KEPCO E&C is researching to demonstrate a system for producing green and clean hydrogen and using it as power plant fuel for hydrogen energy that has recently emerged as a practical alternative in responding to climate change and securing domestic energy security.
Green hydrogen using renewable energy and clean hydrogen produced using nuclear energy is clean energy that does not emit GHG during the production and utilization stages. They are expected to contribute to fulfilling the obligation of reducing GHG emissions and secure energy security by diversifying national energy resources. KEPCO E&C participates in various government-led demonstration projects to secure these technologies.

Research on clean hydrogen production system linked to nuclear power plant
- Hydrogen production system using electricity and steam (process heat) produced from nuclear power plants such as operating nuclear power plants, new nuclear power plants, and SMR (Small Modular Reactor)
Research on integrated energy management system (T-EMS), including hydrogen energy
- Research on complex energy facility operation systems such as hydrogen energy facilities, ESS, and thermal management systems
- Research on HESS (Hydrogen Energy Storage System) linking water electrolysis system and fuel cells
Research on hydrogen/ammonia utilization in power plants
- The produced green hydrogen and clean hydrogen are converted into ammonia form for large-capacity and long-distance transport. Power plants use it as ammonia or convert it back to hydrogen and use it as fuel for power generation.
