South Korea has unveiled an ambitious plan to transition towards carbon-free power generation by 2038. The draft blueprint aims to increase the share of electric power produced from carbon-free sources like renewables and nuclear power to 70%, up from less than 40% in 2023. This strategy involves adding four new nuclear plants and significantly boosting solar and wind power output. To reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels, South Korea plans to replace aging coal power plants with carbon-free alternatives including hydrogen power generation. President Yoon Suk Yeol highlights the importance of balancing energy sources, with a focus on nuclear power and the expansion of renewable energy. The government's target includes reaching a power generation capacity of 157.8 gigawatts by 2038 to meet the growing energy demand driven by the expansion of data centers and chip production for artificial intelligence. Overall, the plan reflects South Korea's commitment to a sustainable energy future.
