UNIST Graduate School of Carbon Neutrality will work with PI Advanced Materials Co., Ltd., the world’s largest polyimide film market share, to develop technology to reduce carbon emissions.
On October 16, the Graduate School of Carbon Neutrality and PI Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. entered into a business agreement to realize carbon neutrality. The two organizations worked together in various fields, including the development of carbon neutrality policies, joint research, and human resources development, aiming to commercialize carbon neutrality technology.
The Graduate School of Carbon Neutrality at UNIST currently operates four research groups: △ Environmental Management and Policy Research △ Carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology △ Hydrogen and renewable energy technology. Based on its research capabilities, it plans to accelerate technology development in cooperation with PI advanced materials and actively apply research results to industrial sites.
The two organizations plan to combine carbon-neutral technology with advanced materials to lead environmental issues and innovation. They plan to strengthen their global competitiveness by consolidating policy and technological cooperation and strive to realize carbon neutrality.
“Cooperation with PI Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. will be an important milestone in the commercialization and research of carbon neutral technology,” said Yongwon Seo, Head of Graduate School of Carbon Neutrality. “We hope that concrete results will be achieved starting with the agreement and that we will lead to a big change for a sustainable future.”
“Through cooperation with UNIST, we will strengthen policy and technological cooperation to realize carbon neutrality, which will mark a new turning point in achieving corporate carbon neutrality goals,” said Heejoon Ham, Senior Vice President of PI Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. “We expect each other to grow in various aspects such as policy development, technological innovation, and talent training.”
