LS Cable & System, LS Marine Solution Showcase Green Power Grid and Recycling Technologies at Climate Expo

LS Cable & System and LS Marine Solution are exhibiting advanced green technologies at the Carbon Neutrality Expo, a climate industry fair in Busan from September 16 to 18. The companies are showcasing their solutions for efficient and sustainable power transmission infrastructure, a growing necessity as renewable energy projects expand beyond major consumption centers.

At the expo, LS Cable & System is demonstrating their 500kV HVDC cable technology, while LS Marine Solution is highlighting its expertise in installing HVDC submarine cables. These technologies are crucial for connecting offshore wind farms to land, transmitting large amounts of power over long distances with minimal energy loss.

The exhibition also emphasizes the cable industry's growing focus on sustainability. LS Cable & System is showcasing cables made with recyclable PP insulation and a copper material called Cuflake®, made from recycled scrap. Additionally, the company is presenting technology for recycling XLPE insulation, a material often difficult to recycle due to its cross-linked molecular structure. Visitors can see craft products made from recycled copper, illustrating the companies' commitment to circular economy principles.

The expo also features environmental, social, and governance initiatives, such as a program where participants create keychains from discarded plastic. An LS Cable & System official stated that the energy transition requires not only expanding power grids but also considering environmental impacts throughout the entire life cycle of cable production, use, and recycling.

The companies aim to continue developing green power grid technologies and resource recycling capabilities to contribute to sustainable power infrastructure.
