By Lin Chia-nanStaff reporterMinister of Science and Technology Chen Liang-gee (陳良基) yesterday attended a beam-raising ceremony for the main building of the Joint Research Center for Green Energy Technologies in Tainan, saying that he expects the center to become a hub for research on green energy generation, preservation and storage. Construction crews broke ground for the joint research center in April last year and it is expected to be completed by February next year. The beam-raising ceremony marked the final stage of construction, the Ministry of Science and Technology said. The center’s development is being overseen by a team from National Applied Research Laboratories (NARL), the science ministry said. Officials from the economics ministry and the Atomic Energy Council’s Institute of Nuclear Energy Research — which has cultivated talent for green energy research — would be stationed at the center, it said.
