K-water has the largest domestic infrastructure for the Green Hydrogen business
- To produce Green Hydrogen, 'renewable energy + pure water' is required.
- K-water is the number one renewable energy producer in the country (1.4GW) and has the capability to produce ultra-pure water.
- Green Hydrogen focuses on renewable energy from water (hydropower, tidal, floating solar, and geothermal) and aligns with the 'K-water water value regeneration' vision.
