Steel Union Launches Carbon Management System with University Partnership

Steel Union (鋼聯), a company focused on the resource recycling of steelmaking dust, has partnered with Yunlin University of Science and Technology to launch a "1+N" carbon management demonstration system. This initiative aligns with Taiwan's "Net-Zero Transition Promotion Plan" and aims to guide industries in their carbon inventory and energy-saving efforts.

The project officially kicked off with a meeting on May 26, 2026, organized by the Ministry of Economic Affairs' Industrial Development Administration. Steel Union, which has been establishing greenhouse gas inventory systems since 2012, has already achieved a 27% reduction in carbon emissions compared to its baseline year through process improvements and renewable energy adoption.

Company Chairman Lin Cai-hsiang stated that Steel Union's vision is to become Taiwan's leading circular economy model company. They have expanded their operations to include the recycling of twelve types of waste materials across three categories, promoting a dual transformation towards low-carbon and smart operations.

Through this "1+N" system, Steel Union intends to lead by example, connecting upstream and downstream supply chain partners in industries such as chemical raw materials, non-metallic mineral products, basic metals, and steel. The goal is to enhance carbon management capabilities, build a foundation for low-carbon supply chain governance, and collectively move towards zero-waste resource circulation and low-carbon transformation.
