SK Ecoplant Introduces Green Hydrogen and Recycling Innovation Technologies at CES

SK ecoplant will participate in the world's largest electronics and information technology (IT) exhibition, 'CES 2024,' for the third consecutive year.

SK ecoplant announced on the 4th that it will participate in 'CES 2024,' held from the 9th (local time) to the 12th in Las Vegas, USA. Seven SK Group member companies, including SK ecoplant, will participate under the theme of 'Inspire Happiness.'

SK ecoplant, together with member companies such as SK Inc., SK Innovation, SK Hynix, SK Telecom, SK E&S, and SKC, set up an exhibition hall. The concept is a theme park where visitors can experience a world of happiness with a 'net zero (a state where the net carbon dioxide emissions are zero)' climate crisis eliminated. Visitors can ride a futuristic train and a flying carpet and even check their fortune using artificial intelligence (AI). The exhibition hall covers 1,850㎡ (approximately 560 pyeong), about 50% larger than last year.

SK ecoplant showcased its capabilities in high-value recycling businesses, including electric vehicle waste batteries, and energy solutions such as offshore wind power, green hydrogen, green ammonia, and hydrogen fuel cells at the exhibition hall. For example, the platform safety fence for the train boarding experience was made from 'K-ecobar,' a steel reinforcement substitute recycled from waste PET bottles, and the floor structure was made from 'K-ecobinder,' a cement substitute recycled from incineration ash.

Additionally, SK ecoplant's apartment waste automatic sorting solution 'PICKLE' and on-site safety and health management platform 'Ansim (Sincere about Safety)' each received CES Innovation Awards.

'PICKLE' connects the entire process from disposal to sorting and resource recovery of household waste generated in apartments and buildings, enhancing the convenience of waste management. 'Ansim' is an application that allows anyone to easily check safety matters via smartphone and manage various data generated on-site.

Park Kyung-il, CEO of SK ecoplant, said, "We have completed the value chain in high-potential industrial sectors such as the global green hydrogen business linked with representative renewable energy sources like offshore wind power and solar power, as well as electric vehicle waste batteries. We will continue steady growth this year by leveraging our innovative capabilities in energy solutions for carbon reduction, high-value recycling, and digital technology-based business advancement."
