SK Energy plans to expand the number of partner companies and training subjects to more than 50 each by 2026. Through this, it aims to create a total economic value of 4 billion KRW over five years and take the lead in enhancing the competitiveness of the domestic refining and petrochemical industry.

An SK Energy official stated, "Ulsan CLX has set a financial story to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2050, promoting greening of the production process and greening of production products," adding, "We will strengthen the co-growth system with Ulsan’s refining and petrochemical companies centered on the Industrial Transition Joint Training Center."
