the director of the Advanced Energy Research Institute of Florida Center (FSEC). In addition, the director and director of the research institute also have the experience of high-experience researchers such as Dr. Heo Jae-young, former head of the Gas Research Institute of the Korea Gas Technology Corporation, and deep experience and know-how as a founding member of a hydrogen company.

APG Clean Hydrogen Production Device Technology combines clean hydrogen production with CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage).
Using low-temperature plasma technology, hydrocarbon gases such as natural gas and biomethane are converted into clean hydrogen and useful solid carbon materials, optimized in a form suitable for on-site/on-board methods that directly produce and utilize hydrogen if necessary by minimizing storage, transportation and portability, and securing energy savings and safety required through low reaction temperature (about 700 degrees) and securing domestic clean hydrogen production source technology through eco-friendly technology that produces hydrogen and solid carbon without emitting carbon dioxide.

A representative business item is a container-type portable clean hydrogen production device, which is expected to be certified and commercialized in 2024 as a 10 Nh/hr class clean hydrogen production device APG-10.
In addition to the domestic market, it aims to enter overseas markets beyond Korea by promoting CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) projects such as establishing sales channels in the U.S., Europe, and Southeast Asia, using Hyundai Corporation networks (MOU and NDA), establishing hydrogen-based microgrids in Southeast Asia, and participating in domestic and overseas demonstration projects.

Since its foundation in 2022, APGREEN has been growing into a true technology company, including three domestic patent registrations, one U.S. patent application, bench scale production, registration of venture companies and professional research businesses, and investment attraction, as well as excellent performance in various government-supported youth projects, including designation of future performance-sharing companies by the Small and Medium Venture Promotion Corporation and Youth Future Foundation.
