[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan Port Authority (BPA) has launched a project to establish a comprehensive plan for Busan Port's 2050 carbon neutrality goal to successfully achieve 'Busan Port Carbon Neutrality.'

Through this project, BPA plans to investigate and analyze the current status and impacts of climate change at Busan Port, as well as the current status and projections of greenhouse gas emissions.

Based on this, they will derive strategies and tasks to transform Busan Port into a carbon-neutral port by 2050.

They also intend to prepare a roadmap for mid- to long-term greenhouse gas reduction implementation and an energy self-sufficiency plan for Busan Port, discovering detailed phased execution tasks.

Additionally, by reflecting government carbon neutrality policy trends such as the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries' '2050 Carbon Neutral Roadmap for the Marine and Fisheries Sector,' they plan to contribute to realizing the national carbon neutrality goal.

BPA decided to actively promote a concrete Busan Port carbon neutrality strategy based on the results of this project.

Carbon neutrality is a concept that minimizes greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activities and offsets or reduces the remaining greenhouse gases to effectively stop net carbon emissions at zero.

Kang Joon-seok, President of BPA, said, "Achieving carbon neutrality is essential for Busan Port to develop as a sustainable port," adding, "We will achieve the Busan Port carbon neutrality goal by 2050 by implementing the comprehensive plan established through this project."
