National University ESG Council Signs MOU with Cheonwoo Partners... Expectation for 'Greenhouse Gas Reduction'

Utilizing Big Data of Automotive Electronic Signals
Expecting Carbon Reduction Through Improved Driving Habits

The National University ESG Council (the Council) announced on the 19th that it has signed a strategic business agreement with Cheonwoo Partners Co., Ltd. (Cheonwoo Partners), a blockchain-based ICT (Information and Communication Technology) specialist company, to collaborate on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a comprehensive automobile management service platform.

Cheonwoo Partners is a blockchain-based ICT specialist company that provides a greenhouse gas reduction platform and vehicle analysis data. To reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector, the Council plans to conduct an eco-friendly driving campaign in cooperation with Cheonwoo Partners. By analyzing accumulated big data from automobile electronic signals using artificial intelligence (AI) technology and linking it with a mobile phone application (app), the service offers screens that show the current status of the vehicle as well as information about the driver’s driving habits, helping promote eco-friendly driving.

Through this, it is expected to help efficiently manage automobiles and induce improvements in driving habits, thereby contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions generated in the transportation sector.

The Council is a nationwide university cooperative organization for practical collaboration such as information sharing, program development, and technology exchange regarding ESG management, carbon neutrality, and green campus activities among domestic universities, with its secretariat located at Korea University. Its goal is to transition to carbon-neutral campuses by practicing solutions to environmental pollution and energy saving.

Jo Hunhee, Chairperson of the Council, said, "Carbon neutrality responses in the transportation sector at each university have been limited to vehicle day restrictions or switching to eco-friendly vehicles, but it is important to expand practical measures to reduce greenhouse gases from internal combustion engine private cars. Universities will also continue to make steady efforts to develop various greenhouse gas reduction technologies."

Gong Kyungsik, CEO of Cheonwoo Partners, stated, "Carbon neutrality is not a distant future or someone else’s issue, but our biggest problem today. Active participation is required not only from general companies like ours but also from university members to implement carbon neutrality. We hope for much interest and support for the ongoing partnership projects."
