Did you know

South Korea generates only around 9% of its electricity from renewables — one of the lowest shares among OECD nations. The country is heavily dependent on coal and LNG, with nuclear providing most of the remainder. Korea has committed to net-zero by 2050, but the gap between ambition and infrastructure is vast. In a crowd of 2,000 Koreans, fewer than 180 are powered by clean energy — a stark contrast to neighbor Japan at 460, or Denmark at 1,200.
