As a smart green energy enterprise, HDRE believes in using core green energy technologies to give back to society, co-creating a better green energy lifestyle.。
Addressing global warming and environmental issues has become a pressing concern worldwide. HDRE not only focuses on providing long-term, stable clean energy but also contemplates effective actions to empower more individuals with the capability for "sustainability mindset."
In alignment with the core concept from the "Our Common Future" report presented at the 42nd United Nations General Assembly in 1987—meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs—HDRE has committed to a long-term, deeply embedded "Energy Education Program" in schools. This initiative is dedicated to making future generations aware from a young age of the interconnections between the environment, energy, and themselves. Leveraging HDRE's expertise in energy, the program links several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
The Campus Energy Education Program focuses on three main themes: understanding environmental and climate dynamics, the implications of energy transitions, and the impact of individual actions on the environment. The curriculum incorporates STEM.org-certified wooden block games and environmentally conscious animations, which through interaction and questioning, spark deeper thinking and interest among children about environmental and energy issues. Throughout the process, laughter fills the classroom, instantly bridging the gap between children and the complex knowledge of energy.
Each school visit broadens our impact, helping students grasp the tangible benefits of renewable energy, such as its role in reducing carbon emissions and enhancing environmental quality. Post-lesson feedback reveals a keen interest among students in how "renewable energy" can significantly reduce carbon emissions from power generation and improve the global environment. Through vivid and engaging illustrations and texts, it's evident that energy education has planted a seed in the hearts of these young minds, one that we hope will grow into a strong tree in the future.
HDRE firmly believes in maximizing its efforts in promoting green energy education.
In 2021, HDRE noted the need for improvements at the Pantau Elementary School basketball court in Miaoli County, which had been established for many years with outdated facilities and insufficient rain cover, adversely affecting leisure activities and events during poor weather. In line with government green energy policies and to provide better facilities, HDRE funded the transformation of this basketball court into a solar photovoltaic court.
Despite facing challenges such as pandemic-related restrictions and design changes during construction, the project was successfully completed through tireless communication, coordination, and stringent quality control, transforming the venue into an indoor court powered by green energy. This photovoltaic court now offers local students and residents a comfortable activity space, integrating environmental awareness into its design and generating a significant amount of electricity. In 2021, the solar-powered basketball court achieved a total electricity generation of 589,779 kWh. 。
Following the completion of the solar photovoltaic power project, HDRE encouraged its employees to become energy education instructors in schools to further promote energy education. Through demonstrations using small solar panels, students were made aware of how closely related energy is to their everyday lives, sparking their interest in the connections between lifestyle, environmental protection, and energy. Over 200 students at Pantau Elementary School were engaged through this initiative.
Through such guidance, we enabled students to understand how to enhance energy efficiency while fostering economic development and minimizing unnecessary waste. Moving forward, we will continue to promote energy education, tailoring it to various educational levels to help students understand renewable energy and incorporate various renewable energy applications in daily life.
Solar-Powered Mobile Cinema Car Leads Students to Learn About Green Power
HDRE collaborated with Director Charlie Chu of "Formosa 3D" to support his vision of a 3D mobile cinema. We assisted in installing solar panels and adding energy storage equipment on the cinema vehicle’s roof, creating Asia's first 3D mobile solar cinema. This allowed the cinema vehicle to be self-sufficient in power, screening movies across Taiwan and serving as a perfect example of green living.
Director Qu stated, "Beauty is a force! I want to document more and better aspects of Taiwan." Over a decade, he captured Taiwan’s most beautiful people, places, and moments—from Lanyu Island to the Central Mountain Range, from rural villages to bustling cities, and from natural landscapes to traditional artisans.
Director Charlie Chu has captured these beautiful and rousing scenes in his high-definition Blu-ray DVD "Century Taiwan" and the "FORMOSA 3D" series. Inspired by his own personal journey and reflections following a major surgery, he decided to launch the "Formosa 3D Mobile Cinema Tour" to expand the range of 3D film screenings in rural areas, bringing joy to more children. We support Director Qu's vision by providing the necessary energy technology to power the cinema, enabling it to showcase spectacular films across Taiwan and spread beauty to more people.
The Formosa 3D mobile cinema continues to traverse roads, inspiring the next generation's perspectives and dreams. To date, this cinema vehicle has visited nearly 3,000 schools and over 210 institutions serving underprivileged communities, traveling more than 260,000 kilometers and touching the lives of over 260,000 young students. Remarkably, every kilometer traveled has influenced the heart of a child.
The profound joy that Formosa 3D brings to children in rural areas has deeply moved HDRE, leading us to become an official philanthropic partner. HDRE Chairman Yuan-Yi Hsieh noted that rural areas occasionally face issues with unstable power supply and outdated electrical outlets. After connecting with Director Qu, we quickly provided a solution, harnessing HD's core technologies to install solar panels and add energy storage equipment on the cinema vehicle's roof. This setup allows the cinema vehicle to be fully powered for a whole day, capable of hosting at least two movie screenings, thus resolving any concerns about power supply. Moreover, this approach realizes the concept of a small microgrid, allowing for simultaneous power use and charging.
Consequently, Taiwan's only 3D mobile cinema not only operates on green energy but also educates children about the applications of solar energy, demonstrating that green energy generation is an accessible part of everyday life. Additionally, the mobile cinema has expanded its library of works beyond 3D films to include lively and engaging videos that introduce children to renewable energy, fostering an awareness of environmental sustainability from a young age. This collaboration allows us to integrate green energy with education, creating a more sustainable future for the next generation.
