The Metal Center cooperates with the Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs to promote net-zero carbon emissions. Together with the Taiwan Screw Industry Association and the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research, the "Fastener Industry Low-Carbon Transformation Promotion Seminar" was held on February 7, focusing on explaining the EU's carbon border adjustment mechanism ( CBAM) preliminary specification, discusses the impact on the fastener industry and the government's response resources.

Deputy Minister Lin Quanneng of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Director Lian Jinzhang of the Bureau of Industry, Director Liao Taixiang of the Economic Development Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government, Chairman Cai Tujin of the Taiwan Screw Association, Chairman Weng Chaodong of Sinosteel Corporation, and Chairman Lin Renyi of the Metal Center, and other central and local representatives, and A total of more than 400 practitioners from industry-university-research units conducted online and offline discussions.

Lin Quanneng, deputy director of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, said in the briefing that the fastener industry has made considerable contributions to my country's economic development. Carbon neutrality and net zero are international trends. Sinosteel and Metal Center have professional technology and experience. The Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs has Integrate resources to assist the industry to prepare, so that CBAM is not a crisis but a turning point, so as to enhance the international competitiveness of the fastener industry.

Chairman Lin Renyi of Metal Center also stated in the briefing that day that he will fully support the Ministry of Economic Affairs in promoting net-zero carbon reduction in the industry, and strengthen the cultivation of carbon reduction talents and the improvement of industry guidance services.

In response to the integration of carbon reduction resources by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the geographical responsibility for the settlement of the fastener industry, the Metal Center provides a one-stop service platform to assist the industry. In the explanation session, Deputy Director Zhao Jiawei and Deputy Director Wu Yongcheng how to link the fastener industry Government resources use large and small policies and industry-university-research service power to assist industry in capacity building such as carbon inventory and carbon reduction technology, and move towards the goal of low-carbon transformation.

In 2011, the Metal Center assisted a large automotive fastener manufacturer in the south, mainly through smart manufacturing to reduce carbon emissions and introduce a product carbon emission traceability system, helping the industry to reduce 153 tons of carbon emissions and save 42,000 kWh of annual electricity consumption (about 130,000 kWh) yuan) benefits.

In addition to substantial economic savings, it also allows the industry to understand the energy status of each process through the product carbon emission traceability system, improving the efficiency of decision support for investing in carbon reduction technologies; on the other hand, the system optimizes the reporting of carbon footprint activity data, which can further improve carbon The efficiency of footprint verification collection lowers the threshold for industry players to invest in product carbon footprint verification.

At present, the Metal Center is organizing a carbon reduction expert service group through production, learning, and research to assist in carbon inventory guidance and product carbon footprint tracing, including linking to ERP/MES data integration modules, capturing equipment electricity consumption and natural gas, Reaching batch-level product carbon emission information traceability and building a factory-wide carbon emission data visualization war room, the on-site industry participants expressed a high degree of interest and further understood the importance of investing in carbon reduction.

After finding the hotspots of carbon emissions in the factory, integrate smart manufacturing elements to introduce technology for process improvement and carbon reduction visual tracking.

After the explanatory meeting, dozens of fastener companies have actively asked about the net-zero carbon reduction of the fastener industry. Under the full promotion of the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ carbon reduction resources, the Metal Center will integrate resources related to net-zero carbon reduction resources and establish A complete one-stop service platform that provides a comprehensive net-zero carbon reduction solution for the industry. Through expert service groups and government resources, it conducts workshops, benchmarking enterprise sharing and practical exercises on carbon management tools, and accelerates the industry through multiple channels. Build carbon reduction energy.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs also stated that in the future, for the special budget after the epidemic, it will provide the industry with guidance budget funds on the two themes of "smartization and low carbonization". The Metal Center will assist the fastener industry to propose improvement plans, review energy-saving effects, and achieve carbon reduction goals. to increase the advantage.
