Together with our current flagship thermal power business, we have continued to increase the percentage of renewable energy power plants to produce clean electricity without generating greenhouse gas emissions. Electrical power is being produced and provided to the nation, through nationwide operations of diverse renewable energy plants such as wind turbine, photovoltaic power, micro-hydro power, etc. Today we are constantly working towards producing a new form of green energy for the future such as wave and tidal power from ocean energy, biomass and fuel cells.
 
Countries around the world are making all-out efforts in the renewable energy business in order to actively respond to global environmental changes such as the exhaustion of fossil energy and global warming due to climate change. KOMIPO has signed the Renewable Portfolio Agreement with the Korean government that states the development of 141.2MW renewable energy by 2008. We have also set up a mid- and long-term plan for securing 733.8MW of renewable energy by 2014 and have aggressively been promoting it.

Clean Development Mechanism Project
 
CDM(Clean Development Mechanism), a project aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, is a system in which the amount of emissions cut, conducted between developed and developing countries or by a developing country itself, is registered at the United Nations and then responded by the Certified Emission Reduction. There are two types - Unilateral CDM Project(Emissions cut project unilaterally conducted by developing countries without technical and capital investments by countries that are mandated to reduce emissions)and Bilateral CDM Project(Emissions cut project bilaterally conducted with countries that are mandated to cut emissions making technical and capital investments in developing countries). Since Korea is not among those countries with duties, only the Unilateral CDM Project is possible.
 
* UN Registered Status of the International CDM Projects: About 30,000 Tons of CO₂/y have been secured
