[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] Korea Energy Engineering University (President Yoon Eui-jun·KENTECH) announced on the 2nd that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for technological cooperation in carbon neutrality and renewable energy fields with SK E&S (CEOs Yoo Jung-joon and Chu Hyung-wook).

Through this MOU, both parties plan to mutually cooperate in areas including ▲hydrogen/LNG liquefaction, hydrogen storage/transportation and refueling station technologies ▲demonstration of offshore wind power generation and water electrolysis technology using offshore wind power ▲real-time prediction, monitoring, control, and operation of next-generation power grids ▲improvement of grid deficiency phenomena using energy storage ▲carbon dioxide capture, storage, utilization, and fine dust reduction technologies.

Additionally, KENTECH expects synergy effects in its key research areas such as hydrogen energy storage and transportation linked with offshore wind power, next-generation energy grids, energy climate and environment/technology focusing on carbon dioxide capture, storage, and utilization, as well as LNG liquefaction.

Professor Hwang Ji-hyun, a hydrogen liquefaction specialist at KENTECH, stated, "Investments in technology development for offshore wind power, next-generation energy grids, carbon dioxide capture, storage, and utilization technologies aimed at achieving the 2050 hydrogen economy and carbon neutrality era align with KENTECH’s overall research fields, and we expect significant synergy effects in the future."

Yoon Eui-jun, President of Korea Energy Engineering University, said, "With this industry-academia MOU, we plan to actively cooperate so that many industry-academia projects can proceed from the concept of original new technologies desired by companies through research and development to commercialization."
