Kaohsiung's first Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) awarded to a pig farm: turning manure into green gold

March 3, 2025 | UDN (In Chinese) |

 

Zhixian Pig Farm (志賢畜牧場) in Kaohsiung has become Taiwan’s first privately owned pig farm to receive Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for biogas power generation. With support from the city’s Agriculture Bureau and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), the farm installed a 30kW biogas system that generates up to 60,000 kWh annually—saving over NT$200,000 in electricity costs and could earn up to NT$270,000 through REC trading. This model turns livestock waste into green energy and additional income, supporting Taiwan’s net-zero transition. By the end of 2024, Kaohsiung’s Agriculture Bureau had assisted nine farms in adopting biogas systems and issued over 5,900 RECs to promote circular, low-carbon agriculture.
