Digital transformation is already underway in industries, and artificial intelligence and net-zero carbon emissions are the two major challenges facing both the government and enterprises, crucial for Taiwan's future competitiveness. CNA's frontline reporting team provides in-depth coverage of how the government and various industries are using AI to optimize production processes and drive green innovation, witnessing another leap forward for Taiwan's industry.
(CNA reporter Kang Yi-ching, Yunlin County, 14th) - The new office building for the Yunlin County Environmental Protection Bureau is currently under construction. The bureau has planned a new 3.8-hectare air quality purification zone in the surrounding area, for which a groundbreaking ceremony was held today. It is expected to plant 333 trees, combining net-zero carbon sinks and water resource reuse to create a 'Resilient City Circular Oasis.'
Yunlin County Magistrate Chang Li-shan stated that the newly planted trees include 11 native species and 13 air quality purifying species. It is estimated that after 10 years, the annual carbon sink capacity will increase by about 58 metric tons of CO2e.
The Environmental Protection Bureau held a blessing and groundbreaking ceremony this morning, presided over by Chang Li-shan, with Yunlin County Council Speaker Huang Kai and others participating.
Environmental Protection Bureau Director Chang Chiao-wei said that the Yunlin County Government self-funded NT$160 million for the project, which integrates rainwater collection tanks, reuse of domestic sewage, and flood detention and disaster prevention systems. It can provide about 4,400 cubic meters of flood detention space and also introduces digital smart environmental monitoring, aiming to achieve the goal of full recycling and 'zero discharge' of rainwater and sewage within the park.
In addition, the park's pathways extensively use incinerator recycled aggregates and eco-friendly bricks made from waste glass, demonstrating the concept of a circular economy. The park includes an inclusive playground, a pet sports park, an open-air theater, and a multi-functional exhibition space, combining public art and community co-creation to enhance the cultural and lifestyle value of the site.
Implementing the concept of environmental sustainability, the Environmental Protection Bureau also transplanted camphor trees that have accompanied the bureau's office in Douliu for decades to the new base, symbolizing 'inheritance' of respect for nature and a commitment to sustainability.
