“Korea wants to entirely abolish coal power generation and grow renewable energy to 70% by 2050,” said President Moon Jae-in, who is visiting the United Arab Emirates (UAE). We’re going to clasp hands even tighter. “


At the opening ceremony of “Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week,” held at the Dubai Expo Exhibition Center on the same day, President Moon stated in his keynote speech that “the two countries are working together to establish a hydrogen economy that will be a new energy source in the carbon-neutral age.”

It has specific strengths in hydrogen utilization and distribution. ” “The UAE and Korea are working together to develop blue hydrogen and promote the development of a large-scale blue ammonia plant,” he stated.
