Advanced technology development reducing CO_2 emissions

摘要

Responding to Korean government policies on green growth and global energy/environmental challenges, SK energy, the largest energy company in Korea, has been developing new technologies to reduce CO-2 emissions by 1) CO_2 capture and utilization (CCU), 2) efficiency improvement, and 3) Li-ion batteries. The paper introduces three advanced technologies developed by SK energy; GreenPol? Technology, ACO? Technology, and Li-ion battery. Contributing to company vision, "more energy and less CO_2", the three technologies are characterized as follows. GreenPol utilizes CO_2 as a feedstock for making polymer. Advanced Catalytic Olefin (ACO) reduces CO_2 emission by 20% and increase olefm production by 17%. Li-ion Batteries for automotive industries improves CO_2 emission.
