About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

LG Chem constructed and operates a 1,000-ton scale DRM (Dry Reforming of Methane) pilot plant at its Daesan site using proprietary CCU technology to convert CO2 and methane into useful chemicals, reducing process emissions at its own chemical operations. This is part of broader CCU initiatives including a joint demonstration with POSCO. Evidence: "In November 2022, LG Chem established a DRM facility and developed an essential catalyst for transition of carbon dioxide based on the company’s proprietary technology. ... In 2023, LG Chem constructed a 1,000 ton-scale of pilot plant in Daesan plant." — https://blog.lgchem.com/en/2023/09/07_drm/
