Energy Efficiency and Electrification

We continually replace equipment used in construction processes (such as cranes, air compressors, and heaters) with high-efficiency models and optimize air usage through remote monitoring to prevent air leaks in the field. We are also converting gasoline and diesel vehicles operating within business sites to electric vehicles and replacing fuel from oil to electricity for trial high-voltage equipment.

Transition to Low-Carbon/Zero-Carbon Fuels

We will convert fossil fuel-based facilities and equipment, such as those using heavy oil and diesel, to renewable energy-based power or hydrogen energy-based systems. In line with the International Maritime Organization (IMO)'s 2050 carbon neutrality regulations for the shipping industry, greenhouse gas emissions from ship trials are expected to decrease as the industry transitions to low-carbon or zero-carbon fuel propulsion ships, such as ammonia, hydrogen, and electricity. We are contributing to greenhouse gas emission reduction by decreasing the frequency of mooring trials and sea trials through trial operation simulations using digital twin technology.

Introduction of Renewable Energy

In line with our plans to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2050, we aim to expand the introduction of self-energy generation facilities and increase external purchases and investments in energy sources to convert grid power to renewable sources. We will build and operate solar and wind power generation facilities in areas with favorable environments and conditions, and expand the direct use of generated energy.

Establishment of Climate Change Response Systems

To proactively respond to external environmental changes such as accelerating climate change and emerging regulations, we will pursue risk mitigation activities while continuously identifying business opportunities. To achieve carbon neutrality, we will also explore efficient carbon reduction measures in cooperation with customers and supply chains throughout the value chain, and pursue highly effective external reduction projects to acquire carbon credits. Furthermore, detailed implementation matters related to the carbon neutrality roadmap, climate change risk mitigation, and opportunity identification will be transparently disclosed to stakeholders, based on domestic and international climate change-related information disclosure systems and guidelines, such as the TCFD.

Support for Suppliers’ Carbon Neutrality

HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering plans to support greenhouse gas emission reduction for small and medium-sized partners in the shipbuilding industry by participating in the "SME Carbon Neutrality Transition Support Project" organized by the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency. We aim to provide various support programs to SME partners, including equipment replacement, maintenance, and repair activity support, as well as carbon emission measurement and management solutions.
