[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Eun-mo] Daesang is collaborating with the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) to develop a platform aimed at reducing industrial energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

On the 28th, Daesang announced that it signed a business agreement with ETRI on the 27th to participate in the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy’s project for the ‘Development and Demonstration of a Standardized Factory Energy Management System (FEMS) Platform’ focusing on ‘Optimization of Cooling Systems.’

FEMS is a management system that analyzes the energy usage of large-scale factory equipment and optimizes consumption according to demand. Since 2020, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy has been conducting the ‘Development and Demonstration of a Standardized FEMS Platform’ project with the Korea Energy Technology Evaluation Institute and ETRI, aiming to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions across domestic industries.

Daesang will establish FEMS infrastructure for optimizing the cooling system at its Gunsan bio factory by December and begin developing an optimization platform to ensure smooth operation. Sensors will be installed throughout the factory to monitor data, and an information and communication technology (ICT)-based control system will be used to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Daesang expects to reduce approximately 1,000 tons of carbon emissions annually through cooling system optimization.

Gong Sam-jae, Head of Technology at Daesang’s Materials Business Division, said, “This business agreement was signed to proactively respond to the global trend of greenhouse gas reduction. With the technical foundation for continuing eco-friendly activities now established, we will expand our ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management efforts through various initiatives going forward.”
