Greenhouse Gas and Climate Change Project Announcement '9.8 Billion KRW'

[Asia Economy Reporter Junho Hwang] The Ministry of Science and ICT will launch a public contest for new projects in the climate and environment sector worth 9.8 billion KRW from the 28th of this month until the end of next month. The government is implementing initiatives this year to secure technologies for greenhouse gas reduction and climate change response.

First, to reduce greenhouse gases, the ministry will develop core technologies for next-generation solar cell modules that meet harmful substance emission regulations, and secure core technologies for materials, components, cells, and stacks of hydrogen fuel cells. Research will also be conducted on developing bio-chemical fusion processes to obtain petrochemical products from biomass and producing bio-jet fuel to enhance the eco-friendliness of petroleum-based aviation fuel.

For climate change adaptation, core technologies for integrated management of climate and environmental change factors will be developed. This includes developing materials and modules to recover white smoke emitted from power plants near cities as water resources, establishing operational models to secure new water resources for large cities, and preparing an integrated sensor system for water quality and air environment management based on artificial intelligence.

Goseogon Ko, Director of Basic and Fundamental Research Policy at the Ministry of Science and ICT, stated, "Energy and environmental technologies are fields directly related to our lives. We will actively support research and development outcomes so that they positively impact not only climate change response but also the improvement of the quality of life for our citizens in the future."

Information about this project can be found on the websites of the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Research Foundation of Korea.
