About us
Our core value is the net-zero goal of clean-energy and zero-carbon products. Integrated cross-disciplinary research teams in chemistry, chemical engineering, environmental engineering, materials science, data science and other cross-field research fields to delve into innovative basic research and applications of sustainable carbon-negative green energy. Moreover, from the carbon neutral sandbox field of innovative carbon rights calculation, we established the global benchmark "Voluntary Carbon Calculation International Certification Laboratory" to derive net-zero emission innovative technological achievements. It will be able to effectively assist high-carbon emitting industries to achieve the carbon neutrality vision goal in 2030, cultivate leadership talents in low-carbon innovative technologies, and strengthen Taiwan's competitiveness to meet the 2050 net-zero emission goal. Use the green hydrogen carbon neutral sandbox to verify the field, deeply promote the research and development of innovative technologies such as "Negative-Carbon Resources", "Energy breakthrough and manufacturing", "Green and sustainable resources", and "Sustainable cloud computing platform", develop and formulate reduction Carbon Science Program. The overall goals set are as follows:
Establish a 4D-printing research center for carbon-negative materials
Establish a carbon-neutral sandbox to derive net-zero technologies for defining and verifying carbon credits
Establish recyclable wind turbine blades and toxic-free anti-fouling pants
Assist high-carbon-emitting industries to achieve the vision of carbon neutrality in 2030 and implement the key indicators of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Core social issues to be solved
How to reverse the image of Taichung Power Plant
with high carbon emission coefficient?
How to provide effective solutions for carbon neutrality
in the high carbon-emitting industries in central Taiwan?
How can we learn from European green cities
to promote the social impact of net-zero cities?
Based on the current status and difficulties of net-zero transformation internationally and in Taiwan, as well as NCHU’s advantages, iSNR has established four core research areas,namely "Negative-Carbon Resources", "Energy breakthrough and manufacturing", "Green and sustainable resources", and "Sustainable cloud computing platform",we hope that the carbon reduction and energy storage technologies developed by our center can drive industrial upgrading to catch up with the global trend of carbon neutrality,and implement the national energy transformation goals through technological research and development.
Organization & Member
International Benchmark Center
We chose the Clean Energy Research Center (CERC) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canadaas the international benchmark center.

International Benchmark Center
CERC is also the target of enhanced cooperation in the early stages of the establishment of our Center.
The University of British Columbia is ranked 3rd in Canada and 43rd in the world.
In order to provide innovative energy solutions, the university established CERC in 2006 and is committed to the research, teaching, and development of clean energy. The university aims to become the world's leading R&D demonstration base for innovative clean energy and provide effective solutions to global energy and environmental pollution. CERC has six research areas, including electrochemical and photochemical energy systems, carbon capture and decarbonization of energy systems, data analysis and optimization of bioenergy systems, policy analysis of clean energy systems, and transportation and buildings of urban energy systems. Among them, the first four research areas are similar to the research focus of this center, so they are worthy of being our benchmarked.
