Tainan’s Guantian is one of the largest producers of water chestnuts in Taiwan, and more than 90% of chestnuts shells are abandoned for open burning. The team led by Professor Hung-ping Lin solved this issue by turning waste shells into biochar, a renewable and green fuel.

Our Multi-Fuel and Circulating Materials Demonstration Base is the exploration field that provides industrial technology development experiments, professional talent training, and student practical learning experiences. In the demonstration base, there is only an industrial-grade test furnace in Taiwan, which can be carried out for the combustion or gasification process of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels.

Our Magic School of Green Technologies (MSGT) was selected as one of the World’s Greenest Green Buildings and the first energy-saving and zero-carbon building in Taiwan. This green building results in energy savings of 65% and carbon emissions reduction of 52% compared to conventional buildings. It has a leaf-like solar panel on the roof, shaped like a leaf and decorated with a huge model ladybug, whose orientation can be adjusted to produce more electricity.
