Korea Rail Network Authority Launches 'Digital Carbon Neutrality' Campaign... Achieves 200t CO2 Reduction Effect

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Korea Rail Network Authority announced on the 21st that it has achieved a reduction of a total of 200 tons of carbon dioxide this year through the implementation of a digital carbon neutrality campaign.

The campaign involved the participation of all employees in reducing carbon dioxide emissions (digital carbon footprint) generated during the use of digital devices.

Each employee practiced carbon zero in daily life by deleting unnecessary emails, adjusting monitor brightness, setting privacy protection mode (secret mode), and spreading the 10 digital carbon neutrality practice rules.

As a result, the Rail Network Authority reduced a total of 17TB of data storage space this year. According to the Authority, this is equivalent to reducing 200 tons of carbon dioxide.

Separately, the Rail Network Authority also contributes to carbon neutrality through resource circulation by annually donating unused computers free of charge to nonprofit social welfare organizations to support information-vulnerable groups.

Park Jin-hyun, Head of Management Division at the Rail Network Authority, said, “The Rail Network Authority will continue to make efforts in various ways to realize carbon neutrality in daily life.”
