Busan Port Authority, Company-wide Promotion of 'Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Rationalization of Energy Use'

This Year’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Target 30%... 100% LED Indoor Lighting Deployment at Busan Port

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Busan Port Authority announced on the 17th that it has established the '2020 Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Energy Use Rationalization Promotion Plan' in response to the government's eco-friendly policies and will begin full-scale implementation.

Along with the establishment of the plan, a separate Promotion Committee will be formed and operated, and detailed plans for greenhouse gas reduction and energy saving, as well as inspection, analysis, and evaluation of execution performance, will be vigorously carried out.

As a detailed plan, each department will designate an 'Energy Keeper' to strictly manage indoor heating and cooling temperatures, and periodically check the usage of electricity, city gas, and vehicle fuel. The six new leased business vehicles planned for this year will all be introduced as eco-friendly vehicles (3 hybrids, 2 electric vehicles, and 1 fuel cell vehicle).

In particular, for newly constructed or expanded buildings of a certain scale or larger, efforts to improve energy use efficiency, such as establishing a Building Energy Management System (BEMS), will be strengthened. The newly completed New Port Workers' Welfare Center this year will also pursue certification for building energy efficiency grade 1+++ (the highest grade). A 340kw solar power generation facility has already been installed in the welfare center.

Additionally, the indoor lighting LED adoption rate in Busan Port buildings, which was 92.5% until last year, will be replaced with 100% LED by the end of this year, and employee education and publicity will be strengthened to raise awareness of energy saving.

President Nam Gichan said, "We will do our best to reduce greenhouse gases by actively implementing energy use rationalization measures such as expanding renewable energy facilities and using high-efficiency energy equipment."
