[Courtesy of Korea National Oil Corp.] SEOUL -- A pioneering project to generate electricity from South Korea's first floating wind farm in 2026 has finally passed a preliminary feasibility study conducted by a national think tank, almost three years after a state company moved first by installing equipment to measure wind energy at a useless offshore gas platform. Korea National Oil Corp. (KNOC), which operates oil and gas fields, welcomed the green light from the Korea Development Institute (KDI) as a "significant starting point" for South Korea's energy transformation. "This is a significant starting point for great transformation from the era of carbon energy to clean energy," An Bum-hee, who heads KNOC's new growth project promotion team, said in a statement.
