The energy mix in Korea is expanding, yet petroleum — from crude and LPG — including refined products and petrochemicals — continues to play a critical role in the South Korea’s industrial base.
At the same time, biofuels are emerging as a vital piece of the decarbonisation agenda, while in the power sector, coal remains a key fuel but is increasingly being replaced by alternatives such as LNG, ammonia, and hydrogen. Covering these three pillars together reflects how South Korea must balance established markets with the transition to new fuels.
This year’s Korea Forum will bring together market specialists and business leaders to examine what’s ahead across these sectors. Attendees will gain practical insights, expert analysis, and the chance to engage in open dialogue on how global trends and policy shifts connect to South Korea’s unique position in the energy value chain.
