Hydrogen supply and utilization technology development for leading the way towards a hydrogen-driven economy and society

To move towards a hydrogen-based economy and society in the future, the KIER is emphasizing the production of green and blue hydrogen, which do not give off greenhouse gases. We are also working to create efficient technology for storing and transporting hydrogen, for instance green ammonia. Additionally, we are emphasizing on enhancing fuel cell technology for the use of hydrogen.

Pioneering technological development in renewables for a clean and sustainable energy future

To increase power generation from natural energy sources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the KIER is currently focusing on advancing technologies for highly efficient and affordable next-generation solar and wind power generation. Additionally, they are also working on expanding the grid infrastructure and developing power storage solutions for electric vehicles. We are also working towards the development of a new and renewable energy resource map. This map is utilized to forecast and construct 'plus-energy' convergence platforms, ultimately driving industrial growth in renewable energy.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and ensuring clean air through the development of clean energy convergence technology

To address the issue of greenhouse gas emissions and promote clean air, the KIER is engaged in the formation of technology for producing clean fuel from carbon-based sources including fossil fuels, bio-energy, and waste energy. In addition, we are developing greenhouse gas capture and storage technology, as well as technologies to reduce fine dust particles. Our goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality through the use of clean energy convergence technology.

Developing highly-efficient energy systems and energy materials for a smart energy society

To create a highly efficient and low-carbon society, the KIER is working to develop technologies that enhance energy efficiency in total energy systems, from energy production to consumption. This includes energy supply systems, management systems for distributed energy resources, and high energy consumption devices.
