Korean SKIET’s Polish factory pushes for 100% renewable energy
SK IE Technology, an SK Innovation subsidiary producing lithium-ion battery separators (LiBS), announced on April 28 that it will use eco-friendly power at its plant in Poland, which is scheduled to start mass-production in the third quarter of 2021.
SKIET signed a contract to receive eco-friendly energy from Tauron, a local power company in Poland.
Since the beginning of 2021, SKIET has been using eco-friendly electricity 100 percent at all its business sites in Korea. It claims to be the first Korean company to attain 100 percent renewable energy.
The company went a step further by making its plant in Poland switch to renewable energy 100 percent. It is planning to steadily introduce eco-friendly electricity at overseas bases.
