R&D Center has devised its own proprietary R&D strategies in line with the company's "Vision 2017" plans, focusing on technology innovation. The center also cultivates core competencies for our upstream businesses and overseas projects and is charged with developing next-generation energies and independent technologies for the construction of liquefaction plants.

KOGAS R&D Center has set its own vision of "Global Leading Energy Technology R&D Center." It has expanded its R&D scope into overall energy fields, cultivating core competencies in upstream businesses, new energy and future growth engines. Furthermore, it is actively building an advanced R&D system through an expanded network with domestic and overseas energy R&D institutes.
