According to a report by Fortune Business Insights, the global biogas market reached a size of USD 48.74 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow to USD 78.32 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate of 5.50% during the forecast period. In response to the global trend toward net-zero carbon emissions, Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs has previously promoted high-efficiency biogas demonstration sites and anaerobic fermentation experiments. Through collaboration with energy service companies and biogas-related industries, valuable experience has been accumulated. By connecting the industrial chain, this initiative aims to foster collaboration among various sectors, including public…

In Taiwan’s journey towards renewable energy development, wind and solar power have long been the two major forces. However, geothermal energy is gradually emerging and is expected to become the third largest source of green electricity. Geothermal power generation is one of the few energy sources that can serve as a stable base load, with a capacity factor of up to 90%, and its levelized cost of electricity is lower than that of solar and wind power. As a clean renewable energy source, geothermal energy can effectively reduce air pollution caused by power generation, improve carbon emissions, and generate economic…

As the global demand for environmental protection and carbon reduction continues to grow, energy transition has become a critical issue for many countries. Hydrogen energy, as a clean and renewable energy source, is rapidly gaining attention. In recent years, hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) have emerged as one of the most eco-friendly and essential options in the new energy vehicle sector. They stand out for their ability to produce only water and heat during energy conversion, without emitting any harmful gases or substances. This reflects the significant progress in fuel cell electric vehicle technology and highlights the potential of…

As global demand for renewable energy grows, solar panels have become a crucial tool in sustainable development and carbon reduction. In Taiwan the nationwide rooftop solar PV system installation plan promoted by the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ Bureau of Energy is accelerating the installation of solar PV systems and advancing development of green energy, laying a solid foundation for future environmental protection. However, solar PV panels have a lifecycle of about 20 years, and approximately 0.5% are damaged annually due to typhoons. As many solar panels gradually reach the end of their service life, the Ministry of Environment estimates that…

The “2024 Sustainable Taiwan Expo (TASS2024)” collaborated for the first time with “2024 New Environmental Exhibition (N-EXPO)” and “2024 Global Warming Prevention Exhibition (GWPE),” and participated in the event taking place from May 22 to 24, 2024, in Japan. N-EXPO and GWPE are Japan’s largest and most significant exhibitions related to environmental and climate change issues. This year, more than 700 companies participated. Through interaction, the exhibitions look forward to expanding the business with the latest net-zero trends, circular economy, and work towards global sustainability. At the 2024 N-EXPO/ GWPE, C.T.
