In Pornainen, Finland, a massive sand battery built from repurposed crushed soapstone became operational this June, establishing a new milestone in global energy storage innovation. This groundbreaking system converts surplus solar and wind power into thermal energy reaching 500°C, and store it long-term in a highly efficient insulated tower. The stored thermal energy not only supports district heating throughout the town but also extends to certain industrial processes, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Results include complete elimination of oil dependency, 60% reduction in wood consumption, conversion of biomass boilers to backup systems, and nearly 70% decrease in overall carbon…

The 2025 Osaka Expo (Expo 2025), themed “Designing Future Society for Our Lives,” focuses on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Built around five key pillars—People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership—it introduces three strategic directions: Green Vision, Action Plan, and Sustainable Procurement, embedding sustainability in every aspect. Expo 2025 achieved ISO 20121 sustainable event management certification in 2024, underscoring its strong environmental responsibility. Beyond showcasing cutting-edge technologies, it integrates circular economy and net-zero practices into architecture, energy, food, and resource use, positioning itself as one of the world’s most iconic showcases of sustainability in action. Expo 2025’s Path to…

In today’s era of increasingly severe extreme weather, combating climate change has become far more complex than simply “reducing carbon emissions.” The air conditioners and refrigerators we use daily actually contain a hidden gas with global warming potential far exceeding that of carbon dioxide – Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Unlike ozone-depleting CFCs, HFCs have Global Warming Potential higher than CO₂ – making them climate change “silent killers.” To align with the emission reduction efforts of over 160 countries worldwide, Taiwan’s Ministry of Environment launched the HFCs Management Regulation in February, effective July 1st. All HFC imports/exports now require prior approval and are…

As a major driver of the global economy, the fashion industry is also one of the highest carbon-emitting sectors. Statistics show that the fashion industry accounts for 10% of annual global carbon emissions, and without decisive action, this figure could rise to 26% by 2050, placing enormous pressure on climate change efforts. In 2018, the United Nations launched the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action, setting targets to reduce emissions by 30% by 2030 and achieve net-zero by 2050 in order to pave the way toward a sustainable future.The fashion industry operates on a linear economic model, with most garments…

In the era of pursuing net-zero carbon emissions, waste-to-energy has become a core strategy for resource management. The Ministry of Economic Affairs officially released the SRF (Solid Recovered Fuel) White Paper in April this year, integrating domestic industry conditions with international experience to clearly outline policy directions for promoting SRF technology. The goal is to create innovative waste solutions that balance environmental protection and economic benefits through standardized management, technological applications, and market mechanisms. From “Treatment” to “Reuse”: Unlocking New Circular Economy Opportunities SRF is not just an end-of-pipe treatment option, but a new industrial breakthrough trend for resource “reuse”…
