Promote opportunities for cooperation in applying biohydrogen technology in industry
Feng Jia University, Taiwan is the first stop of the GREEN IN working group in international cooperation activities on green transformation solutions for the business sector. On the morning of December 12, 12 at the APEC Research Center for Advanced Biological Hydrogen Technology (ACABT), the delegation discussed and worked with Professor Huang - ChiH LU and Professor Shu Yii WU - director operates APEC – ACABT.
At the meeting, Professor LU introduced to us the technology to produce Hydorgen and Methane gas from waste using fermentation and bacteria (agricultural by-products and industrial wastewater). Beside listening to the presentation, the delegation also get to visit the laboratory and witness the demonstration model at the school. These solutions are also being implemented at businesses in Taiwan that the delegation will visit in the following days. Professor WU shared about the activities of APEC - ACABT, this is a cooperation forum for researchers from many universities of countries in the APEC community. The forum includes many working groups on technology and biological hydrogen production as well as promoting capacity-building cooperation with businesses and young researchers. The two sides agreed that GREEN IN will join the business partnership group with APEC - ACABT to support the Vietnamese business community in accessing appropriate advanced technologies.
In the afternoon of the same day, the group visited Yuarn Niring company, which is researching and manufacturing hydrogen air compressors. From the experience of distributor, warranty, and maintenance of air compressors of Atlas Copco Group, the company has boldly invested in researching hydrogen air compressors in container form for easy transportation. The @350 bar hydrogen air compressor product has reached the commercialization stage. The company is also researching a new generation of hydrogen compressors up to @700 bar. This is a solution that contributes to solving the problem of storing and transporting hydrogen in the future.
Also during the business trip, the delegation visited the first offshore wind farm built in Taiwan 3 years ago. This wind farm is built 3km from the shore with 200 turbines installed and operated. This project is implemented in many phases with an expected capacity of up to 4000MW. This project only imports generators from Europe, while other equipment is manufactured in Taiwan.
Tomorrow the delegation continues to visit research facilities and businesses deploying hydrogen applications in Taiwan.
