I-Mei Foods, a renowned Taiwanese company, is demonstrating its dedication to sustainable practices by participating in the SDG Asia Expo, an event highlighting achievements in green technology, energy-efficient architecture, and sustainable living. The expo, themed 'Charge Towards Change,' features over 1,000 booths and showcases the efforts of government, business, medical institutions, and academia in promoting sustainable development. Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy Chair Eugene Chien praised Taiwanese businesses and agencies for their net-zero efforts and emphasized the need for a faster global transition to clean energy.

Key Takeaways:

  • I-Mei Foods is showcasing its commitment to sustainable practices at the SDG Asia Expo, highlighting its use of recycled materials, forest conservation efforts, and energy-saving technologies.
  • The company's partner, Golden Saddle Machinery Co., has developed two off-peak ice-storage systems that significantly reduce energy use at I-Mei's facilities, contributing to sustainable development and grid stability.
  • The first system is a containerized ice-storage system built within a standard 40-foot shipping container, capable of storing up to 56 tonnes of ice and supporting air conditioning for a 500-ping facility (about 1,650 square meters).
  • The second system is a tank-based ice-storage system comprising five vertical tanks 9-21 meters tall, which produces ice at night and uses stored cooling during the day, reducing peak power consumption by up to 30%.
  • I-Mei's technology features an integrated energy-management system for smart ice production, thermal-energy regulation, and peak-load shifting, with load forecasting and remote control suited to whole-building applications.
  • The company's efforts in sustainable development have led to a nearly fourfold increase in exhibitor numbers at the SDG Asia Expo, with over 1,000 booths featuring green technology, energy-efficient architecture, and sustainable living solutions.
