Renewable Energy is created by converting fossil fuels or by converting recyclable energy including solar energy, hydropower, geothermal heat, and bio-organisms. As renewable energy is a desirable solution for fossil fuel depletion and environmental issues, various advanced countries are pushing ahead with R&D and distribution policies regarding renewable energy. Currently, the second Chang-Won factory is using renewable energy. The factory uses four kinds of renewable energy including geothermal, solar-light system, Cogen system, and the solar heat system.
• Geothermal System
Cooling water is the product of this system, in which hot water runs into the ground and is circulated back to be used as cooling water again. Generating capacity : 35 kw/h
• Solar-Energy System
This system generates electricity from infinite and pollution-free solar energy, by using solar cells.
Generating capacity : 1kw/h
• Cogen System
This supplies warm water after generating electricity using LNG.
Generating capacity : 30kw/h
• Solar Heat System
This supplies hot water using heat absorbed in a solar heat condenser. It is connected to the formerly installed Cogen system's warm water tank.
