Inauguration Ceremony Held on the 7th

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The Korea Iron & Steel Association announced on the 7th that it held the inauguration ceremony of the 'Eco-friendly Energy Steel Committee' at The Plaza Hotel with related industry representatives in attendance.

As countries around the world rapidly transition to eco-friendly energy sources such as solar and wind power as key measures to overcome the climate change crisis, the demand for steel materials used in related equipment and facilities is also expected to increase. The committee was established to create demand and contribute to the mutual development of related industries by supplying high-quality and high-performance domestically produced steel materials in line with these changes.

The committee includes 15 member companies such as SeAH Steel, Dongyang Steel Pipe, Changwon Bending, and Aju Steel, which manufacture supports and structures for eco-friendly energy facilities, as well as material suppliers like POSCO, Hyundai Steel, and Dongkuk Steel. Eleven experts from universities and research institutions serve as advisory members.

Park Eulson, General Manager of POSCO Energy Shipbuilding Marketing Office, who was appointed as the inaugural chairman on the day, said, "The transition to a low-carbon economic structure through carbon neutrality and the expansion of eco-friendly energy is an irresistible trend of the times," adding, "Through the committee, we will contribute to building a robust eco-friendly energy industrial ecosystem based on communication among member companies and committee members."

This year, the committee plans to actively promote projects such as demand discovery, policy proposals, publicity and awareness improvement, and exchanges to establish a sustainable eco-friendly energy industry ecosystem. It also plans to cooperate with various related companies in the future.
