Jellice Taiwan, a subsidiary of the multinational JELLICE Group, is the only professional manufacturer and supplier of gelatin and functional collagen peptides in Taiwan. Actively responding to international ESG trends, the company comprehensively promotes low-carbon transformation through process optimization, energy management, and renewable energy deployment, gradually building a sustainable corporate system with environmental responsibility and industrial competitiveness.
In 2025, through equipment upgrades and energy management optimization, the company successfully implemented several energy-saving measures, including optimizing the efficiency of wastewater treatment blowers, introducing high-efficiency motors into the chilled water system, and centralized freezing management of research raw materials. These three major energy-saving projects resulted in a total annual energy saving of 147,252 kWh, reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 69.8 metric tons, equivalent to the carbon absorption of nearly 6,000 trees for an entire year, demonstrating the significant effectiveness of energy-saving management at the manufacturing level.
Regarding renewable energy deployment, Jellice Taiwan also continues to expand its use of green electricity. The factory has already installed a 292.7 kW solar power system, which generated 297,995 kWh of electricity in 2025, reducing carbon emissions by 141.2 metric tons of CO2, equivalent to the annual carbon absorption of over 12,000 trees. This self-consumption green energy model not only reduces reliance on traditional electricity but also strengthens the company’s energy autonomy and operational resilience.
With its dual focus on energy conservation and green energy, Jellice Taiwan achieved a total carbon reduction of 211 metric tons of CO2 in 2025, roughly equivalent to the annual carbon absorption of 0.55 Daan Forest Parks, setting a concrete and quantifiable carbon reduction benchmark for the biotechnology manufacturing industry.
In 2026, energy savings are projected to increase by another 186%, reaching a total saving of 274,884 kWh. Simultaneously, nearly NT$10 million will be invested in expanding the solar power system, adding 229.6 kW of equipment. Overall green energy output is expected to nearly double, demonstrating the company’s long-term commitment and substantial investment in energy transition.
From saving one kilowatt-hour of electricity to generating one kilowatt-hour of green electricity, Jellice Taiwan is taking steady and concrete steps on the road to net-zero transformation. In the future, it will continue to deepen its ESG strategy, combining its biotechnology R&D strength with sustainability concepts, moving towards its corporate vision of “low-carbon manufacturing and healthy living,” creating long-term value for both industry and the environment.
