Haesung DS , a semiconductor packaging specialist, announced on the 23rd that it had been selected as the lead company for the national carbon reduction research and development project hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
This project will be themed ‘Development and field verification of a digital carbon footprint management/operation AI platform for responding to global carbon regulations and optimizing eco-friendly manufacturing value chains’, with a total budget of 9.7 billion won, and the development period will be approximately 45 months. Haesung DS will lead the research and development as the general organization for the project, and participating organizations will include IFIM, WiseNut, the Korea Electronics Technology Institute, and Kyunghee University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, and they plan to establish a collaboration system.
This study is a strategic project planned by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology Planning and Evaluation, and is a national technology development project to respond to the international community’s demand for carbon neutrality and to build a sustainable manufacturing system. In particular, it aims to develop a digital-based carbon management solution to respond to the carbon regulations that are being strengthened, especially in the European Union (EU) and the United States.
According to Haesung DS, the AI-based platform to be developed will be able to measure and analyze greenhouse gas emissions generated throughout the manufacturing process in real time, thereby simultaneously promoting process optimization and energy efficiency improvement. In the future, this technology is expected to contribute to the eco-friendly transition and carbon neutrality of the entire manufacturing industry by simplifying the structure and minimizing the cost burden so that even small and medium-sized companies can easily adopt it.
In particular, Haesung DS is the first semiconductor company in Gyeongsangnam-do to be selected as the lead company for a national project related to carbon reduction, and this is expected to be an opportunity to strengthen its status as a technology-leading company within the local industry.
A Haesung DS official said, “On the 22nd, a discussion was held at the Changwon plant regarding the direction of research and development and expected effects with the attendance of relevant ministries and organizations, and we have begun full-scale research.”
He continued, “The basic technology acquired through this national project will be able to contribute not only to our company but also to the eco-friendly transformation and enhanced competitiveness of the regional semiconductor industry and domestic manufacturing industry,” adding, “We will actively participate in building a sustainable manufacturing ecosystem.”
