Nongshim Installs Solar Power Facilities at Incheon Logistics Center... "Replacing 50% of Electricity with Renewable Energy"

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] Nongshim announced on the 2nd that it recently installed solar power facilities at the Incheon Integrated Logistics Center, a logistics hub in the Seoul metropolitan area.

Nongshim's solar power facilities consist of 2,066 solar modules connected together, covering an area 1.3 times the size of a soccer field. It produces approximately 1,400 MWh of electricity annually, replacing 50% of the power needed to operate the logistics center with renewable energy.

Nongshim expects that this solar power facility will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 650 tons annually. This is equivalent to planting approximately 4,600 pine trees each year.

Since 2018, Nongshim has actively participated in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by improving production facilities. They recover and reuse heat generated during the manufacturing of ramen and snacks, and replace energy-intensive equipment such as air compressors with high-efficiency models, achieving a total reduction of 4,475 tons of greenhouse gases by last year. Nongshim plans to expand solar power facilities nationwide and actively pursue greenhouse gas reduction in the future.

A Nongshim official stated, "Recently, we have been continuing efforts to reduce greenhouse gases tailored to each business site, including replacing lighting with LED lights not only at headquarters but also at factories and logistics centers," adding, "We will continue to expand the introduction of renewable energy such as solar power facilities and practice eco-friendly management."
