Renewable energy innovation technology for realizing the ‘Energy Transition 3030/5060’ plan
We are developing next-generation technologies of ‘high-efficiency low-cost photovoltaics’, ‘wind power generation’, ‘batteries in grid-scale energy storage system as well as for electric vehicles’, ‘renewable-energy resource mapping & forecasting’ and ‘renewable-energy integrated platform’ in order to contribute to more renewable power generation given by nature without greenhouse gas emission, leading to the related-industry growth.

Realizing the hydrogen economy society
We will lead the realization of a hydrogen economy society by R&D of hydrogen supply and usage technologies. For this purpose, green and blue hydrogen without greenhouse gas emission, green ammonia for efficient hydrogen storage and fuel cell for hydrogen usage are being developed.

Development of smart energy technologies for a high-efficiency and low-carbon society
The Energy Efficiency Research Division researches to improve the efficiency of the energy system over the entire cycle from energy production to consumption by developing high-efficiency energy supply systems, intelligent distributed resource management, and efficiency improvement technologies of energy-consuming equipment.

Clean Fuel Production and Utilization for Greenhouse Gases Reduction and Clean Air
- Development of clean fuel production and resources upcycling technologies from carbon-based fossil fuels such as fossil fuels, bio-energy, waste.
- Development of greenhouse gas capture, storage and utilization technologies
- Development of fine dust reduction technologies

2024 KIER International Joint R&D Project Funding Program
■ Objectiveㅇ Promoting energy technology of KIER and conducting the top-tier cutting edge joint R&Ds with foreign research groups. ■Outcome ㅇ The FY 2024 KIER international joint R&D project* will be funded by KIER. * Description for KIER’s International Joint R&D Project Approx. 200M KRW at maximum will be granted for each project. (100M KRW for KIER / 100M KRW for the foreign partner, at the most) ■ Candidates qualificationsㅇ Any Scientists and engineers in need of KIER’s funding support with an aim for advancing state of the art research in the area of energy technologyㅇ And those with more than 3 years of relevant professional career ● Any scientists and engineers who meet the abovementioned qualifications are eligible to apply and submit foreign PI’s concept paper (CP) and CV by July 5 (Wednesday), 2023. - Proposal CPs relevant to KIER’s 2 CPs only are eligible for this funding program.- If you submit CP with no relevance with KIER’s 2 CPs, then it will not be accepted as funding program this year. - Overhead cost cannot exceed 20% of total budget cost (This rate can be negotiable after the final selection) ● After the 1st proposal evaluation, several top-ranked candidates will be selected as eligible partners for full proposal submission with 2 KIER PIs. One partner for one KIER PI will be matched at the 1st evaluation during the 2nd week of July, 2023. The submitted CP (Concept Paper) and your CV only are considered in the evaluation by the KIER Committee. (No oral presentations)● KIER will award one or two projects (the number maybe changed depending on the budget available) which successfully pass the final presentation evaluation as KIER’s international joint projects.- Presentation speaker should be both foreign PI and KIER PI- Foreign PI gives an online
