Promoting opportunities for cooperation in applying biohydrogen technology in industry (Part 2)
Continue the business trip to promote international cooperation activities on green transformation solutions for the business sector In Taiwan, on the morning of December 13 the GREEN IN delegation visited and worked at the International Industrial Research Center (ITRI). ITRI ββis a leading technology research institute in Taiwan and the region, established in 12. ITRI's experts have shared carbon capture technology using absorbents and is currently being implemented in experiments at the Taiwan Electric Power Company. This is one of Taiwan's major emission units, the application of CO2023 capture technology contributes to minimizing the impact on the environment and climate. In addition, ITRI's team of experts also developed technology to produce methanol, methane and PU plastic from CO2 were captured using a number of different catalysts. This is a potential solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for industries such as iron and steel, petrochemical refining, electricity production, etc. Currently, both technologies are ready for commercialization, however production costs are a major obstacle that needs to be resolved to develop the technology.
On the afternoon of the same day, GREEN IN's delegation visited Kaori Company - a company with more than 30 years of experience in manufacturing high-quality and advanced heat exchange equipment. The company is also very concerned about environmental protection, climate and energy efficiency. Currently, Kaori is focusing on R&D and distributing products in the field of green energy towards reducing emissions for businesses. Some typical products produced and distributed by Kaori on the market include heat exchangers with high safety and thermal efficiency; providing cooling systems for data centers; .... The company is also researching carbon capture technology to create black carbon particles as raw materials to produce new materials. Currently, the Company is researching and developing hydrogen production technology (Reformed Methanol Fuel cell - RMFC). This system uses the gasification method (reforming) to produce hydrogen from water and methanol, then the hydrogen is filtered and fed into a fuel cell to generate electricity. The system was piloted in a mountainous area in Taiwan.
In addition, Kaori is also researching and developing a number of other hydrogen processing and production technologies such as pyrolytic cracking of mixed organic solvents; filtering and recycling hydrogen from by-products or exhaust gases from the electronics and chemical industries (for example, reusing silicon waste, etc.). These technologies promise to promote a faster and easier green transition.
At the end of the business trip, the GREEN IN Working Group and partners agreed to share information and expand cooperation opportunities in future activities to support Vietnamese enterprises in green production towards Net Zero.
