STEP 01
Sourcing and research
We continuously study the properties and blending behavior of bio-oils, and hold esterification capability in-house.
ISCC EU Certified · Trader
Turning what is discardedinto future energy.
We reconnect the residues and by-products scattered across industry through data, technology and operating systems — securing the feedstock, then designing and supplying to the specification our customers require.

How we work
We do not sell a product.
We build the specification.
Rather than pushing a single product, we accumulate property and blending data across a range of bio-feedstocks. When a customer brings us their requirement, we design to that specification and supply it.
STEP 02
Customer requirement
Customers across chemicals, energy and mobility bring us the conditions the bio-oil they need has to meet.
STEP 03
Design and supply
We design a bio-oil optimized to that specification and supply it. The know-how accumulated stays protected as portfolio.
Why MODU Trading
We prove it through connection and verification, not scale.
From farms in Mongolia to refining assets in Malaysia and buyers in Europe — all within one certified supply chain.
Global sourcing network
Local partner structures across Mongolia, Malaysia, Vietnam and Singapore let us secure feedstock directly.
Custom bio-oil design
Property and greenhouse-gas data are accumulated per feedstock, so blends can be designed to a customer's specification.
ISCC EU certified
Our ISCC EU Trader certification under RED III allows compliant trade with buyers who require EU specifications.
Circular economy platform
We design the structures that return residues to feedstock. MODU serves as secretariat of the Korea Sustainable Circular Alliance.
Feedstock portfolio
The range of feedstock is the range of what we can design.
We do not depend on a single feedstock. Property and greenhouse-gas data are accumulated for each one and used as the basis for blend design.

Cardanol (CNSL) refining
Equipment tenderIn collaboration with Jaewon Frontier Sdn. Bhd. at Sendayan Techvalley, Malaysia, we are preparing cardanol production at a scale of 3,000 MT per month, with offtake under discussion with global majors.
Bio-lubricant R&D
R&D in progressWe are developing a lubricant base oil through ester synthesis from medium-chain fatty acid oil, with hydrolytic stability as the core point of differentiation.
ISCC-certified trading
First shipment doneMongolian inedible tallow is traded within the ISCC EU certified supply chain, broadening our trading base with global biofuel buyers.
Mongolian upstream chain
GroundworkA tripartite MOU has been signed with farm partners in eastern Mongolia, laying the groundwork for local crushing around HEAR and LEAR rapeseed varieties.
2026 → 2030
We do not sell oil.
We build the future of bio-carbon.
We start in trading, move down into processing, and rise into formulation — each stage building the assets the next one needs. By 2030 our aim is to be the reference point for bio-oil supply in Asia.
From the CEO
I took my first steps in this industry more than thirty years ago at Samsung C&T's chemicals division. Since then I have worked through ExxonMobil, Methanex and Interchem Singapore, and served as the Korean sole agent for gasoline components on behalf of a global top-tier commodity trading house.
Standing at the center of the energy and chemical industry for that long, I saw the benefits it brought. I also stood closer than most to the burden it placed on the environment. My own turn began with that uncomfortable question.
In 2016 I moved into the environmental business myself, to build a healthier industrial structure and a sustainable flow of resources. That is how MODU Trading's circular-resource and renewable-energy platform came to be.
MODU Trading reconnects resources that would otherwise be discarded and converts them into new energy and value. From industrial waste streams to bio-oils and upcycled materials, we work to bind separated resources into a single circular ecosystem, and to help build a sustainable future for Asia.
As a responsible industry professional, and as an environmental entrepreneur, I will continue to build the technology, the operations and the partnerships that a better tomorrow requires.
