TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Energy Taiwan and Net-Zero Sustainability Expo launched on Wednesday, highlighting hydrogen and carbon management technologies while drawing an estimated 30,000 attendees.

Energy BG General Manager Lin Tian-yu (林恬宇) said 400 international companies have joined the RE100 renewable initiative, per CNA. They pledged 100% renewable energy by 2050, with Taiwan’s tech and finance sectors playing key roles.

Lin said low-carbon energy is essential for Taiwan’s industries to stay competitive in international supply chains. However, he said the transition requires strategies to address climate change and energy security,

Economic Affairs Vice Minister Lai Chien-hsin (賴建信) said Taiwan’s installed green energy capacity surpassed 22 GW as of August. Achieving net-zero will require regulatory reforms and financial incentives, he said.

The expo brought together 450 domestic and international companies across nearly 1,600 booths, showcasing energy-saving technologies and carbon credit trading. About 20% of exhibitors are foreign, with over 700 international buyers from 57 countries attending.

Organizers said the event aims to highlight Taiwan’s commitment to sustainable energy while connecting global buyers with cutting-edge technologies.
