In contrast to northern Europe etc., which completed construction of storage bases at the end of the 70s, Korea has been unique in both building and operating underground storage bases simultaneously since the 1980s. Korea has the world¡¯s most advanced technology in this area.

KNOC¡¯s technological capabilities have been proven on the world stage, and have contributed to the development of the national economy through promotion of overseas entry of domestic private businesses.
