“To help foster a hydrogen society. We plan to use hydrogen fuel cell power generation technology as an energy source at all of our worksites over the mid-to-long term,” says Ho Sung Song.
Partnerships
Kia is collaborating with environmental protection organizations to improve the world. The two are working together to ensure Kia’s ecological impact is beneficial, aiming for a more sustainable future for everyone.
“We acknowledge that we are part of the problem. But we believe that we can also play a big part in the solution,” states Ho Sung Song.
The Ocean Cleanup
Kia has teamed up with The Ocean Cleanup to fight ocean plastic pollution. Thanks to their Cleanup System002, their efforts successfully removed 55 tons of plastic from the Pacific Ocean in August 2023. Kia plans to recycle this plastic, and some of it will be used in manufacturing upcoming vehicles. Additionally, the project installed devices at river mouths to prevent plastic from reaching the ocean.
Kia is committed to creating a better tomorrow by emphasizing sustainability. Its goal is to power manufacturing and vehicles entirely with electricity or other carbon-neutral methods. Moreover, it actively works with environmental cleanup efforts to ensure a brighter, more eco-friendly future.
