South Korea’s energy transition gathers pace

South Korea has announced key policy developments in its energy transition. The country’s 11th Basic Plan for Long-Term Electricity Supply and Demand (BPLE) aims to expand renewables’ share in the country’s energy mix, while the new OSW Promotion Act will streamline offshore wind development. Such moves are attracting new investment; for example, Deep Wind Offshore is teaming up with KHNP to develop 3 GW of wind projects offshore South Korea, and Vena Energy is committing $200mn to the Yokji offshore wind farm.

Onboard carbon capture: a feasible pathway to net zero emissions for shipping

Shipping faces a formidable challenge: to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to net zero by 2050. While several technologies are being developed, the first seagoing zero emission ship of any significant size is yet to be built. However, onboard carbon capture (OCC) could facilitate swift emissions reductions and reduce dependencies on nascent sustainable fuels, write Joan van den Akker from shipping company Conoship International and Richard L Stevenson from Scottish Carbon Capture & Storage.
