EcoPro HN will supply a centralized greenhouse gas reduction system (RCS) to Samsung E&A. The contract is valued at 33 billion won, and the equipment will be implemented at domestic semiconductor companies.
On July 27, EcoPro HN announced through a public disclosure that it has signed a contract with Samsung E&A for the supply of RCS. The Regenerative Catalytic System (RCS) is a large-scale greenhouse gas reduction system designed to process perfluorocarbons (PFCs) generated during semiconductor manufacturing.
PFCs have a global warming potential (GWP) thousands to tens of thousands of times greater than CO2, making them a critical environmental issue that must be addressed in semiconductor production.
EcoPro HN is recognized for its technological expertise in the RCS field, based on its catalyst-based greenhouse gas reduction technology. While traditional thermal decomposition systems require ultra-high temperature processes of 1,300 to 1,400 degrees Celsius for greenhouse gas reduction, EcoPro HN's RCS can decompose greenhouse gases at approximately 750 to 800 degrees Celsius, resulting in about a 95% reduction in energy consumption.
In line with the trend of domestic semiconductor companies expanding their global production bases, EcoPro HN plans to diversify its customer base to include overseas semiconductor firms, particularly in North America.
An EcoPro HN official stated, "This order reaffirms our unique greenhouse gas reduction technology and the reliability of our equipment. We will continue to diversify our customer base in both the domestic and global semiconductor markets based on differentiated technology."
Meanwhile, EcoPro HN is the only eco-friendly total solution company in South Korea engaged in air pollution prevention, greenhouse gas reduction, and materials for secondary batteries and semiconductors. It was established in 2021 following a spin-off from EcoPro's environmental division, which began in 1998.
