From renewable energy to hydrogen, Korea-Germany expand green tech cooperation

The Korea-Germany Energy Forum (Frizz Forum) was held successfully with the aim of accelerating the energy transition through technology and policy exchanges between Korea and Germany. The main agenda of this forum was to strengthen cooperation between the two countries in the next-generation energy sector, including expansion of renewable energy, smart grid, energy storage systems (ESS), and hydrogen technology.


Sharing carbon neutrality strategies between the two countries, presenting directions with specific figures

At this forum, the Korean government introduced its major policies, including the '2050 Carbon Neutral Scenario', 'Hydrogen Economy Activation Roadmap', and 'Renewable Energy 3020 Implementation Plan', while Germany shared its energy transition policy aimed at achieving carbon neutrality by 2045. Core technologies and policies of each country, such as hydrogen, batteries, and piezoelectric elements, were summarized, providing participants with practical insights.


Providing a venue for innovative technologies and practical exchanges

Along with presentations on energy efficiency and smart grid technologies, technical sessions will be held on hydrogen production and storage technologies, high-efficiency battery materials, and next-generation power control systems.

In particular, Korea's PUROM participated in the 2-minute pitching session in the green tech sector, attracting attention by introducing eco-friendly paint and radon shielding technology.



Expecting practical cooperation through participant-centered human networking

More than 100 people from various fields, including governments, industry, and academia from both countries, participated in this forum, and networking sessions among attendees laid the foundation for technological exchange and practical collaboration. The cooperation channels established through the forum are expected to expand into practical research and business cooperation for energy transition and carbon neutrality in the future.
