Conversion of heating method for apartment houses External business, carbon credit recognition
Cheongju eco-friendly energy improvement work, nitrogen oxide 71% reduction
[지앤이타임즈 송승온 기자] The Korea District Heating Corporation (CEO Hwang Chang-hwa) announced on the 2nd that it will continue to promote a low-carbon, eco-friendly collective energy project to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and zero carbon emissions in line with the government’s 2050 carbon neutral and Korean New Deal policies.
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.
First of all, the’external project for converting heating method’, which is being promoted for 6 apartment houses (located in Seoul and the metropolitan area), is about greenhouse gas reduction (37% based on the metropolitan area) as the apartment houses switch the heating method from central heating to district heating It is a business that is recognized for carbon credits.
It is expected to help prevent global warming and improve air quality due to reduction of greenhouse gases, as well as secure about 43,000 tons of carbon credits to share profits worth about 1.7 billion won with apartment houses.
In addition, Hannan is promoting eco-friendly energy improvement work by introducing eco-friendly fuels and high-efficiency facilities to collective energy facilities in Cheongju and Daegu, and recently held an environmental impact assessment report for residents.
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. Was found to decrease 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 prestigious presidential citation at the ‘2020 Korea Energy Awards’ in recognition of its continuous discovery of eco-friendly collective energy projects for low carbon and greenhouse gas reduction and the promotion of new and renewable energy projects in line with government policies.
It was selected as an excellent company in responding to climate change for 5 consecutive years at the 2019 CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) Climate Change Response and Water Management Excellent Company Awards Ceremony.
Meanwhile, in November of last year, Hannan held the ‘2020 Collective Energy Conference’ 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 the nation’s largest collective energy company, Hannan will continue to focus on promoting eco-friendly collective energy projects to reduce low carbon and greenhouse gases.”
