AEM stack cell (650L/h) water electrolysis hydrogen production system / Green Hydrogen House
Wood processing and wood pellet production facility
National Chiayi University (NCYU) has actively implemented four types of renewable energy systems—solar power, wind power, green hydrogen energy, and biomass energy (wood pellets)—across its four campuses to achieve energy diversification and carbon neutrality.
1. Solar Power (4,170,501 kWh/year) – Rooftop and ground-mounted PV systems have been installed on suitable buildings across the Lantan, Minxiong, Sinmin, and Linsen campuses, covering 65.6% of available rooftop areas. These installations are connected to the Energy Management System (EMS) for real-time power monitoring and optimization. (Link 1 and 2)
2. Wind Power (6,500 kWh/year) – The Department of Mechanical and Energy Engineering operates small vertical-axis wind turbines combined with sun-tracking solar panels, providing hybrid renewable energy for laboratory and educational purposes. (Link 3)
3. Green Hydrogen Energy (90,050 kWh/year) – The AEM stack cell (750 L/h) system developed by the Department of Applied Chemistry produces hydrogen via solar-powered electrolysis. The hydrogen is stored and reconverted into electricity using fuel cells in the Green Hydrogen House, contributing to the “solar–hydrogen–electricity” circular energy loop for aquaculture and greenhouse facilities. (Link 4)
4. Biomass Energy (3,500 kWh/year) – The Department of Wood Materials and Design processes thinned wood and pruned branches from campus forests into wood pellets for renewable heating and electricity generation. In 2025, NCYU initiated the construction of the Biomass Zero-Waste Center, which will utilize agricultural residues, livestock manure, and forestry waste from Chiayi County to produce bioenergy and thermal power, further expanding the campus’s renewable energy network.
The total renewable energy generation across all systems reached 4,270,551 kWh in 2024, all of which are used for on-campus operations and sustainability education. These initiatives demonstrate NCYU’s commitment to a diversified clean energy strategy, aligning with SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), and advancing toward the 2045 goal of energy self-sufficiency and a near-zero-carbon campus.
Total renewable energy generated: 4,270,551 kWh (2024)
