Taiwan's "Net Zero Technology" Policy Aims to Achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2050

Taiwan's National Science and Technology Commission has presented its "Net Zero Technology" policy for 2023-2026 to the Executive Yuan. The goal of the plan is to assist in achieving the country's 2050 target of net zero carbon emissions by transforming the four major sectors of society, industry, life, and energy through the implementation of five net zero technology fields.

Collaborating with multiple government agencies and the Academia Sinica, the plan is guided by four core strategies: "people-oriented," "begin with the end in mind," "internationalization," and "future-oriented." The five net zero technology fields include sustainable and forward-looking energ,  low-carbon  and decarbonization, negative carbon, circular economy, and humanistic and social sciences.

During the first phase of the plan (2023-2026), there will be a focus on accelerating the application of technology and the development of forward-looking technologies. This includes the development of large-scale (15 MW) floating offshore wind power platforms, the promotion of the first floating offshore wind farm in Taiwan, the implementation of deep geothermal energy, decarbonized hydrogen, and other forward-looking energy technologies. Additionally, strategic collaboration with international benchmark institutions will help develop net zero technologies that lead the world.

To promote the public's understanding of the policy and facilitate citizen involvement, the plan will also incorporate humanistic and social science research to inform the development of related policies and communication strategies. Furthermore, efforts will be made to establish a mechanism for private investment to allow the public to more easily understand and apply net zero technologies in their daily lives.

In Taiwanl, the Net Zero Technology policy aims to bring together resources from multiple government agencies and encourage citizen and industry participation to promote net zero technology research and implementation, with the goal of making Taiwan a net zero technology model country.

TSMC Reevaluates Site for Its New 1.4nm Factory in Taiwan Amid Controversies

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) has recently stirred up public attention as it reconsiders the location for its planned 1.4nm factory in Taiwan. Initially set to be established in the Longtan Phase 3 Science Park, TSMC announced that it is now exploring alternative sites. According to a press release from TSMC, internal assessments concluded that current conditions are not favorable for proceeding with the original location in Longtan Phase 3 Science Park. This decision immediately sparked widespread discussions and debates. Interestingly, government bodies associated with the Longtan Science Park, including the Taoyuan City Government, National Science Council, and Ministry of Economic Affairs, have all clarified their positions and disassociated themselves from the change in plans. None have made efforts to retain TSMC's initial project in Longtan. Conversely, local governments from Kaohsiung, Tainan, and Taichung swiftly expressed their interest in hosting TSMC...
