Promotion of eco-friendly projects such as Hannan and energy improvement construction

[이데일리 문승관 기자] On the 3rd, Korea District Heating Corporation announced on the 3rd that it will continue to promote a low-carbon, eco-friendly collective energy project to reduce GHG emissions and zero carbon emissions in line with the government’s 2050 carbon neutral, Korean New Deal.

Hannan is currently carrying out’external projects for converting heating methods’ and eco-friendly energy improvement projects in Cheongju-Daegu, along with the operation of Dongtan fuel cell power generation facilities, urban regeneration projects such as Taebaek coal mine regeneration, and the establishment of the Hannan Green New Deal Grand Plan.

The’external project for converting heating methods’, which is being promoted for 6 apartment houses (located in Seoul and the metropolitan area), is a carbon source for greenhouse gases (37% based on the metropolitan area) that the apartment houses reduce by switching the heating method from central heating to district heating. It is a business that is recognized for emission rights. It is expected to contribute to preventing global warming and improving air quality due to reduction of greenhouse gases, as well as securing about 43,000 tons of carbon credits to share revenue worth about 1.7 billion won with apartment houses.

Hannan is promoting eco-friendly energy improvement projects that use eco-friendly fuels and introduce high-efficiency facilities at collective energy facilities in Cheongju and Daegu, and recently gave residents’ briefings in the environmental impact assessment report.

The Cheongju eco-friendly energy improvement project reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by 71% and air pollutants (sulfur oxide, dust, etc.) by 74% on an annual basis.As a result of analyzing the impact on surrounding areas, nitrogen oxides are up to 94% and dust is It was found to be reduced by up to 98%.

In the case of Daegu, annual air pollutant emissions decreased by 67%, and as a result of analysis of the impact on surrounding areas after construction, nitrogen oxides decreased by up to 91% and fine dust by up to 96%.

Hannan received the Presidential Citation at the ‘2020 Korea Energy Awards’ in recognition of its continuous discovery of eco-friendly collective energy projects to reduce carbon and GHG emissions and promotion of new and renewable energy projects in line with government policies. At the 2019 CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) Climate Change Response and Water Management Excellence Awards, it was selected as an excellent company in responding to climate change for 5 consecutive years.

Hannan held the ‘2020 Collective Energy Conference’ in November last year to discuss the role and future of collective energy in the era of the Green New Deal, and last month disclosed outstanding research results in the field of collective energy through Hannan’s official YouTube channel.

An official from Hannan said, “As Korea’s largest collective energy company, Hannan will continue to focus on eco-friendly collective energy projects to reduce low carbon and greenhouse gases.”
