5th Energy Technology Development Plan and Energy Technology Roadmap

The 5th Energy Technology Development Plan is Korea’s medium- to long-term R&D strategy for achieving carbon neutrality and energy security through a carbon-free energy technology ecosystem. It sets targets to raise energy technology self-reliance to 90% and the commercialisation rate to 50%, with expected economic spillover effects of KRW 59 trillion. The plan is structured around four strategies and 14 tasks covering the full energy value chain from supply to delivery systems and demand. Priority technologies include next-generation nuclear, SMRs, tandem solar cells, renewables, clean hydrogen, HVDC, AC/DC distribution, ESS, heat pumps, hydrogen mobility and e-fuels.
