The Kaohsiung Yongan Aquaculture Production Area covers approximately 1,200 hectares; with groupers, milkfish and shrimps as its main high-value aquatic products. Previously, local aquaculturists had to build water pipelines by themselves to pump sea water back to each fish farm. The fluctuating temperature between hot and cold seasons and unstable water quality could sometimes lead to microbe proliferation,
Good for Fish, Good for the Community
In compliance with Taiwan government's "Circular Economy" policy, and in response to local community's requests, CPC offers LNG-cooled water for free. With the use of underground culvert for water transportation, it is now more convenient to pump water to each pond, and the cost of pipeline maintenance could be diminished. The LNG-cooled water is such a precious resource for the community in Yongan District which it is now referred to as "Diamond Water".
Benefits
- CPC has contributed to aquaculture industry development in Yongan Aquaculture Production Area, resulting in 1.5~2 billion total market value per year.
