The RCRE successfully hosted two lectures for the PAIR Advanced Education Programme on 30 April and 7 May 2026. Centred on the theme “Resources Engineering for Carbon Neutrality”, each lecture engaged approximately 35 on-site participants and more than 200 attendees via online platform.
The first lecture, held on 30 April, featured presentations by Prof. POON Chi-sun (Director of RCRE), Prof. ZHANG Shipeng (Associate Director), and Prof. LENG Zhen (Associate Director). Their presentations explored the recycling of concrete waste through accelerated carbonation, 3D concrete printing using low-carbon materials, and advanced technologies for turning waste into sustainable road paving materials.
The subsequent lecture on 7 May was delivered by Prof. HSU Shu-chien (RCRE Member), Prof. LEU Shao-yuan (Management Committee Member) and Prof. WANG Yuhong (RCRE Member). The topics included life cycle assessment and cost analysis for sustainable concrete recycling, the development of urban biorefineries to convert waste into high-value bio-products, and nature-based solutions for urban development and renewal.
In summary, these lectures offered participants significant insights into pioneering research and practical applications in resources engineering aimed at achieving carbon neutrality.
