With the growing demand for energy in high-consumption industries such as data centers and artificial intelligence (AI), balancing costs, energy supply, and sustainability has become a global challenge. Simultaneously, in order to meet the global goal of limiting the rise in temperature to below 1.5°C, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by 43% by 2030 compared to 2019 levels.
The urgent need for global net-zero carbon reduction has become a priority. In line with international trends, and under the guidance of the National Sustainable Development Commission, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Environment, and the National Development Council, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) and SEMI’s Green Energy and Sustainability Alliance (GESA) have jointly organized Energy Taiwan and Net-Zero Taiwan, Taiwan’s largest green energy and sustainability industry exchange platforms. These events will be held from October 4 to 6 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 2.
Today, a pre-exhibition press conference brought together leading players in the green energy sector, officially kicking off the exhibition, and exploring new opportunities in sustainability.
Terry Tsao, SEMI’s Global Chief Marketing Officer and President of Taiwan, shared: “As the global technology industry continues to grow rapidly, transitioning to net-zero is the only solution to meet the challenges posed by climate change. The global development of innovative energy technologies continues, and through diversified green energy solutions, we can achieve the deep energy savings required. SEMI, through GESA, is actively linking the industry and government for the exchange of green energy policies and technologies, with the goal of pursuing international market opportunities for sustainability.”
Simon Wang, President and CEO of TAITRA, said: “As industries advance simultaneously toward digital and green transformations, Energy Taiwan and Net-Zero Taiwan are important platforms that concentrate the energy of the green energy and net-zero sectors, driving the transformation. This year’s exhibition has set several new records, with 480 participating companies, 1,625 booths, and a 30% increase in scale. The percentage of international exhibitors has also reached 20%, all of which are new highs. This event will activate market opportunities and mark a new milestone for sustainable innovation.”
Industry-Government-Academic Collaborations Accelerate Taiwan’s Net-Zero Progress
To enhance Taiwan’s awareness of environmental sustainability, the government continues to roll out policies that act as a strong backing for sustainable industry players, accelerating Taiwan’s path toward achieving its 2050 net-zero carbon emissions target. At the pre-exhibition press conference, representatives from various sectors shared their insights on the theme: “Net-Zero New Generation: Crafting an Innovative Blueprint for Sustainable Green Energy.”
Lee, Chun-Li, Deputy Director of the Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs, remarked: “Net-zero carbon emissions are a global goal. The government is focusing on deep energy-saving measures and accelerating the development of diverse green energy, making the 2050 net-zero target and path more concrete. By 2030, increasing the proportion of green electricity in Taiwan’s manufacturing products has become an urgent task. The government will continue working closely with industry partners to provide sufficient green electricity, enhancing Taiwan’s global competitiveness. Additionally, the government is expanding the capacity of ESCO (Energy Service Companies) to diagnose electricity usage, identify issues, and invest in energy-saving equipment to create win-win scenarios.”
Innovations in Green Energy Development: Collaboration Between Industry and Technology
Liao, Kuo-Jung, Chairman of TSEC Corporation, shared: “The solar industry continues to innovate. Our advancements in solar technology will help clients mitigate unpredictable natural disaster risks by guaranteeing reliable product quality.”
Liu, Hui-Chi, General Manager of Formosa Smart Energy, expressed views on the battery and energy storage sector: “With the rapid growth of energy transformation and AI, using energy storage as backup power and transitioning from fossil fuels to batteries has become a necessity for both industries and society. Formosa Plastics Intelligence is establishing the largest battery plant in the Changhua Coastal Industrial Park, aiming to vertically integrate battery recycling and solid-state battery development, driving Taiwan’s energy-saving and carbon reduction efforts.”
Tim McBride of Tesla Energy highlighted Tesla’s Powerwall product, which meets the backup power needs of residential homes and small businesses. By managing peak loads and reducing electricity costs, Powerwall promotes a more stable power environment and a carbon-reducing lifestyle.
Hsu, Jui-Yuan, Vice President of Delta’s Energy Infrastructure and Industrial Solutions Business Group, emphasized Delta’s commitment to energy sustainability: “Through renewable energy, smart grids, and electric vehicle charging solutions, Delta aims to stay below the critical 1.5°C threshold, driving global energy management and the electrification of transportation. Delta’s low-carbon manufacturing practices, low-carbon transportation, and smart grid solutions demonstrate our leadership in sustainability and our promise to create shared value.”
Comprehensive Net-Zero and Green Energy Forums: A Platform for In-Depth Discussions
In addition to sharing diverse perspectives from renewable energy and energy storage technology experts at the pre-exhibition press conference, this year’s Energy Taiwan and Net-Zero Taiwan exhibitions will bring together the latest green energy innovations, industry associations, and leading companies to exchange knowledge and explore new green energy business opportunities for the sustainability era.
The exhibition will feature several forums, including the first-ever Carbon Academy to help companies address carbon anxiety, the International Energy Technology Exchange Seminar, which will explore deep energy-saving strategies, and the “Climate Change and Sustainable Future” masters’ dialogue. Other highlights include Energy Storage International Forum, Net-Zero Taiwan International Summit, PV Technology Forum, Taiwan Offshore Wind Competitiveness Forum, and The Future of Data Technology Forum. These forums will gather key experts to share industry knowledge and the latest trends in sustainability, creating innovative partnerships for a sustainable future.
