Companies Preparing for the Future with Eco-friendly Energy: The Case of Korea Zinc in Australia
Published
Recently, efforts to reduce carbon emissions and build a sustainable future have been continuing worldwide. Amidst this trend, domestic companies are also actively investing in eco-friendly energy projects and leading change.
Korea Zinc is expanding its eco-friendly energy base, centered in Australia, with solar, wind, and green hydrogen. In particular, the 124MW solar power plant completed in Australia in 2018 is being evaluated as a prime example of eco-friendly management, as it provides a stable power supply to the local Sun Metals refinery.
These corporate efforts are becoming an important strategy that goes beyond simply reducing carbon emissions to cutting energy costs and enhancing corporate competitiveness. As models where the environment and economy harmonize, such as Europe's 'Doughnut Economics' experiments, gain attention, Korean companies are also keeping pace with this trend.
For Korean society to realize carbon neutrality in the future, not only corporate technological development but also government policy support and public interest are required. The transition to eco-friendly energy has now become an essential task rather than a choice.
I look forward to seeing what new changes our companies will create for a sustainable future. I hope that these attempts to create economic value while protecting the environment will also have a positive impact on Korea's energy policy.
