POSCO Group announced on the 14th that it will participate in the '2026 Climate Industry International Expo' from the 16th to the 18th at BEXCO in Busan, showcasing its decarbonization technology capabilities and vision.
The Climate Industry International Expo is an international event co-hosted by the Ministry of Climate Energy and Environment, the International Energy Agency (IEA), and the World Bank, aimed at leading responses to the climate crisis and the transition to decarbonization. This year’s theme is 'Transformative Changes Driven by Climate Tech: A Leap Towards a Decarbonized World,' which will introduce the latest industrial trends in climate technology and discuss global cooperation for decarbonization.
Participating for the sixth time, POSCO Group will operate a unified exhibition hall featuring four companies: POSCO Holdings, POSCO, POSCO International, and POSCO E&C, under the concept 'POSCO: Opening the K-GX Ecosystem with Decarbonized Steel.'
The exhibition hall will consist of four zones: decarbonization innovation technology, core materials, zero-carbon energy, and the K-GX ecosystem.
In the decarbonization innovation technology zone, the exhibition will highlight POSCO's hydrogen reduction steelmaking technology, known as 'HyREX,' along with bridge technologies based on blast furnaces and electric furnaces, showcasing its capabilities in steel decarbonization.
The core materials zone will present key steel products that support the transition of manufacturing industries to AX and GX, including energy storage systems (ESS), data centers, physical AI, new mobility, and power infrastructure.
The zero-carbon energy zone will consolidate the group's capabilities in zero-carbon energy projects and EPC competitiveness. POSCO International will share updates on its domestic offshore wind and solar projects in line with the government's renewable energy expansion policies, while POSCO E&C will demonstrate how it is enhancing GX synergies within the group through nuclear power, small modular reactors (SMR), and high-temperature gas reactors.
The highlight of the exhibition, the K-GX ecosystem zone, will showcase POSCO Group's vision for a 'Successful Model of South Korea's Decarbonization Ecosystem.' This model is a large-scale project aimed at establishing a decarbonization cluster in the southeastern region, linked to HyREX demonstration facilities through public-private cooperation.
The southeastern region is noted for its ability to reliably supply zero-carbon energy based on abundant nuclear power and is considered an optimal location for clean hydrogen production using electrolysis facilities.
POSCO Group stated, 'We will leverage government support for decarbonization policies to complete the commercialization technology for hydrogen reduction steelmaking and lead the establishment of the southeastern cluster as a representative successful model of the K-GX industrial ecosystem based on the HyREX demonstration facilities.'
Meanwhile, the Climate Industry International Expo serves as an international platform for governments, international organizations, and companies to share the latest technologies and policies for addressing the climate crisis and achieving carbon neutrality.
