Greenery, a South Korea-based climate tech company, will host a seminar and exhibition focused on the transition to low-carbon agriculture and animal husbandry at the Korea Pavilion in the Blue Zone of COP29, from November 11 to 13. The company offers a range of net-zero consulting services, including climate action planning, Life Cycle Assessments (LCA), and climate risk management.
This October, Greenery launched ENVION, an LCA software solution that provides comprehensive insights into the environmental impacts of products throughout their life cycles. ENVION is already in advanced negotiations with major global industries. Greenery also operates POPLE, a voluntary carbon credit certification platform, ensuring high standards for credit verification and seamless transactions within its marketplace.
At COP29, Greenery will present two case studies on low-carbon agriculture, highlighting innovative methods to combat climate change. The seminar, scheduled for November 12, will showcase cutting-edge solutions for agriculture’s carbon footprint reduction.
Case Study 1: Smart Farming for Methane Reduction and Water Conservation
The first case study focuses on a smart farming system developed through a flagship collaboration between South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Information Society Agency. By monitoring paddy water levels in real time, the system helps reduce methane emissions from rice paddies while conserving water, addressing two key environmental issues in agriculture.
Case Study 2: Transforming Livestock Waste into Biochar
The second case study will demonstrate how livestock waste, a significant source of methane and other greenhouse gases, can be converted into biochar—a stable, carbon-rich compound that sequesters carbon for up to 100 years. Biochar is an effective solution for reducing emissions and mitigating climate change.
Following the seminar, a panel discussion will delve into advanced technologies and strategies for reducing agriculture’s carbon footprint. Panelists include Saskia Sanders, Senior Policy Advisor at Switzerland’s Federal Office of Agriculture; Pankaj Kumam, Founder and Managing Director of Enviance; and Soojeong Myeong, Chief Research Fellow at the Korea Environment Institute.
Exhibition: Sustainable Farming Solutions
From November 11 to 13, the exhibition will feature interactive displays on sustainable farming practices, offering visitors an in-depth look at innovative solutions for low-carbon agriculture.
“The COP29 conference brings together world leaders to address global sustainability challenges,” said Yoosik Hwang, CEO of Greenery. “We’re here to show that agriculture is not just part of the climate problem—it is an essential part of the solution.”
COP29, hosted in Azerbaijan, is the latest session of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), where governments, organizations, and companies gather to drive forward the global agenda for greenhouse gas mitigation and environmental sustainability.
