Green Energy R&D
●
With the help of an installed Cloud Monitoring System, the
daily power generation average of CPC's Linluo rooftop PV
station is 10% more than that of Pingtung County. In 2014,
CPC's Linluo rooftop PV station won the first PV Rooftop
System Award presented by the Bureau of Energy, Ministry
of Economic Affairs.
●
Installation of Rooftop PV power system on Junxiao
Road gas station in Kaohsiung City and assessment and
planning for installing 499kWp solar power system at
Linyuan petrochemical plant.
●
Developed LED lighting products of CIS for the gas station
(Certificate No.: CI745061100020 from the Bureau of
Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI), Ministry of
Economic Affairs (MOEA), applied to the CPC's gas stations.
●
Set up a high performance anticorrosion system (ISO
20340, Norsok M501), heat insulation system and a low
volatile organic compounds emission system that reduces
emissions to far below those in neighboring countries in
Asia and the regulation requirement of 420 g / L.
●
Developed LED canopy lighting for gas stations (the
Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI),
Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) Certificate No.:
CI744061100013) that was implemented at CPC
headquarters and 30 of CPC's gas stations; energy-
savings were up to 300kW.
●
Completed the development of LED lighting products for
gas station CIS signboards. Completed TAF laboratory
accreditation for the product's optical and electrical
properties, safety (CNS14335 / IEC60598-2-1) and
electromagnetic compatibility (CNS14115). Submitted
patent application for product structure and filed for the
registration of MOEA BSMI certification.
●
Completed development of solvent-free polyurea coating
system, with all relevant VOC emissions currently under
100 g/L, which are significantly lower than the 420 g/L limit
prescribed by other Asian countries.
●
Completed demonstrative application and energy
efficiency assessments for Sunlight canopy lights at the
Qingshui Service Area and Wuri gas stations. Completed
the installation and technical consultation for LED canopy
lights at Luzhou gas station.
●
Completed the compounding of asphaltene into plastics. The
asphaltene can be used as a carbon-material-dispersing
agent, enhancing the conductive characteristics of carbon-
polymer composites, such as the high temperature
elongation ratios, mechanical bending strengths, and the
uniform distribution of conductive properties.
●
Developed a continuous butanol fermentation process including
cell-immobilization by carriers, continuous feeding and
discharging systems and separation of fermentation products
by gas stripping; one patent application has been made.
●
First and second generation bioethanol processes have
been developed while the concentration of ethanol by
fermentation was up to 10%. An experimental ton-grade
cellulosic alcohol fermentation plant was constructed while
enzymes that were developed in-house that will be used
in the future to cut costs and boost capacity; three patent
applications have been made.
●
Developed the seed breeding and field trials technology for
the feedstock castor bean (Ricinus communis). The castor
bean has been improved by hybridization and one high oil-
yield and a dwarf castor hybrid strain have been developed.
●
C. orbicularis CPC1215 is found to be a candidate in
commercial and industrial algal oil production due to its
high lipid productivity, low adhesion, easy collection by
gravity sedimentation and adaptation to outdoor cultivation
under marine salinity. The application of C. orbicularis
CPC1215 could be in such fields as algae oil technology,
wastewater treatment, biological fixation of carbon dioxide,
production of cleaning products - for all of which patent
applications have been submitted.
●
Established the technology platform for producing bio-
polyacids by microbial action by using the biodiesel by-
product 'crude glycerol'.
●
Installation of trial mass production equipment and
performance testing for amorphous carbon technology.
●
Completed mass production process development as well
as the design of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) purification.
Management & Energy Research
●
Completed "Energy development strategy - analysis and
case studies".
●
Completed "Compilation of oil and gas energy outlook –
2015".
●
Completed "Compilation of oil and gas market special
reports - 2015".
The "Symposium on reform and outlook of the oil market in
2015." was held on August 26, 2015. Its purpose was to enable
the industry, government, academia and research community
to understand future trends in the global oil industry, form
a consensus on the developmental direction of domestic
economic policy and assess the future of the oil industry in the
overall energy context.
