From reducing carbon
emissions to capturing
emitted carbon to use as a
new resource
We have established a research center dedicated to carbon capture in Suwon— a first in the semiconductor industry — to develop and commercialize carbon capture and utilization technology that stores carbon emitted from semiconductor manufacturing sites and recycles it as a resource.
In September 2021, the Carbon Capture Research Institute (now restructured as "Air Science Research Center") was founded with the aim of developing technology that efficiently collects greenhouse gases with less energy, converting them into useful resources and promoting cooperative research with domestic and international universities and research institutes.
The company aims to apply carbon capture technology to semiconductor manufacturing facilities after 2030 and then expand to other companies and partners.
F-gases(Fluorinated gases) Reduction Technology
We operate Point of Use (POU) scrubbers optimized for individual semiconductor manufacturing sites to reduce F-gases.
Our largescale sites in Giheung, Hwaseong, and Pyeongtaek have Regenerative Catalytic Systems (RCSs) installed,
while our small-scale Cheonan site has specialized POU scrubbers installed for direct F-gas reduction.
Reducing particulate
matter to improve
the quality of air
we breathe
We established the Air Science Research Center (previously Particulate Matter Research Institute) in January 2019, dedicated to developing innovative filters and original technologies to detect, analyze, and remove particulate matter.
We successfully developed the world’s first air purification filter capable of removing both fine particles and gases, which can be easily cleaned with water and reused for up to 20 years. We have developed a prototype product based on this technology and are applying it to our semiconductor manufacturing sites, bus terminals, and underground parking lots. From 2030, we will expand its application to our suppliers and other Samsung affiliates.
