NCKU’s Policy Development for Clean Energy Technology
At the national level, the university informs policy by engaging in high-level dialogues, such as with the Ministry of the Interior on "National Land Net-Zero," and by hosting forums like the "Towards 2050 Net-Zero" seminar to build consensus on strategic pathways. It further supports national goals by establishing a "National Carbon Neutrality Hub" to provide essential technological resources and cultivate talent. NCKU also contributes direct technical expertise through its industry-academia collaboration on offshore wind forecasting, which provides critical data for national energy planning.
At the local level, NCKU partners directly with municipalities. It co-hosts the "Tainan Low-Carbon City Conference" to help shape urban green building policies and assists the Chiayi City Government by deploying innovative AI and drone technology for precise carbon sink assessments.
Through these comprehensive efforts, spanning from central government consultation to local technological implementation, NCKU demonstrates its deep commitment to informing and supporting policymakers in advancing clean energy and sustainable development across Taiwan.
- In line with the energy transition and the national indigenous satellite program, NCKU adds a new chapter to industry-academia innovation.
NCKU collaborates with the National Space Organization and Swancor Renewable Energy on an offshore wind power forecasting project. The outcomes of this industry-academia partnership are directly translated into crucial data that enhances national energy security and the efficiency of renewable energy. It provides a significant scientific basis and technological support for Taiwan's energy transition, particularly for the policy planning and development of offshore wind power. This initiative is a prime example of the university's role in assisting the government's development of clean energy technologies.- "Towards 2050 Net-Zero" seminar
NCKU hosted the "Towards 2050 Net-Zero" seminar, creating a platform for policy communication and building consensus. The event convened leading scholars to conduct in-depth analyses of the national net-zero pathway. The insights and academic discussions from the seminar serve as a crucial reference for Taiwan's policy development in clean energy and decarbonization technologies. This highlights the university's vital role in informing and supporting the government's strategic planning for a sustainable future.- Establishing a National Carbon Neutrality Hub to Support Government's Net-Zero Policy
NCKU is leading the establishment of the "Industry Green, Low-Carbon Technology, and Talent Cultivation Hub," directly responding to the national 2050 net-zero policy. By integrating the strengths of industry, academia, and research, this hub provides essential technological support and a talent pipeline for the government's energy transition. It serves as a critical infrastructure for implementing the nation's green new deal and developing low-carbon technologies.- Minister of the Interior Visits NCKU to Foster Collaboration on National Net-Zero Talent
A high-level delegation led by Minister of the Interior Yu-Chang Lin visited NCKU for a strategic dialogue on "National Land Net-Zero." The meeting centered on national sustainable development policy, with NCKU offering its expertise in national land planning and net-zero transition strategies. By providing key policy recommendations, the university directly supports the central government in formulating a sustainable development blueprint. This exemplifies NCKU's crucial role in informing and advising on the formulation of national policies.- Hosting Low-Carbon City Conference to Assist Local Government in Policy-Making
NCKU collaborated with the Tainan City Government to host the "Tainan Low-Carbon City Conference," actively supporting the local government's development of clean energy and energy efficiency policies. Focusing on energy conservation and green buildings, the conference leveraged the university's professional research capabilities. NCKU provided crucial recommendations and strategies to help shape Tainan's urban net-zero pathway, positioning itself as a vital technical partner for the local government.- Chiayi City and NCKU Collaborate on AI Technology for a Net-Zero "Wood City" Transition
An NCKU project team, integrating experts from various fields, is collaborating with the Chiayi City Government. They are utilizing innovative AI and drone technologies to assess carbon storage, investigate green coverage areas, and survey experimental wood farms, as well as the carbon sinks of urban green spaces and wooden architecture. The geo-AI methods introduced in this partnership are designed to be scalable for application across all cities in Taiwan, contributing significantly to the nation's 2050 net-zero carbon emission goals.- Chiayi City and NCKU Collaborate on AI Technology for a Net-Zero "Wood City" Transition
The “2050 Net Zero Emissions” goal, describing it as an intergenerational, interdisciplinary, and international transformation project—one of Taiwan’s most vital national development plans.We look forward to deepening our exchanges with Australia, exploring potential collaborations, and turning our shared vision into concrete actions. Together, we can promote the development of net zero carbon emissions and pave the way for a sustainable future.
