KAOHSIUNG, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Taiwan’s leading engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) group CTCI announced today that it was awarded another major LNG terminal-related EPC contract to help the state-owned oil company CPC Corporation build regasification facility at Kaohsiung Intercontinental LNG Receiving Terminal (also known as the 7^th LNG receiving terminal) in southern Taiwan, after securing LNG storage tanks EPC contract for the same terminal late last year.

At NT$29.6bn in contract value, the regasification facility will convert liquefied natural gas (LNG) coming from four 180,000 kL cryogenic tanks into gaseous state natural gas for further distribution, at an output of 1,600 tons per hour. Slated to be completed by 2030, the regasification facility helps increase resilience in natural gas supply across the island and contributes to national energy stability, in a time when LNG and LNG-induced electricity are in hot demand due to economic growth, AI infrastructure power needs, and decarbonized/low-carbon power generation trend.

“We appreciate that CPC Corporation has further entrusted CTCI with the Kaohsiung Intercontinental LNG Receiving Terminal project,” said Michael Yang, Chairman of CTCI Corporation. “The construction of LNG storage tanks at the terminal is currently at full speed. For the regasification facility, CTCI will leverage green and intelligent technologies to save energy, cut carbon emissions, and make construction more time-efficient. We look forward to working with CPC Corp. to achieve the national energy security goal.”

The regasification facility comes with sustainable and innovative features. Seawater is used for heating the cryogenic LNG at -162°C into gaseous state. The cold energy released from the regasification process is recovered and repurposed for air conditioning inside the facility. CTCI also utilizes its proprietary, award-winning pipeline cleaning robot and pipeline flange bolt fastening module system to tackle the most complex and risky challenges during pipeline construction, thus enhancing construction efficiency, quality, and safety.

Globally, the demand for LNG is expected to increase 60% by 2040. In Taiwan, natural gas is set to become the major source for power generation as the nation attempts to lower carbon emissions from electricity. This has driven plans for building new LNG terminals.

CTCI is proud to have participated in the engineering and construction of all operating LNG receiving terminals in Taiwan, and is so far the only domestic EPC service provider with complete expertise and track record in LNG terminals, covering scopes of regasification facilities, storage tanks, jetties, trestles, and long-distance pipelines. Globally, CTCI has participated in eleven LNG terminal projects—including new construction and expansion—across China, India, Taiwan, and Thailand, contributing to 40 million tons in LNG supply capacity per year.

LNG terminals aside, CTCI plays a key role in ushering a net zero future by participating extensively in renewable energy facility construction (solar, biomass, wind power) and actively exploring new energy markets (energy storage, hydrogen energy, CCUS). With comprehensive preparedness, CTCI remains a reliable partner of choice for nations and companies that seek EPC services for stable, low-carbon, and sustainable energy infrastructures.

TAIPEI, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Acer has published its 2024 Sustainability Report, providing a holistic account of the group’s performance in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) areas. Demonstrating its commitment to long-term sustainability, Acer continues to evolve with the industry by innovating in existing businesses, delivering eco-conscious designs and solutions, while expanding its multiple business engines.

Highlights of key milestones over the past year include sourcing 60% of electricity the Acer group used from renewable means, achieving its target one year ahead of schedule and on track to its pledge of sourcing 100% renewable electricity (RE100) by 2035. Among its critical suppliers, 81% have either committed to RE100 or set science-based carbon reduction targets (SBT) in 2024. In product design, Acer introduced its first carbon-neutral laptop, the Aspire Vero 16, which later incorporated bio-based oyster shell material.

From 2020 to 2024, Acer produced more than 50 million computers and monitors using post-consumer recycled plastics. Furthermore, the signing of a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) solutions agreement with logistics partners illustrates how Acer has taken action to reduce emissions across its entire product lifecycle, from manufacturing, production, to transportation.

Acer’s commitment to reduce the burden on the environment has continued to win industry recognition, global awards and accolades. In 2024, the company was ranked in the Corporate Knights 2024 Clean200™ list of the 200 largest public companies by clean revenue. Acer made its debut on the TIME World’s Most Sustainable Companies and the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, which comprises global sustainability leaders identified by S&P Global’s Corporate Sustainability Assessment. At the same time, Acer was listed on DSJI’s Emerging Markets Index for the 11th consecutive year, among the Top 5% of companies in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook for the fifth consecutive year, and in the MSCI ESG Leaders Indexes for the 11th year, maintaining the best rating of “AAA” in its category since 2021. For the third straight year, Acer received the Platinum medal from EcoVadis’ Sustainability Rating, placing the company among the top 1% of companies rated.

Looking ahead, Acer will continue marching forward to achieve its ESG goals, ultimately reaching 100% renewable electricity by 2035 and net zero by 2050.
