Technology Collaboration for a Circular Economy Using Plasma
2024.12.02
On December 11, Heesung Catalysts participated in the Tech Fair hosted by the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMM) as part of the Plasma-Based High-Value Waste Organic Material Conversion Program. During the event, Heesung Catalysts signed a collaboration agreement to advance circular economy solutions through innovative technologies.
This agreement focuses on the commercialization of plasma technology to convert waste plastics into chemical raw materials, reinforcing efforts to establish a sustainable resource recycling system.
The KIMM program introduced cutting-edge plasma-based technology that transforms waste plastics into high-value chemical feedstocks such as ethylene and propylene, setting a new paradigm for waste recycling and resource recovery.
This technology not only promotes a closed-loop resource cycle but also reduces environmental impact, attracting significant attention from both domestic and international industries.
Heesung Catalysts’ Commitment to Circular Economy & Carbon Neutrality
Heesung Catalysts’ CEO, Han Hyun-sik, emphasized the importance of this agreement, stating:
“By integrating plasma technology with advanced catalyst solutions, we can provide an effective pathway toward achieving a circular economy and carbon neutrality.”
Through this collaboration, Heesung Catalysts aims to explore synergies between plasma technology and catalyst innovations to contribute to carbon neutrality. The company will focus on enhancing greenhouse gas reduction catalysts, hydrogen economy-related catalysts, and plasma-assisted processes.
Expanding the Scope of Sustainable Catalyst Technologies
With this partnership, Heesung Catalysts will further strengthen its expertise in:
- Electrode catalysts for greenhouse gas reduction and clean hydrogen production
- Ammonia cracking catalysts for hydrogen extraction
- Reforming catalysts for efficient energy conversion
By continuously developing innovative catalyst technologies and fostering cross-industry collaborations, Heesung Catalysts is committed to driving a sustainable future.
Additionally, this agreement will accelerate the transition toward a circular economy and carbon-neutral society, further reinforcing Heesung Catalysts’ leadership in the global market.
