7.2.3) Carbon reduction and emission reduction process
Have a process for carbon management and reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

1. Energy saving air-conditioning: The energy-saving improvement project budget is prepared every year, and the energy-consuming air-conditioning equipment of the older model is replaced with a new high-efficiency air-conditioning equipment.

2. Lighting energy conservation: The budget is prepared year by year, and the traditional lamps in the teaching space and office space are replaced with LED energy-saving lamps.

3. Increasing renewable energy: By building solar panels, and collecting information and data, green electricity is brought into the campus. We shall also continue to cooperate with information engineering, engineering, electrical engineering, electricians, and other fields to cultivate talents in the field of renewable energy.

4. Reduction of contracted electricity capacity: In the 2022 academic year, the Tamsui campus continued to target a 1% reduction in the Energy Use Intensity (EUI) to reduce contracted electricity capacity.

5. Green procurement: When purchasing hardware and software equipment, consumables, and construction engineering materials, the university will give priority to manufacturers who can provide the five major green label products: environmental protection labels, energy-saving labels, water-saving labels, green building materials labels, and carbon labels.

6. The advancement of sustainable transportation: The school has partnered with bus companies to introduce electric buses, aiming to reduce carbon emissions from transportation. The school has installed electric vehicle charging stations on campus to facilitate the use of electric vehicles. The school encourages the replacement of official vehicles with electric models as a priority. This not only reduces the school's carbon footprint but also sets a good example for students and staff.

7. Carbon sequestration through planting: A total of 90 species of trees are widely planted in the Danshui campus, totaling 1,692 trees, with a total carbon sequestration amount exceeding 478,899kgCO2e. The campus also uses ecological ponds to pilot microalgae cultivation for carbon sequestration.

8. Negative emission planting: Using regenerative organic farming methods, kitchen waste compost is mixed into the soil as a base fertilizer, increasing the microorganisms in the soil for absorption and utilization by plants, thereby reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
