Korea Energy University of Technology (KENTECH) announced on August 13 that it will collaborate with the Center for the National Interest (CFTNI), a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, to conduct joint research and personnel exchanges related to energy public policy and international affairs.

On August 12, the two institutions signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a foundation for international research and policy cooperation for the global energy transition and a sustainable future. They confirmed their intention to cooperate in joint research, education, and personnel exchanges.

The Center for the National Interest is a think tank with broad influence in the fields of U.S. energy, security, and foreign policy, and has been actively engaged in international relations and strategic policy proposals.

This collaboration is also expected to serve as an important opportunity for the newly established KENTECH Energy Policy Institute to build its global network. The KENTECH Energy Policy Institute, which serves as a bridge between domestic and international policy, industry, and academia to address the climate crisis and promote the sustainable development of the energy industry, plans to pursue joint research and policy development with this world-renowned think tank through this partnership.

Park Jin-ho, Acting President of KENTECH, stated, "This agreement, along with the launch of the KENTECH Energy Policy Institute, will further expand our global cooperation network in the fields of energy policy and international affairs." He added, "Through ongoing joint research and policy exchanges with the Center for the National Interest, we aim to contribute to the formation of international discourse on future energy transitions and achieving carbon neutrality."
