The Energy Journal
2023 @ Design Academy EindhovenA master thesis paper with a journalistic point of view to research the green energy industry, especially offshore wind energy infrastructure in South Korea.
The production of energy from natural elements is a global priority, with the scope of the infrastructure required for energy production varying based on the intended purpose as technology advances. Companies and governments are increasingly engaging in a transition towards large-scale green energy infrastructure, ostensibly with the goal of achieving and demonstrating to the public the possibility of a cleaner, more sustainable future. However, their strategic promotion of such idealistic imagery of the images to the public obscures the negative impact of such an expansion of large-scale energy infrastructure on the natural environment. The urgency for energy independency has obstructed our ability to think critically about how industries envision the future of green energy. As a social design research paper, this text does not heavily study the scientific engineering data on green energy infrastructures, but rather than primarily focusing on the field visitation of landscapes with green energy infrastructure, emphasises on-site visits to wind farms on South Korea's Jeju Island and in the Mokpo region. Moreover, throughout the interview with the current project directors of the large-scale wind farm projects in South Korea, this study discusses the unpublicised parts of the industrial green energy system. Ultimately, this research highlights the consequences of constructing more green energy infrastructure in landscapes to produce more energy, which will affect how society wishes to live with energy in the long-term process.
