China Petroleum and High Refinery transformed into a research zone for recycled materials | Circular Economy | Epoch Times

[Epoch Times December 26, 2021](The Epoch Times reporter Fang Jinyuan reported in Kaohsiung, Taiwan) Economic Minister Wang Meihua went to the Kaohsiung Refinery of China National Petroleum Corporation to launch the cycle technology and material innovation research and development zone on December 25. She said that the original high refinery As the core and Kaohsiung as a demonstration field, it will link up with state-owned enterprises and important manufacturers such as PetroChina, Sinosteel, and Taiwan Sugar to build a national-level innovative materials industry-university-research cooperation platform. Turning over southern Taiwan started from Kaohsiung, and building a new Taiwan started with innovative materials.

Wang Meihua said that the circular economy is one of the 5+2 industrial innovation plans. In 2018, the Executive Yuan approved the “Circular Economy Promotion Plan”, opening Taiwan to a new era of circular economy. Gao Refinery is the home of CNPC. Under the trend of circular economy, the former warehouse No. 1 was transformed into a “Powder Material Advanced Process R&D Center”, providing future renewable material source technology development and certification, and high value application in compound semiconductor materials. The industry, under the alternation of the old and the new, presents an opportunity for the industrial transformation of southern Taiwan.

He Meiyue, National Policy Advisor of the Presidential Office, said that the circular technology and material innovation research and development zone is responsible for a cross-field, cross-industry, and cross-unit cooperation model. Through industry propositions, national topic selection, platform problem solving, and new creation of problems, one stick after another Accelerate the implementation of the development of new recycling materials, promote the autonomy of high-end materials in the industry, and realize the development plan of the Great Southern Region, which will add value to my country’s recycling economy industry.

Gao City Deputy Mayor Luo Dasheng said that CNPC expects to invest nearly 6 billion yuan to build a 17-hectare “recycling technology and material innovation research and development zone” in the original administrative area of ​​Gao Refinery, which will drive 16,000 jobs. The overall configuration of the special zone integrates Banpingshan pool, preservation of old trees and cultural resources and memory of factory sites, plus MRT TOD development, transportation connectivity, and material innovation research and development. It is a new type of transformation of Taiwan’s industrial brownfields and is a semiconductor material in the south. The corridor lays the foundation.

Peng Yumin, deputy dean of the Industrial Technology Research Institute, said that in order to expand the promotion of circular economy and promote the strategic pattern, the Industrial Technology Research Institute established a Net Zero Sustainability Strategy Office to cross-domain integration of the technical energy of the whole institute, industry, government, academia, and research to develop a path to net zero sustainability. And method. Under the Science and Technology Program of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the ITRI team has been stationed in the special area to gradually move Hsinchu’s research and development energy to the south, invest in the development and application of strategic materials, and provide industry guidance and promote the recycling industry chain.

Achievements exhibition was held on the 25th, including organic, inorganic, biomass, semiconductor and other 4 major areas. Among them, organic was led by CNPC, invested in the development of advanced energy-saving and environmentally friendly catalysts, high-value applications of recyclable pitch carbon fiber composites, and carbon capture And recycling technology; inorganic is led by Sinosteel, and waste aluminum slag is converted into refractory materials, and recycled silicon carbide and aluminum nitride powder materials are used for high-value recycling in the compound semiconductor industry. Biomass is led by Taiwan Sugar. Invest in the extraction and reuse of plant materials, the high-value application of oyster shell recycling, and the application of enzyme waste reduction recycling. ◇
