Welcome to this audio presentation, where we’ll explore Republic of Korea's energy landscape. Join us as we investigate the sources that power the nation’s electricity, heating, cooking, and transportation fuels, and uncover the trends shaping its energy future.
Let’s begin by examining the foundation of Korea’s energy mix: fossil fuels. These conventional sources ― coal, oil, and fossil gas ― combine to constitute a significant 77% of the country’s energy makeup. Coal contributes 24%, oil takes the lead with 35%, and fossil gas accounts for 18%.
Beyond fossil fuels, Korea is actively diversifying its energy portfolio. Nuclear power emerges as a notable contender, contributing 14% to the overall mix. This shift towards nuclear signifies a strategic move towards cleaner energy sources, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability.
Additionally, renewables, including wind and solar, are playing an increasingly vital role, making up 9% of the energy mix.
Thank you for joining us in this exploration of Korea’s energy mix.
