[E2News] Sunjin Environment Co., Ltd. (CEO Lee Gang-woo) received the Best Star Technology Award (Ministry of Environment) for its "waste refrigerant-free and treatment technology" developed by the NON-CO2 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Technology Development Project over the past decade.

Sunjin environment Co., Ltd. won the award as the best 6 technologies among the 26 projects performed by the NON-CO2 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Technology Development Project Group at the "Global Top Environmental Technology Development Project Performance Report" hosted by the Ministry of Environment.

The Global Top Environmental Technology Development Project Performance Report is a place to share R&D achievements that the Ministry of Environment has spent 560 billion won over the past decade and to select and encourage companies or institutions that have produced excellent performance and results. At the event, Sunjin environment Co., Ltd. was selected as the best star technology awarded to the top six technologies.

Sunjin environment Co., Ltd. is a company specializing in recovering, refining, recycling, and treating waste refrigerants that remove impurities contained in waste refrigerants and then recycle them or stably destroy refrigerants that cannot be recycled due to technology and economy problems at high temperatures. Refrigerants such as CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs are essential substances used in refrigeration and refrigeration facilities or air conditioners, but global air leakage prevention activities are underway around the world by destroying the ozone layer and causing global warming.

However, even in Korea, a large amount of refrigerant is still leaking in the process of repairing or disposing of automobile air conditioners, home refrigerators, industrial and commercial refrigeration air conditioners due to insufficient laws and negligence. At the end of 2017, Sunjin Environment Co., Ltd. established the first process in Korea to recycle and thermally destroy waste refrigerants generated by various industrial and commercial refrigerators in a single process in the Busan Raw Grain Resource Circulation Complex.

Using the facility's waste refrigerant-free and treatment technology, 500kg of waste refrigerant per hour is reduced to renewable refrigerants and 50kg of non-renewable refrigerants are thermally treated to reduce greenhouse gases by hundreds of thousands of tons per year. Starting in the second half of this year, it will enter overseas markets based on domestic commercialization results, export carbon resource technology, and conduct plant businesses.

Lee Gang-woo, CEO of Sunjin Environment Co., Ltd., is an environmental engineering Ph.D. and technician who has obtained the first refrigerant-related new technology (NeT) in Korea from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy through constant research and development with master's and doctoral researchers.

"The global top environmental technology development project served as an opportunity and challenge for environmental technology to develop to the next level," said Kim Young-hoon, head of the Ministry of Environment's natural environment policy department.

Meanwhile, the global top award-winning environmental technology will be displayed online on the website (www.globaltopeco.or.kr) until August 13. In addition, specialized online exhibition halls of six business groups will be held sequentially until the 13th of next month as a "special week for each business group."
