- Renewable Energy

Strategy
In February 2022, PANASIA joined K-RE100, Korea’s renewable energy initiative that allows companies to use and certify renewable electricity toward RE100 compliance.
Under the Green Premium Program, PANASIA purchases renewable electricity by paying a premium on existing power rates, as outlined in Regulations on Supporting New and Renewable Energy Facilities (MOTIE Notice No. 2022-175).
Through this program, PANASIA contributes to expanding renewable energy use and realizing green value.
Target
2050 Goal | Achieve Net Zero by 2050
Performance
PANASIA participates in the Green Premium Program to achieve its 2050 Net Zero goal, covering 15% of its total electricity consumption in 2024 through renewable energy purchases.
In addition, PANASIA installed and operates a 911 kW solar power system at its headquarters in 2014 and is constructing a 984 kW system at its third plant in 2024, actively utilizing idle spaces to promote the production and supply of eco-friendly energy.
Solar Power Generation Facility Status

Next Plans
Global companies participating in RE100 are adopting various types of renewable energy to achieve their targets.
However, in Korea, renewable energy adoption remains limited, and available implementation options are fewer.
PANASIA plans to explore multiple approaches recommended under K-RE100, including expanding self-generation, Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (REC), and equity participation. Additionally,
PANASIA is constructing a solar power facility at its second plant, scheduled to begin operation in the second half of
2025. Moving forward, PANASIA will continue to align with global climate action efforts and work alongside its customers
to advance RE100 participation.

Eco-Friendly Products and Business Models

PANASIA has developed a range of eco-friendly business models based on its proprietary green technologies, applicable across multiple industries.
Key products include Carbon Capture and Storage systems (Pan-CCS™), ammonia and biogas hydrogen extractors, SOx/NOx reduction systems, and water treatment units.
Among these, PANASIA focuses on its Pan-CCS™ system, a technology that directly contributes to achieving carbon neutrality.

Pan-CCS™ (Carbon Capture and Storage System)

The Pan-CCS™ system isolates CO₂ emissions from major sources such as ships, power plants, steelworks, and cement factories.

Carbon Capture Diagram
  • ① Pre-treatment of Flue Gas The gas is cooled and cleaned of particles and SOx in a quenching tower, then compressed by an intake fan before entering the absorber.
  • ② CO₂ Absorption The cooled gas reacts with an amine-based solvent in the absorber, selectively capturing CO₂. High-performance packing and optimized internal design ensure efficient mass transfer.
  • ③ Regeneration The CO₂-rich solvent moves to the stripper tower, where heat from the reboiler releases CO₂. Water and CO₂ are separated, with CO₂ sent for liquefaction.
  • ④ Liquefaction & Storage The separated CO₂ is compressed, cooled, and liquefied for storage or utilization.

Worldwide, efforts toward carbon neutrality and greenhouse gas reduction are accelerating.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) enforces regulations on Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) and Carbon Intensity
Indicator (CII) for both new and existing ships, tightening emission standards throughout the vessel lifecycle.
In Korea, policies such as the GHG & Energy Target Management System (2011), Emissions Trading Scheme (2015), and 2050 Carbon
Neutral Declaration have strengthened environmental regulations.
In response, PANASIA developed an integrated Carbon Capture and Hydrogen Extraction Package Solution, becoming the first in
Korea to obtain AIP certification from the Korean Register (KR) in 2022.
PANASIA expects that widespread adoption of these technologies across marine sectors (shipping, shipbuilding) and land-based
industries (power generation, industrial plants) will significantly contribute to carbon neutrality and GHG reduction.

Marine Carbon Neutral Solutions

To help achieve IMO 2050 Net Zero, PANASIA provides technologies such
as CCS systems, hydrogen extractors, and ammonia/methanol fuel supply

Smart Factory

A smart factory is a human-centered, intelligent production system that integrates every stage of manufacturing—from product planning to sales—through ICT (Information and Communication Technology).
It covers all manufacturing processes, from design and development to mass production, and includes both application systems and automation/control systems on the factory floor.
Smart factories are classified into five levels, from non-ICT to advanced integration. PANASIA currently operates at the advanced level and continues to enhance and innovate its production systems.

Smart PANASIA

Since 2015, PANASIA has been building and operating its smart factory in phases. Previously, the production of UV lamps—a key component in ballast water treatment systems—required manual processes such as glass molding and heat treatment. Now, the entire process is automated through smart manufacturing systems, resulting in significantly higher productivity and reduced defect rates, improving cost competitiveness. In 2020, PANASIA introduced IoT-based robotic systems for ship-level monitoring equipment, and by 2021, it had completed full implementation of MES (Manufacturing Execution System), WMS (Warehouse Management System), and APS (Automatic Production Scheduling) across all products and processes. As a result, PANASIA became the first company in Busan and the first in Korea’s marine equipment industry to achieve such recognition—earning the Smart Factory Award for Manufacturing Innovation (Energy Equipment Category).
