  "account": "Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. (KHNP) shared its research findings on producing nuclear clean hydrogen in the Czech Republic, positioning itself for entry into the European hydrogen market. On November 5, the company held a sharing session in Prague to present the results of a 10-month research project conducted in collaboration with UJV-Rez, a Czech research and engineering firm. UJV-Rez, established in 1955, specializes in energy facilities, nuclear medicine, and hydrogen technology development, providing comprehensive support from research and development to facility construction, making it a crucial partner for KHNP's local commercialization efforts.\n\nDuring the session, UJV-Rez detailed its research findings and outlined future directions for commercializing nuclear clean hydrogen production in the Czech Republic. In response, KHNP highlighted its own hydrogen business capabilities and the current status of its cooperation with the Czech Republic. The event attracted a significant presence from Czech government officials, CEZ, and local gas pipeline operators, among other key industry stakeholders. They engaged in detailed discussions to explore specific utilization methods of clean hydrogen and to establish a cooperation framework among relevant industries.\n\nCzech Republic is deemed an important partner for Europe due to its high growth potential in the hydrogen industry, driven by nuclear power generation. Jeong Byeong-su, head of KHNP's Renewable Hydro Business Division, underscored the company's resolve to leverage its demonstration experience in nuclear clean hydrogen production in Korea as a foundation for creating new opportunities in the European market, emphasizing the commitment to further cooperation with the Czech Republic.",
