Korean Technology to Be Deployed in Mongolia’s Power Grid and Tanzania’s Transport Network... Full-Scale Overseas Demonstration of K-Climate Technology Begins

National Green Technology Institute Expands Cooperation with World Bank and Developing Countries
Three Projects Launched, Including AI-Based Methane Estimation

Korea’s climate technology is set to be actively implemented in developing countries such as Mongolia, Tanzania, and Kyrgyzstan. As the government embarks on overseas demonstration projects for K-climate technology, the global dissemination of domestic technology and the expansion of international cooperation projects are accelerating.

The National Green Technology Institute announced on May 8 that it held a promotional and cooperation event for the 'Developing Countries Climate Technology Demonstration Research' project at the Government Sejong Convention Center on May 6.

This event was organized to introduce the new ‘Developing Countries Climate Technology Demonstration Research’ project, led by the Ministry of Science and ICT, and to discuss domestic climate technology cooperation plans with officials from developing country governments and representatives from the World Bank.

The event was held as part of the energy and environment session at the ‘2026 Korea Green Innovation Day (KGID),’ hosted by the World Bank. The event was attended by the World Bank project team, officials from developing country governments, and domestic partner organizations.

The demonstration projects unveiled at the event include: ▲ Establishment of an intelligent power grid in Mongolia ▲ Development of an extreme climate-adaptive transportation system in Tanzania ▲ Application of artificial intelligence (AI)-based methane estimation technology in Kyrgyzstan—three separate initiatives in total.

During the event, the National Green Technology Institute also held separate bilateral meetings with the World Bank and representatives from developing countries to discuss the identification of new projects for 2027 and ways to expand cooperation.

Gladness Leyemura, Transport Specialist for East Africa at the World Bank, said, “We are pleased that the Tanzania project has been selected as the first demonstration project, and we look forward to ongoing cooperation with K-partners in the future.”

Oh Daegyun, Director of the National Green Technology Institute, stated, “Applying Korea’s outstanding climate technology in developing countries and expanding these efforts into large-scale projects through cooperation with the World Bank is an important first step. We aim to create a successful model that contributes to climate change response and sustainable development in developing nations.”
