[일렉트릭파워 이재용 기자] As countries around the world participate in the journey to achieve carbon neutrality, the importance of achieving carbon neutrality and energy security through the use of renewable energy is becoming an issue.

To overcome the deepening climate crisis and create a sustainable future, countries around the world have declared ‘2050 carbon neutrality’ and are accelerating the transition to a decarbonized civilization through expansion of renewable energy, fostering green industries, technological innovation, and energy security.

In particular, as the RE100 movement led by global companies changes into trade standards and international standardization, we are entering an era where renewable energy determines the competitiveness of industry and the economy.

The Korea Renewable Energy Industry Development Council (Co-CEO Hong Ki-woong) held the ‘5th Renewable Energy Day Ceremony’ in the conference room of the National Assembly Hall on October 25th.

Renewable energy associations, industry, academia, and civil society came together to establish ‘Renewable Energy Day’ on October 23, 2019 to realize Korea’s carbon neutrality, foster the renewable energy industry, strengthen export competitiveness, and realize energy security. We hold a ceremony commemorating Renewable Energy Day every year to use it as an opportunity for unity, coexistence, and development of ‘one million renewable energy people’.

This year’s Renewable Energy Day commemoration ceremony was hosted by 22 National Assembly members, including Rep. Kim Seong-hwan, and hosted by Jaehyup Han.
