NTUST's Policy Development for Clean Energy Technology
1. Engaging in National Green Energy and Climate Policy Dialogue

NTUST co-organized the "Youth Climate Action Series for Universities and Colleges" with the Ministry of Environment under the theme "Data, Technology and Civic Action: Cross-disciplinary Co-creation toward Sustainable Cities." Nearly 130 students and external participants joined the event to explore how data and technology can support climate governance and public policy discussions. In October 2026, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering hosted the National Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Conference, inviting 11 experts from the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research, the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), the CPC Green Technology Research Institute and other organizations. Topics ranged from domestic and international hydrogen policy to low-carbon hydrogen certification and the deployment of hydrogen refueling stations, with more than 200 representatives from industry, academia and research institutes attending.

In research, Professor Mei H.C. Ho of the Graduate Institute of Technology Management leads the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) funded project "Decarbonization and Sustainable Innovation: Policy, Energy Technology and Industrial Collaboration Networks" (2025–2028), which analyzes the direction of decarbonization policy and technology development, with a focus on the links between hydrogen industry technologies and regional policy. Dr. Jui-Chu Lin of the Center for Interdisciplinary Innovation and International Chinese Language leads the "Decision Support System for Geothermal Energy Governance" (2026–2027), which addresses the governance and institutional challenges of geothermal development in Taiwan and cultivates the talent needed to advance energy policy.

2. Research and Development of Key Green Energy and Energy Storage Technologies

The NTUST Sustainable Electrochemical Energy Development Center (SEED Center), directed by Chair Professor Bing-Joe Hwang, focuses on battery energy storage and hydrogen conversion technologies and brings together 33 professors from NTUST and partner institutions as well as international advisors. In November 2025, the center hosted the International Forum on Sustainable Electrochemical Energy, which examined challenges facing solid-state batteries such as ionic conductivity, interfacial stability and manufacturing cost. The team has also developed a process that produces hydrogen from industrial iodine waste liquid instead of conventional water electrolysis, using roughly half the electricity of water electrolysis while recovering iodine resources.

In hydrogen and net-zero technologies, the team of Professor Chen-Hao Wang of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering developed an atmospheric-pressure, low-energy electrochemical technology that separates methane to produce hydrogen, winning the 2025 FutureTech Award organized by the NSTC and partner agencies. In 2026, the all-solid-state battery technology of the teams led by Bing-Joe Hwang and Chen-Jui Huang, and the carbon dioxide capture and hydrogen purification membranes developed by Tai-Shung Chung's team, also won awards at the International Net-Zero Emission Technology Competition. In grid integration, Associate Professor Chien-Hung Liu of the Department of Electrical Engineering studies grid stability and coordinated microgrid control under high shares of renewable energy, while the Center for Power Electronic Technologies (CPET), led by Distinguished Professor Huang-Jen Chiu, develops high-power-density power conversion technologies with NSTC support.

3. Campus Net-Zero and Energy Conservation Demonstration

NTUST has incorporated sustainable development into its mid- to long-term institutional development plan, setting the targets of "50% carbon neutrality by 2030 and 100% carbon neutrality by 2049." The university upgrades its high-voltage power distribution equipment, air conditioning and lighting year by year, introduces temperature control, remote control and sensor technologies, and has installed solar photovoltaic systems and elevator energy regeneration equipment. These measures reduced carbon emissions by about 219 tonnes in 2023, and NTUST received the 2024 National Sustainable Development Award. In April 2025, the university announced its "Net-Zero Declaration" and launched a carbon inventory system co-developed with Shuoda Systems through industry-academia collaboration.

NTUST was also selected as the first university in northern Taiwan under Taiwan Power Company's "University Energy Conservation and Power Resilience Program." At its Huaxia Campus, the university completed Taiwan's first urban campus microgrid, integrating solar photovoltaics, energy storage, backup power generation and a smart energy management system. In normal operation, the microgrid shifts load from peak to off-peak hours to improve energy efficiency; during disasters, it can supply power to an emergency shelter.

4. Cultivating Green Energy and Sustainability Talent

NTUST offers an average of 1,500 courses each year covering SDGs and University Social Responsibility (USR) content, with approximately 50,000 course enrollments. The College of Industry-Academia Innovation partnered with Delta Electronics (Thailand) to launch a master's degree program for international students; the first cohort admitted 18 Thai students to programs including the Graduate Institute of Energy and Sustainability Technology. In December 2025, with funding from the Ministry of Education, NTUST established the "Smart Electric Vehicle Powertrain Technology Talent Cultivation Base," which was inaugurated with the Minister of Economic Affairs in attendance. NTUST also formed a four-university Smart Electric Vehicle Alliance with Ming Chi University of Technology, National Yunlin University of Science and Technology and Kun Shan University.
