Korea District Heating Corporation Bundang Branch

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Korea District Heating Corporation announced on the 31st that it has recently obtained the Carbon Trust Standard (CTS), a globally prestigious global carbon management certification, in recognition of its efforts to respond to climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

CTS is an international greenhouse gas reduction certification system administered by the Carbon Trust, a non-profit organization established by the UK government. It is a system that grants certification to organizations that have achieved excellent results in carbon management, such as establishing systematic energy management systems and greenhouse gas reduction activities.

Korea District Heating Corporation has continuously improved the greenhouse gas emission intensity by implementing low-carbon and eco-friendly management, including the introduction of high-efficiency equipment, substitution with eco-friendly fuels, expansion of renewable energy projects, and development of low-carbon technologies.

In addition, it continuously discovers 'unused energy' such as waste incineration heat and landfill gas, and 'renewable energy' such as solar power, biomass, and sewage heat, utilizing them as energy sources for the district heating network. It has also actively invested in greenhouse gas reduction technologies, including the world's first development of urban power plant CO2 capture and carbon resource convergence technology.

A Korea District Heating Corporation official stated, "The acquisition of this global carbon management (CTS) certification demonstrates the suitability of the district energy business as a means of reducing greenhouse gases, and we will actively participate in greenhouse gas reduction efforts through the expansion of district energy and technology development in the future."

Meanwhile, Korea District Heating Corporation obtained the domestic low-carbon certification, Environmental Product Declaration, from the Ministry of Environment in April 2018. With the acquisition of the CTS certification this time, it now holds both domestic and international low-carbon certifications.
