South Korea Collaborates with Czech Republic on Clean Hydrogen Production
Key Ideas
  • Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power signed an MOU with Czech Hydrogen Technology Platform for cooperation in clean hydrogen production in Europe.
  • The focus of the agreement is on sharing information and collaborating on clean hydrogen production using surplus energy from nuclear power plants.
  • The partnership aims to develop clean hydrogen technology, particularly the pink hydrogen method, to enhance South Korea's position in the global clean hydrogen industry.
  • This collaboration follows efforts by a South Korean consortium, led by KHNP, to secure a contract for building two nuclear reactors in the Czech Republic.
Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) has recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Czech Hydrogen Technology Platform (HYTEP) in Prague. The agreement aims to facilitate cooperation in the production of clean hydrogen, particularly in the European market. The focus of the partnership is to exchange information and work together on generating clean hydrogen using surplus energy from nuclear power plants. KHNP has been actively involved in developing pink hydrogen technology, which involves producing hydrogen from electricity and steam sourced from nuclear power plants. This collaboration is expected to enhance South Korea's competitiveness in the clean hydrogen industry. Kong Young-gon, a senior official from KHNP, expressed optimism about the partnership's potential to drive success in the European market. Additionally, this MOU follows the initiatives of a South Korean consortium, with KHNP at the helm, to finalize a deal for constructing two nuclear reactors in the Czech Republic. The strategic collaboration between South Korea and the Czech Republic signifies a significant step towards advancing clean hydrogen technology and fostering global partnerships in the energy sector.
