Chungcheongbuk-do, the Ministry of Climate Change, and Korea Heating Corporation sign an agreement to ‘expand the use of renewable and unused heat’

On the 10th, North Chungcheong Province signed a business agreement with the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment and the Korea District Heating Corporation to ‘expand the use of renewable and unused heat and establish a cooperation system.’

This agreement was prepared to coincide with the completion of the ‘Cheongju Eco-Friendly Energy Improvement Project’.

This construction, with a total project cost of 372.6 billion won, expanded the 58 MW combined heat and power plant of the Cheongju branch of Korea Heating Corporation to 270 MW, making it possible to more stably supply heat and electricity to 93,444 households in the Cheongju area.

Taking this as an opportunity, the three organizations decided to actively cooperate in promoting renewable energy projects such as ▲ incineration heat, unused heat from industrial complexes, and residual heat from industrial processes such as semiconductors and data centers, and sharing heat demand information ▲ developing and feasibility studies on business models utilizing renewable and unused heat ▲ examining investment and seeking commercialization plans ▲ solar energy, biogas, water heat, and sewage heat.

An official from North Chungcheong Province said, “With the completion of this eco-friendly energy improvement project, we will continue to expand the efficient use of renewable and unused heat to lead a great energy transition in North Chungcheong Province.”
