Technology will make it easier for South Korea to reach its carbon goals of reaching zero emissions by 2050. The question remains, which technologies will be key? An exploration of three exciting technology advances.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) before it is released into the atmosphere. Over the last five years Korea has heavily invested in this technology, understanding that this is essential for the country's carbon goals. Over the next ten years this technology will bring down carbon emissions from raw material production.
- Bio-Based technologies.
New and improved manufacturing technologies that utilize biological materials can cut down unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions. One such Bio-Tech utilizes a common cleaning chemical-ammonia. Korean technologists and engineers propose that ammonia technologies could cut emissions because the chemical does not emit harmful carbon when burned. Ammonia has the potential as the next emerging alternative fuel source.
- Upscale current renewable energies.
