Energy Efficiency R&D
Funds Korean teams developing energy efficiency innovation for industry systems.
The Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning (KETEP) issues annual competitive R&D grants for energy efficiency technology under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE). Established in 2009 and managing approximately USD $826 million in energy R&D in 2025, KETEP administers the Energy Efficiency program as one of its six principal areas. The program addresses three sβ¦
Funds energy efficiency R&D across three Korean sectors: industrial (motors, furnaces, carbon-free transition), buildings (zero-energy tech, BEMS, smart management), and transportation (EV mobility, charging infrastructure, bidirectional efficiency).
