Why South Korea?
South Korea is dedicated to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, with comprehensive policy roadmaps and the Carbon Neutrality Act in place. The chemical industry, as a major contributor to emissions, is actively pursuing decarbonization. Petrochemical companies in Korea have set their sights on carbon neutrality by 2050, exploring partnerships for renewable products and adopting measures like recycling, renewable feedstock, CCUS, and efficiency improvements. Industrial decarbonization is essential for South Korea's carbon-intensive and export-oriented economy.
