Dr. Jinwoo Song, Head of R&D at Heesung Catalysts, presented catalyst solutions for methane emission reduction and resource utilization at the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation for Methane Mitigation (AKCMM) Regional Workshop, hosted by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) in Seoul on October 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop brought together approximately 50 experts, including representatives from the 10 member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), government agencies, international organizations, research institutions, and private companies. Participants shared updates on national methane mitigation efforts and discussed emission measurement and reduction technologies, project development, and opportunities for collaboration. During the private sector session, Heesung Catalysts highlighted the potential industrial applications of catalyst technologies for methane mitigation and clean energy production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GGGI Regional Workshop : Advancing International Cooperation on Methane Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reducing methane emissions is a key priority in global efforts to address climate change. Achieving meaningful reductions requires not only accurate assessments of national emissions but also practical technologies and implementation frameworks that can be applied across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GGGI is an intergovernmental organization that supports green growth in developing and emerging economies. Its activities include climate policy development, technology adoption, green investment, and international cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop was held as part of the USD 20 million AKCMM initiative, supported by the Korean government through the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund (AKCF). The initiative aims to strengthen methane emission measurement capabilities, improve relevant policies and institutional frameworks, and identify projects that can deliver measurable emission reductions across ASEAN countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held from October 13 to 15, the workshop covered methane measurement and mitigation technologies for major emission sources, including agriculture, livestock, waste management, and the oil and gas sector. Through presentations by private sector technology providers and site visits, participants explored practical approaches to translating national methane reduction targets into industrial applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Methane Emission Reduction to Resource Utilization: The Industrial Value of Catalyst Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Methane (CH\u2084) is a potent greenhouse gas with a shorter atmospheric lifetime than carbon dioxide (CO\u2082), but a significantly greater warming effect per unit of mass. Over a 20-year period, methane has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) approximately 80 times that of CO\u2082, making methane emission reduction an effective strategy for mitigating near-term climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, methane is the primary component of natural gas and an important energy and chemical feedstock used to produce hydrogen and various chemical products. Technological approaches to methane can therefore be considered from two complementary perspectives: reducing emissions into the atmosphere and converting methane into valuable resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against this backdrop, Dr. Jinwoo Song delivered a presentation titled “Catalysis-Driven Practical Solutions for Methane Mitigation and Utilization” during the private sector session, introducing catalyst technologies and solutions applicable across multiple industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Methane Mitigation<\/strong> segment, he outlined catalyst technologies and potential applications for reducing methane emissions from on-road and off-road vehicles, marine applications, and power generation facilities. He emphasized the importance of selecting appropriate catalyst solutions to address differences in emission characteristics and operating conditions across industrial applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Methane Utilization<\/strong> segment, he introduced catalytic approaches to using methane as a feedstock for hydrogen production and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production. The presentation highlighted methane’s potential not only as an emission source to be controlled but also as a valuable resource for producing hydrogen, liquid fuels, and other energy and chemical products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presentation underscored both the environmental impact of methane and its value as a resource, demonstrating how catalyst technologies can address a broad range of environmental and energy challenges, from greenhouse gas emission reduction to clean energy production. By sharing practical technological approaches from the perspective of a private sector catalyst company, Heesung Catalysts contributed an industrial perspective to international discussions on translating methane mitigation goals into applicable technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catalyst Solutions for a Sustainable Transition in the Global Environmental and Energy Industries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As efforts to address climate change and accelerate the energy transition gain momentum, industries face growing demands to reduce greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions while improving energy efficiency and process sustainability. Since operating conditions and process requirements vary across industries, technological approaches must balance environmental performance with industrial efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catalysts play an important role in meeting these challenges. Beyond reducing pollutants in exhaust gases, they are used to improve the efficiency of chemical reactions and enable the production of new energy sources. Building on these capabilities, Heesung Catalysts provides solutions across a wide range of industries, including automotive emission control, air pollution reduction in industrial and power generation facilities, chemical processes, hydrogen production and utilization, and clean energy applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GGGI workshop provided an opportunity for Heesung Catalysts to share its technical expertise with an international audience and explore opportunities for technology exchange and collaboration in methane mitigation. Moving forward, Heesung Catalysts will continue to leverage its accumulated technological expertise and industrial experience to support greenhouse gas emission reduction and the clean energy transition, providing catalyst solutions that contribute to the sustainable development of the global environmental and energy industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
