K-water Strengthens Tidal Power Cooperation with Liverpool, UK
Published
K-water said it is expanding international cooperation by hosting a tidal power conference together with the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority in the United Kingdom. The event was arranged for the two organizations to exchange views on eco-friendly energy technology and to strengthen their global partnership.
Tidal power generates electricity by using the flow of seawater during the rising and falling tides. It does not rely on fossil fuels such as coal or oil, so it has the advantage of producing few greenhouse gas emissions. For this reason, many countries are paying attention to it as a way to secure renewable energy in areas where the difference between high and low tides is large.
Korea has important experience in the field of tidal power. The Sihwa Tidal Power Station, located in Sihwa Lake in Gyeonggi Province, is known as the largest tidal power station in the world. Based on this operational experience, K-water has been exchanging technology and information with overseas institutions.
This conference is expected to be an opportunity to find ways for the two countries to cooperate in the field of renewable energy. Specific details of the cooperation and follow-up schedules will be announced later.
