The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) handled the environmental impact assessment of the New Materials Circular-Industrial Park establishment plan, which was made public online in October 2014. A second-phase public briefing session was held on December 27, 2024. The Minister of MOEA, Kuo Jyh-Huei, Deputy Minister, Ho Chin-Jsang, Legislator Lai Jui-Lung, and the Deputy Secretary-General of Kaohsiung City Government, Wang Chi-Chuan attended the briefing session, engaging with public concerns. The formal EIA process will proceed, aiming for the park's final approval by the end of 2026.
The Minister of MOEA, Kou Jyh-Huei, said that the "New Materials Circular-Industrial Park" is a critical part of industrial transformation and concrete practice for the country to move towards sustainable development in the future. The initiative aims to create a model circular economy park that fosters regional economic prosperity while harmonizing development and ecological preservation. Achieving these goals requires collaboration between central and local governments and societal consensus.
Regarding the CPC Corporation's Zhouji LNG Terminal Project and its long-term gas pipeline segment, MOEA will coordinate the park's establishment process with CPC, ensuring the Dalinpu relocation timeline is considered to minimize impacts on residents' lives and health. The MOEA will also communicate closely with the Ministry of Environment and the Kaohsiung City Government to expedite the park's development.
Aligning with the Kaohsiung City Government's relocation survey results, the MOEA is expediting the park's establishment while collaborating with the Kaohsiung City Government and local units to resolve community concerns. This initiative will advance industrial innovation in Kaohsiung while preserving the region's environmental quality.
