In order to assist manufacturers reduce production costs, environmental issues and industrial safety issues from the heat demand, the integration of energy and resources in industrial parks has been promoted by the Industrial Development Bureau since 2009. As of the end of July, 2015, the equivalent of 2.31 million metric tons of energy and 250,000 metric tons of resources have been saved. Eleven regional steam supply centers using new biomass/renewable energy were built to reduce reduce annual carbon emissions by 550,000 metric tons, creating economic benefits amounting to NT$2.1 billion per year.
By promoting the integration of energy and resources by the Industrial Development Bureau, the ecological cycle link has been formed in industrial parks.
Factories can reduce the cost of energy and resource production and reduce regional pollution emissions by using waste heat from outside, wastewater recycling and renewable resources, transforming industrial parks into eco-industrial areas with high energy and resource productivity.
