To advocate for public awareness of global warming and climate change issues, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) conducts local educational programs and promotional activities each year focused on the impacts of climate change. By bringing together talents from various fields, we explore the best ways to coexist with the environment.
NCKU’s Commitment to Carbon Neutrality
NCKU is committed to actively promoting carbon neutrality, recognizing that addressing climate change is a shared responsibility of society as a whole. Through education and research, NCKU seeks to enhance public understanding of and participation in climate action. The university has set clear targets and adopted an ambitious policy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and achieve carbon neutrality by 2041:
⬧ By 2024, reduce GHG emissions to the 2010 level.
⬧ By 2029, reduce GHG emissions to the 2000 level.
⬧ By 2031, reduce the carbon footprint by half.
NCKU Carbon Neutrality Center Collaborates with Enterprises to Implement ESG Practices and Move toward Net-Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050.
In 2024, NCKU launched Taiwan’s first “Net-Zero Carbon New Generation Training Base,” integrating resources from four local universities to advance energy management, carbon reduction, and carbon capture technologies. The base features five practical training sites and has trained over 300 students and 51 instructors through the “Carbon Neutral Technology and Management Program.” By collaborating with enterprises, NCKU demonstrates how higher education can link education, R&D, and industry to achieve net-zero transformation and promote sustainable governance.
2024 Net-Zero Emissions Technology Award: Nine NCKU Faculty-Student and Academic-Research Teams Recognized.
At the 2024 Net Zero Tech International Competition, nine teams from NCKU won awards, including third place in the International category and the Hua Nan Bank Net-Zero Hope Award in the Main Competition. Projects focused on carbon capture, hydrogen production, energy storage, and energy efficiency. Notable works included “Novel Process Design and Validation for Decreasing CO2 Emission from Cement Production Decarbonization” and “Achieving Net-Zero Carbon Emissions: Innovating Biological Wastewater Treatment Technology.”
