South Korean steel giant POSCO’s Carbon Neutral Committee and Carbon Neutral Green Steel Technology Advisory Panel, which will play leading roles to achieve POSCO’s Net-Zero Carbon 2050, has started operation in earnest. The first meeting of the Carbon Neutral Green Steel Technology Advisory Panel was held on March 29 in Pohang, and was attended by Se-don Choo, head of POSCO Technical Research Laboratories, department officials who will play pivotal roles in achieving carbon neutral such as technology and environment, and consultants. They gave presentations and discussed CCUS technology development trends. In the meeting, the government’s steel preliminary feasibility business and CCUS task progress status were shared and members discussed the possibility of materialization of technology by analyzing cases of overseas CCU technology commercialization and discussed ways to apply it to the steel process.The Carbon Neutral Committee is a consultative group that was launched on 16 March to coordinate the net-zero carbon vision POSCO has established in all areas from a company-wide perspective, quickly make decisions, and examine major issues occurring along with the implementation of a net-zero carbon roadmap. POSCO’s Vice Chairman & POSCO CEO Mr Hag-dong Kim will preside over the meeting every quarter as chairperson and examine the implementation status of the net-zero carbon roadmap to enhance its driving force.Another consultative group that will play a key role to achieve POSCO’s net-zero carbon along with the Carbon Neutral Committee is the Carbon Neutral Green Steel Technology Advisory Panel. The panel, which includes eight external experts who will advise on strategies for work fields such as steel and CCUS technologies, was launched in January to strengthen the roadmap by adding objectivity and professionalism to the Net-Zero Carbon 2050 vision, form an external consensus and seek ways to cooperate with industry-academic collaboration.POSCO declared “Net-Zero Carbon 2050” in December 2020 for the first time as an Asian steelmaker, announced the “Net-Zero Carbon 2050 Roadmap” last year, and then launched the Carbon Neutral Committee and Carbon Neutral Green Steel Technology Advisory Panel this year. In the future, POSCO plans to develop innovative low-carbon process technologies based on these two pillars, secure eco-friendly fuel and raw materials, and gradually switch to a green steel production system.
