Announcement of the Enactment of '1 Type of KS in Carbon Neutral CCS Field'

- Development and Presentation of Standards conforming to International Standards for the Transportation of Carbon Dioxide Ships -

The Korea Gas Safety Corporation (President & CEO Gyurnggoog Bahk, hereinafter referred to as KGS) developed one type of KS in the field of Carbon dioxide Capture, transportation, and Storage(CCS), and announced it in advance through the Korea Agency for Technology and Standards(KATS).

The standard announced this time is 'Shipping of Carbon Dioxide', which provides technical guidelines for domestic manufacturing-based companies to transport carbon dioxide safely and efficiently. Through this, KGS expects that the standard will greatly contribute to strengthening safety management and achieving carbon neutrality in the carbon dioxide transport process.

The standard announced is finally announced by KATS after collecting opinions from related parties for 60 days. The current standard can be viewed in the KS pre-announcement column of the e-National Standards Certification (https://standard.go.kr ), and review opinions can be registered on the website.

Meanwhile, KGS is regularly conducting a study on the demand for standard development in CCS through its website (https://www.kgs.or.kr ) and hopes that related companies will actively participate in developing and supporting standards necessary for domestic industries.

Until now, KGS has established 11 types(68.8%) out of the 16 international standards in the CCS field as a standard development cooperation organization, and has established one type as a unique standard. In order to revitalize the CCS business, KGS announced that it will do its best to develop and manage appropriate standards by first selecting international standards necessary for domestic industries.
