On July 29, the Korea Environment Corporation (KECO), a public agency under South Korea’s Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment, signed an agreement with the Korea Auto Recycling Business Association and Energy Eco Solution to launch a pilot program for the safe transport and storage of used batteries. The signing took place at the Metropolitan Future Waste Resource Collection Center in Siheung, Gyeonggi Province. The pilot applies, for the first time in the field, a cryogenic freezing technology that had been under development as a government R&D project.

We believe the recovery of the Earth begins with the recovery of the sea. And we believe healing the sea is not a matter of declarations, but of engineering: the technology to observe and understand the ocean, and the technology to circulate the energy we use, at sea and on land, more cleanly.
