To meet the 2030 NDC and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, technological solutions are essential to drive substantial carbon reductions in the industrial sector. In particular, Korea’s core industries—such as steel and petrochemicals - emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases during raw material conversion processes.
Advancing C1 gas conversion technologies for industrial by-products is therefore both urgent and necessary
to reduce these emissions and reach national climate goals.

With the global push for carbon neutrality, stricter regulations on carbon footprint reduction and RE100 compliance are being enforced on export products.
In addition, international policies such as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM, trial implementation in 2023) and the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are creating new sources of trade friction, posing significant risks to Korea’s export-oriented industries, particularly steel and petrochemicals.
These challenges call for bold technological breakthroughs.

To achieve both carbon neutrality and industrial competitiveness, the industrial sector needs CCU (Carbon Capture and Utilization)
technologies that are readily applicable and scalable with minimal process modifications.
As a results, carbon-emitting companies are seeking widely adoptable solutions that enable significant emissions reductions
with limited capital investment. Meanwhile, chemical or bioindustries supporting downstream sectors are
turning global carbon regulations into a growth opportunity in eco-friendly markets.

Through the C1 Gas Refinery Project (2015-2024), we have developed world-leading technologies for C1 gas conversion.
Several of these technologies have already been validated in industrial environments and pilot-scale facilities, demonstrating their practical feasibility.
Collaborative industrialization efforts are currently underway with corporate partners to bring these innovations to market.
