Strengthening International Ties for Decarbonization: Cetim and MIRDC Collaboration
Strengthening International Ties for Decarbonization: Cetim and MIRDC Collaboration
In a significant move towards advancing decarbonization in the industry, Cetim, the French mechanical engineering center, and Taiwan's Metal Industries Research and Development Centre (MIRDC) have forged a partnership at the JEC World 2025 event. This collaboration aims to address technological challenges related to hydrogen, advanced composite materials, and the necessary training in these fields.
Key Areas of Focus
The agreement outlines three main focal points that will guide their efforts:
1. Accelerating Hydrogen Industry Development
The partnership encompasses the entire hydrogen value chain, from production and utilization to storage and transport. This will include the development of more robust, reliable, and cost-effective technologies for testing materials in high-pressure hydrogen environments.
2. Supporting Decarbonization with Composite Materials
Cetim and MIRDC are committed to innovating solutions to lighten and decarbonize composite structural components for the hydrogen industry. Their joint research will concentrate on composite assembly technologies, particularly thermoplastic welding, to transition towards lighter materials that have a lower environmental impact.
3. Skills Transfer for Industrialization of Decarbonization Technologies
Another key element of this partnership is the transfer of skills to manufacturers. Training courses will be offered, covering the hydrogen value chain, characterization of advanced materials, and a wider scope of composite materials. This educational component is essential for fostering a skilled workforce capable of supporting the green transition in their respective sectors.
Strategic Alignment
This collaboration aligns with Cetim's strategic priorities, particularly emphasizing ecological and energy transitions with a spotlight on hydrogen and advanced materials. The CEO of MIRDC, Lai Yung-Hsiang, noted that both organizations share a strong synergy in technical expertise and research capabilities, enhancing their efforts to advance hydrogen energy technology and bolster Taiwan's hydrogen ecosystem.
Looking ahead, this collaboration is set to expand into sectors including metallic materials, aerospace, precision machining, and new energy sources, further solidifying ties between Taiwanese and French industries.
