Renewable Energy Sources in Campus 

        National Chiayi University currently utilizes two types of renewable energy: solar and wind power. Solar panels have been installed on the rooftops of suitable buildings across all four campuses for solar power generation. The buildings with installed solar panels account for 65.6% of the total area suitable for solar panel installation on campus. In addition, the Department of Mechanical and Energy Engineering rooftop is equipped with sun-tracking solar panels and wind power generation units (6000 kWh). Besides being used for green energy education courses, the installations generated approximately 4,174,650 kWh of electricity in 2023. The Department of Applied Chemistry is concurrently developing an AEM stack cell (750L/h) water electrolysis hydrogen production system. It will convert the excess hydrogen from the experiments into electricity using fuel cells. A total of 50 units have been installed across the campus, and a Green Hydrogen House has been established, utilizing solar energy as the power source for water electrolysis. This system can increase the annual green electricity output by 91,250 kWh.  The Department of Wood Materials and Design uses thinned wood from the campus forest and pruned branches from campus trees to produce wood pellets for combustion and power generation (2500 kWh). The production scale is currently small, but there are plans to expand and assist in processing orchard wood waste from Chiayi County and the City. All green electricity is used for various venue facilities.
