‘Stop It, You’ve Used Too Much of the Earth!’ UNIST Publishes ‘Carbon Neutrality, Technology to Reconcile with the Earth’ Based on Actual Research

The Role of Science and Technology in Achieving Carbon Neutrality, Professors Respond

Introducing the Role of Science and Technology from Diagnosing the Climate Crisis to Countermeasures

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] "We've overworked the Earth a lot, so now it's our turn to take care of it...". A book dealing with technologies that restore the Earth, which has only been exploited until now, has been published at a university. The book feels more impactful because it covers technologies that professors have actually used in their research.

Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST, President Lee Yong-hoon) has published a book addressing the current status of scientific and technological research and alternatives to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The book, titled Carbon Neutrality, Technologies for Reconciliation with the Earth (published by CR Publishing), was released on the 25th.

Carbon Neutrality, Technologies for Reconciliation with the Earth deals with carbon neutrality, which has recently become a global hot topic.

Starting from diagnosing the climate crisis, it introduces a wide range of scientific and technological fields, including renewable energy research such as hydrogen, solar power, next-generation nuclear power, and carbon circularity-related research like carbon capture and recycling.

The research introduced in the book is all based on actual cases conducted at UNIST, making it feel more vivid and relatable.

The co-authors Kim Yong-hwan, Kim Jin-young, Bang In-cheol, Seo Yong-won, Yoon Ui-sung, Lee Myung-in, and Lim Han-kwon are all professors participating in climate change and carbon neutrality-related research and development at UNIST.

The authors convey the vivid scenes of cutting-edge scientific and technological fields challenging carbon neutrality, while also showing what alternatives the research conducted at UNIST can offer in the process of realizing carbon neutrality.

President Lee Yong-hoon said, "Carbon neutrality as a response to climate change has now become a goal that must be achieved, and the role of science and technology for future generations is more important than ever."

UNIST explained that this will be an opportunity to examine how the university's leading technologies can contribute to carbon neutrality.
