SEOUL -- South Korea has launched a drive aimed at realizing a "hydrogen-powered society" with a series of public-private partnerships.

The country will accelerate its efforts to produce hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, or FCVs, and establish the infrastructure to support them, such as hydrogen fueling stations. It will also use hydrogen as an energy source to complement oil and natural gas.
