KRISO uses the sustainable use of seawater resources. Clean energy, resource conversion, Industrialization Promoting research,
We have strengthened the global competitiveness of Korean maritime technology.
⚙️ Development of the 4th ‘OTEC Plant’ in the world – technology that opened the future of marine energy
OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion)
of the ocean Temperature difference between the surface layers warm water and the cold water in the depthsIt is an eco-friendly technology that generates electricity by using
Kriso works in this field The fourth in the world20kW class demonstration plant was established.
based on this 1MW class OTEC plant design planhas obtained AIP (Principle Approval)** from the French Register (BV).
🔍 AIP (Approval in Principle): Formal approval process in which accredited authorities verify technical stability and feasibility in the conceptual design stage
This achievement was made by Korea Renewable energy technology in advanced countriesis evaluated as an important milestone that shows.
💧 Evolve into deep ocean water technology, industrial resources
Kriso works with industry Developed ‘Eating Deep Sea Water’,
Advancement of mineral extraction and concentration technology Deep sea water through the back
Not just a resource Clean industry raw materialsdeveloped into.
Key technical achievements
- ✅ Commercialization of minerals (calcium, magnesium, etc.) in deep sea water
- ✅ Development of deep water-based food and cosmetic raw materials
- ✅ Contribute to the creation of a ‘clean marine industry cluster’ in Goseong

🌍 2050 Vision: ‘Realization of Infinite Value of Seawater Resources’
Looking at the next 25 years, KRISO announced the vision of ‘Realizing the infinite value of seawater resources’**.
To achieve this, we have set three key goals.
KRISO 2050 Core Vision 3 Axis
| Target | Details of the promotion |
|---|---|
| ① Seawater strategic resource technology self-reliance | Localization and self-reliance of core technologies for marine energy and deep water |
| ② Leading global seawater-based agenda | Carbon neutrality based on marine water resources leads research on climate change response |
| ③ Reinforcement of competitiveness in the local industry | Creation of Gangwon’s maritime industry ecosystem through industry, academia, and research |
Kriso does this Realized RE100 (100% renewable energy),
Reinforcement of carbon-neutral technology, Securing sustainable water resourcesresearch for
We plan to expand in all directions.
🧭 Kriso’s Future Directions: Focusing on Cooperation and Innovation
Kriso Director Hong Ki-yong said in his commemorative speech:
“The 20 years of the center was thanks to the cooperation of the government, local governments, industry, and academic circles.
In the future, KRISO will focus on the 2050 vision. Key bases for national marine industry innovationI will grow into it.”
KRISO will be in the future
- Expansion of industry, academia, and research joint projects
- Fostering marine energy startups
- Establishing an international cooperative research platform through, etc
We plan to continue to promote the globalization of Korea’s marine science and technology.
