About the Company
The founder is Tong Chien-hsiang, the former director of the Green Energy and Environment Research Laboratories at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), who pioneered the technology of using agricultural and forestry waste fibers as raw materials to produce biobutanol, which costs 20% to 30% less than bioethanol and has higher combustion efficiency. Furthermore, ethanol production relies on carbohydrate food crops such as corn and sweet potatoes, which not only compete with humans for food but also emit greenhouse gases during cultivation and have lower conversion efficiency, whereas biobutanol can be produced using only waste. This solution was selected by Google's SFX Moonshot project innovation platform, leading to an invitation to deliver a speech at the inaugural Asia-Pacific summit, and it further won the 2016 U.S. Edison Award.
