SK to Showcase Over 40 Carbon Reduction Technologies Simultaneously at CES

High-Efficiency Batteries and Eco-Friendly Technologies
Showcased at CES 2023 in January

[Asia Economy Reporter Donghoon Jeong] SK Group will showcase a comprehensive range of its affiliates' products and technologies that can practically contribute to 'carbon reduction' at 'CES 2023,' the world's largest electronics and IT exhibition held in Las Vegas, USA, in January next year. Additionally, numerous U.S.-based partner companies in which SK has invested shares or maintains cooperative relationships will participate, allowing visitors to see the technological capabilities of the SK affiliate 'Global Net Zero Alliance' at a glance.

On the 18th, SK Group announced that eight affiliates including SK Inc. and ten U.S.-based partner companies will jointly operate an exhibition hall themed 'Together in Action: Moving Further Together Toward a Carbon-Free Future' at CES 2023 (January 5?8).

This exhibition will include six companies that participated in CES 2022?SK Inc., SK Innovation, SK E&S, SK Hynix, SK Telecom, and SK Ecoplant?as well as two new participants, SKC and SK Biopharm. Also participating are their global partners such as Terra Power, Plug Power, and Plastic Energy.

The SK exhibition hall is divided into two main zones. The first zone, Futuremarks, will vividly depict a bleak future scenario that humanity could face, such as rising sea levels, if proper 'action' against the climate crisis is not taken, using media art technology. The second zone, 'SK, Around Every Corner,' will showcase future cityscapes realized through carbon reduction energy technologies and solutions that SK affiliates and partners have already commercialized or will soon commercialize.

An SK representative said, "The exhibition hall was designed so that visitors can clearly compare and experience two possible futures: one where global members actively take carbon reduction actions and one where they do not."

Earlier, at 'CES 2022' held in January this year, SK Group announced its goal to reduce 1% (200 million tons) of the global carbon reduction target by 2030 and chose 'Together' as the exhibition theme to signify joining SK's 'carbon reduction journey.' For 'CES 2023,' the focus has shifted to 'action,' which is essential to implementing the carbon reduction roadmap.

SK and its partners will present over 40 eco-friendly technologies and products. Exhibits will cover various fields including electric vehicle batteries, hydrogen, high-efficiency semiconductors, waste-to-energy, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), small modular reactors (SMR), urban air mobility (UAM), and healthcare.

Among these, SK On's SF Battery (Super Fast Battery), which boasts the fastest charging speed among currently commercialized electric vehicle batteries, recently won the CES 2023 Best Innovation Award in the embedded technology category. This is the first time a Korean battery company has received the CES Best Innovation Award.

SK plans to present these carbon reduction products and technologies in a virtual living space divided into six zones: ▲Clean Mobility ▲Zero Carbon Lifestyle ▲Waste to Re-sources ▲Air Mobility ▲Future Energy.

An SK Group official stated, "SK views 'Net Zero' as a new growth momentum in the era of energy transition and has been developing various eco-friendly technologies and solutions. We plan to prepare so that the current and future states of related technologies can be seen at a glance at next year's CES."

Meanwhile, materials introducing the SK exhibition hall and press releases will be uploaded sequentially on the website.
