KHNP and HYTEP Collaborate for Clean Hydrogen in Europe
Key Ideas
- KHNP and Czech Hydrogen Technology Platform (HYTEP) signed an MOU to cooperate on clean hydrogen in Europe.
- The focus is on producing clean hydrogen using surplus energy from nuclear power plants.
- This collaboration aims to enhance South Korea's global competitiveness in the clean hydrogen industry.
Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) announced its partnership with the Czech Hydrogen Technology Platform (HYTEP) to work together on clean hydrogen initiatives. The memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed in Prague, focusing on information exchange and cooperation in the European market for clean hydrogen. KHNP is actively pursuing the development of 'pink hydrogen' technology, which involves generating hydrogen from electricity and steam produced by nuclear power plants. The agreement includes plans for collaboration in clean hydrogen production and other aspects of the hydrogen industry. This joint effort is expected to boost South Korea's standing in the global clean hydrogen sector. Additionally, KHNP's ongoing endeavors in the Czech Republic, including the construction of nuclear reactors, further demonstrate their commitment to advancing clean energy solutions.
