The UNIST Carbon Neutrality Demonstration and Research Center within the Engineering Research Institute at UNIST has embarked on a new partnership with Hanwha Corporation to pursue collaboration on carbon neutrality by promoting the use of low carbon materials in public sector. A ceremony to mark the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two organizations also took place at UNIST on March 21, 2023.
Through the promotion of scale-up demonstration based on low-carbon source technology, encompassing the entire cycle of carbon neutrality demonstration, the center aims to provide the best corporate-friendly business solution not only in the traditional industries, but in the environmentally friendly industries, or the so-called green industries for the future. It also intends to serve as a platform that connects industry, academia, public research organization, and government to drive collaborative innovation.
