In line with a government policy to make Taiwan a low-carbon society, plans are being drawn up to transform 55 of the country's old industrial compounds into eco-friendly facilities, with three of them selected to serve as 'flagship depots' in the initial stage, officials said Thursday. According to officials of the Industrial Development Bureau under the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) , the bureau is considering installing solar panels and some 1,800 LED lamps in these aging industrial compounds -- which cover a combined total of more than 10,000 square meters -- as part of its efforts to realize the renovation plan. 'All the solar panels and LED equipment will be products manufactured by Taiwanese companies,' the official noted. Juifang Industrial District in northern Taiwan, Chushan Industrial District in central Taiwan and Kuantien Industrial District in the south are being targeted as the 'flagship' versions of the planned eco-friendly facilities that will focus on ecology, culture and health-related concepts, the officials said. The upgrading plan is expected to create over 8,700 jobs.
