Soohyun Kim

R&D Team Leader

About

- Since 2006, I have been dedicated to R&D and commercialization in biofuel manufacturing from inedible and waste oil (e.g., PFAD, POME oil, SBEO, brown grease, acid soap raw materials, etc.). - Currently working as R&D team leader at SK ecoprime. During my career, I have experience commercializing high-purity biodiesel production technology from low-quality raw materials using a unique, patented manufacturing method. - Recently, I have been planning to receive a doctoral degree to research the hydrogenation reaction characteristics of low-grade oil into low-carbon biofuel.
