Low carbon energy tracking in National Cheng Kung University (NCKU)
In 2025, total power generation within the Taipower system (excluding wheeling and direct supply) reached 252.44 billion kWh. Thermal power accounted for 81.3% of the mix, comprising coal (26.6%), oil (1.4%), and natural gas (53.3%). Renewable energy accounted for 12.7% (including conventional hydro as well as waste and biogas from cogeneration), nuclear power 1.2%, cogeneration 3.3% (excluding waste and biogas), pumped-storage hydro 1.2%, and battery energy storage systems (BESS) 0.3%.
In 2024, NCKU established Taiwan’s first ‘Carbon Neutrality Next-Generation Education Base’ to advance low-carbon energy tracking and applications. The base integrates resources from four other universities in Tainan, focusing on key technologies such as energy management, energy conservation and carbon reduction, carbon capture, and reuse. It also established five practical field sites to provide technology validation and carbon inventory tracking mechanisms, thereby implementing carbon reduction planning on campus and across industries. Beyond promoting research outcomes, NCKU collaborates with enterprises to develop decarbonization pathways, demonstrating how higher education institutions can realize net-zero transformation through education, R&D, and industry linkages, highlighting NCKU’s concrete actions in low-carbon energy tracking and sustainable governance.
