In South Korea, DS Dansuk will establish a new corporation, DS Orbion, and speed up the construction of the SAF plant, which is a key task in the 2030 vision. 2020 days said. DSOrbion is a subsidiary of DS Dansuk and, is dedicated to the “Net-Zero Complex Project”, which is being promoted by Gunsan National […]
In South Korea, in partnership with the Saemangeum Development Agency, South East Korea will work with the Saemangeum Development Agency to create the first clean hydrogen complex in Korea that verifies the entire cycle from production to utilization by integrating solar power generation, hydroelectric green hydrogen production, and hydrogen electroplating power generation into a single […]
In South Korea, a research team has developed a highly efficient catalyst that directly converts carbon dioxide—a major contributor to global warming—into industrially high-value 2-propanol. This research achievement was published online in Applied Catalysis B: Environment and Energy, one of the world’s leading journals in catalysis and environmental science. Technology that inputs electrical energy into […]
In South Korea, Chilgok County has created a plant-based leather alternative from discarded melon peels, with the aim of boosting farm incomes and local economy. Located in North Gyeongsang Province, Chilgok County began researching the material in 2024, after low-quality and unsold melons frequently ended up in the Nakdong River. Researchers initially experimented with drying […]
In South Korea, a research team led by Sungkyunkwan University has developed a new catalyst that converts carbon dioxide into ethanol with high selectivity. The study, titled “Atomic-scale Cu–Zn synergy directs asymmetric C–C coupling for ethanol-selective CO2 electroreduction,” was published in Applied Catalysis B: Environment and Energy. Carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas, but […]
In South Korea, Chosun newspaper reports South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission has launched sanction proceedings against seven biodiesel producers accused of colluding on biodiesel and bio-heavy oil bids for more than 11 years. The investigation covers contracts worth about $7.1 billion (9.7 trillion won), with authorities alleging the companies coordinated bids and supply volumes in […]
In South Korea, a research team led by Sungkyunkwan University, working jointly with research teams from Korea University and Northwestern University, has developed an innovative electrochemical system capable of producing eco-friendly hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in large quantities and with high efficiency, without any external power supply. The findings were published in Energy & Environmental Science, […]
In South Korea, S-OIL has launched the supply of bio-shipping oil (B30 VLSFO) to counter the decarbonization flow of the international shipping industry. The competitiveness of S-OIL is that the value chain from the procurement of raw materials of bio-shipping oil to blending and supply is established in the Ulsan area. By connecting VLSFO produced by […]
In South Korea, microorganisms are increasingly being engineered to manufacture valuable compounds ranging from medicines and food ingredients to biofuels and industrial chemicals. However, turning microbes into efficient production platforms requires extensive strain optimization. Finding the right genetic changes to transform an ordinary microbe into a high-performing producer remains a major challenge, as beneficial genetic […]
In South Korea, the KIGAM team developed Flame Plasma Pyrolysis (FPP), a process that directly treats biomass containing approximately 55% moisture under atmospheric-pressure plasma conditions. The system generates plasma flames at temperatures of approximately 800–900°C through the combustion of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and compressed air. Unlike conventional pyrolysis technologies, the process eliminates the need […]
