Because of the global warming and to decrease reliance on fossil fuel, the world is trying to increase new renewable energy use and many national policies are being established by the government in Korea to increase the use of new renewable energy. Out of the many new renewable energy sources, fuel energy is receiving the spotlight as the optimized altemative for the PRS system as it requires less surface area than solar and wind power, has high usage, is able to create heat with electricity, and can be installed in a short period of time. In particular, the distributed fuel cell is receiving the spotlight recently, and rather than power generating massive fuel MCFC, proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) are more appropriate as household fuel cells. These two can be easily operated to be started and stopped and the durability is comparatively high. Many study and localization efforts are being in place for a PEMFC that is appropriate for small forms. This study explains the domestic fuel cell related national policy, domestic market trends, technology development trends and attempts to introduce the research trend of KOGAS and their development results, which is the corporation that leads domestic PEMFC.
