Kolon Unveils Eco-Friendly Energy Education Using Hydrogen Truck

First Class Held at Ilsin Elementary School in Bucheon

Experience in Energy Production and Carbon Emissions

A Total of 165,300 Participating Students to Date

Kolon Group's nonprofit foundation, "Flower and The Little Prince," announced on the 30th that it has launched "Mobile Eco Longlong to the NEXT," a mobile eco-friendly energy education program utilizing a hydrogen truck.

On the 29th, at Ilsin Elementary School in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, students participated in an experiential class to learn about the principles of hydrogen energy outside a vehicle. Kolon

This program utilizes a specially manufactured hydrogen truck to allow children to experience the relationship between energy production, carbon emissions, and the global environment. The first class was held on the 29th at Ilsin Elementary School in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province.

Students learned about the principles of hydrogen energy outside the vehicle and experienced various power generation methods such as thermal, wind, and solar power inside the truck. Afterwards, they used "energy and carbon tokens" to select power generation methods and allocate energy throughout different parts of a city, simulating the process of managing the Earth.

Depending on the choices made by the students, both the amount of energy produced and the level of carbon emissions would change, and the results were reflected in real time in environmental indicators for the planet. This allowed students to intuitively recognize the environmental impact of different methods of producing and using energy.

"Mobile Eco Longlong" is Kolon's eco-friendly energy education social contribution program, launched in April 2009. To date, it has been conducted at approximately 2,430 schools across the country, with 5,700 sessions and a cumulative total of 165,300 participating students.

Kolon also operates the "Eco Longlong Cube," an eco-friendly energy exhibition and experience center in Magok, Seoul and Gimcheon, North Gyeongsang Province.

A Kolon representative stated, "This is a program where children go beyond simply learning about energy and get to experience running the planet themselves. We hope that by observing how their choices lead to changes on Earth, this will serve as an opportunity for them to think about a sustainable future."
