Chungnam Province and Samsung Display Join Hands to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Installation of Solar Power Facilities on Idle Land

Chungnam Province and Samsung Display have joined forces to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

On the 14th, Governor Kim Taeheum signed a 'Mutual Cooperation Agreement for Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Expansion of Renewable Energy Using Idle Public Land' with Choi Joosun, CEO of Samsung Display, at the provincial government office.

According to the agreement, the province will provide 5,500 square meters of public land to power generation companies, and the company will install solar power facilities with a capacity of 1,200 kW.

Samsung Display is expected to purchase all the electricity produced, thereby contributing to both achieving the RE100 initiative and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

In particular, installing solar power facilities on idle public land will also help resolve issues of inconvenience to residents and damage to natural landscapes.

Governor Kim stated, "We will establish a leading model that addresses the problems of existing solar power generation by maximizing the use of idle public land in public institutions," adding, "To achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, we will need to produce much more electricity than now, so we will concentrate hydrogen power generation facilities along the West Coast and work to discover various alternative energy sources."
