MA-126 conidia were collected from solid fermentation on a mass production scale and a WP formulation was prepared. Good biocontrol effects against diamond-back moths, lychee stink bugs and bee mites were demonstrated in field tests. Deposit of standard stock isolated in the designated institution, toxicity assay and physical analysis were all well executed to meet the regulations of technology transfer and commercial product registration.
Sustainability | AgricultureOur research team has developed a standardized process for post-harvest cleaning of fruits and vegetables by using microbubble technology. Microbubbles with a size of 0.1mm (10-4to10-6) are generated to provide a uniform coating on the items. These microbubbles release strong mechanical forces, redox potential, and cell disruption, endowing water with cleaning, disinfection, and oil removal abilities when they burst. By combining with various gases and liquids, these microbubbles can enhance gas solubility and increase the concentration of gases in water through a larger surface area. This technology significantly increases the oxygen content in water, which is utilized to address the current issue of pest infestation, particularly shell pests, in fruits and vegetables in our country. The introduction of microbubble water cleaning enhances pest removal effects, addressing the pest problems currently faced on the surface of fruit and vegetable products.
Sustainability | AgricultureIn order to provide a real-time volatile organic compounds canister management tool for the users and managers, a respirator waring device for replacement timing of volatile organic compounds canister has been developed that is capable of the following: (1) detecting breakthrough condition of canister; (2) reducing carbon dioxide effect of the measurement by installing between the canister and the mask respirator; (3) not increasing the burden on the user's breathing; (4) defining canister breakthrough conditions; and (5) providing vibration, LED indicator warning functions, and operating for more than 8 hours. Respiratory protective equipment is the last line of defense to protect workers. However, most respiratory protective equipment cannot warn users and managers that the filter material has reached saturation, prompting managers or users to replace new respiratory protective equipment or canister. In order to provide a beneficial useful real-time management tool for users, the device integrates a miniaturized gas detector and an alarm device, and constructs a volatile organic compounds canister measurement module is constructed to monitor the breakthrough conditions of the respiratory protective equipment in real time. When the canister is saturated, the user is reminded to replace it, which improves the convenience and safety of workers using respiratory protective equipment and meets the practical needs of special fieldsspecial/particular areas or fields.

Sustainability | Green Energy ＆ EnvironmentCSC mainly planned 3 technology cores in the development of low carbon blast furnace technologies, including (1) adding low carbon charge; (2) hydrogen-rich gas injection; (3) gas CO2 capture and modification, in which the first two items are short-term and mid-term implementation goals. For low carbon charge, the Company has successfully developed technology for adding reduced iron in blast furnace, and successfully added 150 kg of reduced iron pellets to each tonne of hot metal during testing. Due to the significant carbon reduction effects, 50 kg of reduced iron is regularly added to each tonne of hot metal at #3 blast furnace with consideration to the production volume of reduced iron. With regard to hydrogen-rich gas injection, the Company plans to inject hydrogen-rich COG into the blast furnace before it obtains green hydrogen, and will use hydrogen to replace coal to reduce carbon emissions from the blast furnace. CSC has referenced overseas cases and technologies and successfully designed a blast furnace simulator for multiple layers of high temperature materials during hydrogen-rich operations, which can be used to evaluate the reaction characteristics from the material surface to the dripping charge. The equipment completed cold and hot commissioning at the foreign equipment manufacturer's plant before shipment in October 2022, and system installation has completed. It is worth noting that CSC utilizes the capabilities of academia by jointly forming a research team, and submitted an application to the NSTC for the development of low carbon blast furnace technology. The application was approved by the NSTC as an Advanced Technology Industry-Academia Collaboration Project, and was implemented in November 2022 with the 3 core technologies described above, engaging in 16 research projects.

Sustainability | AgricultureThermal power plants in Taiwan use seawater electrolysis to produce chlorine to prevent marine organisms from being attached to circulating water cooling system, which produces hydrogen as a by-product. So far, the hydrogen is directly emitted into the atmosphere; however, it may be used as fuel source for fuel cell power generation system – a potential clean power generation technology. According to the research results, the purity of hydrogen produced by seawater electrolysis is ≥ 50%, and the capacity is about 100m3/hr. However, a small number of gas impurities must be purified to avoid damage to the fuel cell system. Based on the field measurements at a thermal power plant, after treatment and purification, the hydrogen from seawater electrolysis can be fed to a fuel cell for power generation. It is estimated that the entire seawater electrolysis at the thermal power plant has potential to be used for more than 100 kW fuel cell generation systems. If the application can be realized and widely adopted by local thermal power plants, it will help advance power generation, reduce carbon emissions, and thus protect the environment.

Sustainability | Green Energy ＆ EnvironmentThe litchi fruit borer (Conopomorpha sinensis) is the major pest in the litchi industry. By turning on LED lights of a specific wavelength at night, the oviposition rate of the litchi fruit borer can be suppressed to less than 2%, reducing the use of pesticides during the fruit development stages by 20-75%. This not only saves costs of manual pesticide application but also enhances consumer food safety. This technology has already been implemented in litchi-producing regions such as Pingtung, Kaohsiung, Taichung, and Hsinchu.
