Cross-border collaboration advances potential new solution for CCS corrosion mitigation; visitors welcome October 30–31October 30 2026, Taipei, Taiwan – Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) (TWSE: 2317), the world’s largest technology manufacturing platform service provider, will showcase a novel approach to CCS corrosion prevention, developed in collaboration with UK-based Pace CCS Holdings Ltd, at Hon Hai Tech Day 2026, taking place October 30–31 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1. Laboratory proof-of-concept of an approach to inhibiting acid corrosion has been completed, offering a potential new solution to improve the safety of CO₂ transport and storage in the carbon capture and storage (CCS) industry at lower cost. Pace CCS Chief Technology Officer, Matthew Healey, will share technology trends and the results of the collaboration at the Sustainability Forum Trace impurities in CO₂ streams can form strong acids under certain conditions, potentially leading to corrosion - a significant challenge for CCS infrastructure. Laboratory testing has confirmed that a semiconductor-grade chemical scavenger has the potential to remove key oxidizing constituents, suppressing strong-acid formation at its source versus the need for additional processing to remove impurities, potentially lowering barriers to adoption. Testing began in Taipei in November 2025. Results showed that, under the test conditions, the addition of the scavenger prevented acid corrosion of metal coupons, whereas the untreated control samples exhibited visible corrosion. These findings provide a foundation for evaluating future applications. Ron R. T. Horng, Chief Environmental Officer of Hon Hai Technology Group, said: “As Foxconn advances its net-zero transition, we are also working to apply our manufacturing and systems integration experience to carbon-reduction technologies. By bringing together Foxconn’s capabilities in precision manufacturing, gas-reaction control and piping design with Pace CCS’s engineering expertise, we aim to move the results of laboratory validation progressively toward industrial applications and deliver more practical solutions for net zero.” Matthew Healey, Chief Technology Officer of Pace CCS, said: “Acid-driven corrosion is a critical cost driver in CCS operations. While raising CO₂ purity standards can mitigate risk, it sharply increases upstream treatment costs. By deploying a chemical scavenger to inhibit acid-forming reactions at the source, this potentially offers a more cost-effective solution. Pace is proud to have provided innovative thinking and technical support during laboratory testing. We look forward to continuing our technical support as the technology advances into the next stages of testing and validation.” Provided corrosion risks can be adequately managed, the technology could allow some systems to transport and store CO₂ with higher impurity levels, enabling more emissions sources to participate in storage networks, expanding the potential reach of CCS and reducing costs. Ruth Bradley-Jones, Representative of the British Office Taipei, said: “The collaboration between Foxconn and Pace CCS demonstrates the complementary strengths of Taiwan’s manufacturing and systems integration capabilities and the UK’s expertise in carbon capture and storage. We welcome efforts by businesses from both sides to explore industrial decarbonisation solutions and look forward to seeing continued technical exchange and collaboration translate innovative ideas into practical applications that support the net zero transition.” The CO₂ corrosion mitigation technology will be featured in the Environmental Intelligence exhibition area at this year’s Hon Hai Tech Day, giving visitors an opportunity to learn about the purification process and its potential applications. Foxconn will continue working with international companies collaboratively to advance innovation and research in carbon capture and expand viable pathways toward net zero. October 30 is an invitation-only opening day, while October 31 is open to the public. Registration and admission arrangements are subject to the event organizer’s announcements.

Technology sector leadership showcases Asia’s formidable strength12 October 2026, Taipei, Taiwan – Reflecting responsibilities that sit at the intersection of the physical industrial world and the AI world for the largest electronics manufacturer and AI server provider on the planet, Kathy Yangof Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) (TWSE:2317) has been recognized in Most Powerful Women Asia 2026 by Fortune, for a second year. As General Manager of Global Campus Operations and Head of AI Software Business and AI Infrastructure for Foxconn, Yang joins 16 honorees from technology, the most represented sector in this year's prestigious list, ahead of banking with 14. Their presence reflects the increasingly central role technology plays in Asia's economy, as businesses spanning digital platforms, advanced manufacturing and other technology-driven industries grow in scale and influence. "What stands out in this year's ranking is how the landscape of business power in Asia is evolving," said Charmian Choo, Asia list Senior Manager. "We see established leaders continuing to shape some of the region's largest companies, alongside a new generation rising through the ranks. The prominence of technology is particularly striking, reflecting the sector's growing influence on Asia's economy and the women increasingly at the forefront of that transformation." “Women in leadership play an important role in the AI industrial revolution. The real challenge is not deploying technology, but redesigning work, investing in reskilling, and helping our global talent of women and men evolve with it,” said Foxconn’s Yang, whose remit includes Foxconn’s more than 240 sites across 24 countries. “Five years from now, the best factories will not simply be the most automated, but those where humans, AI and robots make one another better.” Earlier this year, Yang was recognized among Fortune’s Most Powerful Women in Business 2026. Her work combines Foxconn’s global manufacturing scale, engineering capabilities and operational know-how with software, data, computing infrastructure and AI. Yang previously served as Foxconn’s Rotating CEO, the first woman to hold the role, during which she focused on strengthening enterprise-wide execution, cross-business alignment, and governance discipline across one of the world’s largest and most complex industrial organizations. She is concurrently a Board Director of Foxconn Industrial Internet (FII) and Chairwoman and CEO of JUSDA, both key units of Foxconn. About Fortune MPW Asia here.
