Co-hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the International Energy Agency (IEA), and the World Bank (WB), this Climate Industry International Expo is the largest climate-related exhibition in Korea. Under the theme 'Energy for AI & AI for Energy,' the event will explore energy technologies in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). The expo will take place from August 27 to 29.

At this exhibition, Hanwha Q CELLS will present a diverse range of renewable energy solutions designed to efficiently respond to the rapidly increasing energy demand driven by advances in AI technology and the construction of data centers. Notable solutions include floating solar power and agrivoltaic solar power, which utilize idle spaces such as bodies of water or farmland. These are considered well-suited for Korea, where available land is limited, as they enable renewable energy production without occupying additional land area.

Hanwha Q CELLS will set up an Energy Infrastructure Zone to showcase its floating solar modules, which have enhanced durability and eco-friendliness compared to standard commercial modules, allowing them to maintain performance and quality even in hot and humid aquatic environments. The company will also display its agrivoltaic modules, which have already been installed at domestic demonstration sites. These modules are designed to be installed at a higher position above the ground in a compact size, enabling both farming and solar power generation by not interfering with plant photosynthesis and allowing the movement of agricultural machinery.

In the Energy Technology Development Zone, which offers a glimpse into the future of the climate industry, Hanwha Q CELLS will exhibit its next-generation solar cell, the 'perovskite tandem cell,' demonstrating the company's advanced energy technology capabilities. The tandem cell is attracting attention as a technology that can improve the economic viability of solar energy, with a theoretical maximum efficiency of 44%, about 1.5 times higher than the 29% theoretical limit of conventional silicon cells. Visitors can also see Hanwha Q CELLS’ commercial modules and inverters (power conversion devices), which are actively supplied in Korea.

Meanwhile, Hanwha Q CELLS plans to introduce its wide range of business areas, including actively promoted energy consulting services both domestically and internationally, as well as resource circulation initiatives. In the Energy Consulting Zone, the company will showcase its energy consulting business model, which directly connects domestic power producers and companies with growing electricity demand-driven by AI advancements and data center construction-through power purchase agreements (PPAs). In the 'Energy Resource Circulation Zone,' Hanwha Q CELLS will present the current status of EcoRecycle by Qcells, a solar module recycling brand launched in the United States in June to establish a virtuous resource circulation system.

A Hanwha Q CELLS representative stated, "Renewable energy is emerging as a global issue amid the escalating climate crisis and the advent of the AI era," adding, "At this Climate Industry International Expo, we plan to provide a comprehensive overview of Hanwha Q CELLS’ expanded global business scope, covering energy production, consumption, and resource circulation."
