ITRI Signs MOU with University of Wyoming for Carbon Reduction Technology Collaboration

The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) in Taiwan has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the University of Wyoming to integrate their respective strengths and focus on key technological areas for carbon reduction. These areas include CO2 sequestration monitoring, measurement, verification, and geological safety risk assessment. The collaboration aims to accelerate the maturity of carbon reduction technologies by combining academic research with field testing. ITRI's Vice President of the Green Energy and Environment Research Laboratories, Wan Hao-peng, stated that ITRI has long been involved in energy and carbon reduction technologies, emphasizing monitoring, measurement, verification, and geological risk assessment for Taiwan's densely populated environment. He highlighted Wyoming's global leadership in carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) and the University of Wyoming's world-class research capabilities and experimental facilities. Scott Quillinan, Interim Executive Director of the University of Wyoming's School of Energy, noted the university's strong research foundation and top-tier testing facilities, including the Wyoming Integrated Test Center. The partnership is expected to create synergistic advantages in monitoring, verification, reservoir engineering, and risk assessment, fostering knowledge sharing and personnel exchange to advance carbon reduction technologies and their international application.
