The ceremony took place at the DNV Technology Centre in Singapore, marking the start of a long-term collaboration aimed at advancing renewable energy technologies in Taiwan. Signing was conducted on 18 Oct 2024 at DNV Technology Centre in Singapore by Yung-Hsiang, Lai, CEO of MIRDC, and Dr Matthew Rowe, Director, Power Grids, APAC, Energy Systems, DNV.
Under the three-year agreement, DNV and MIRDC will work together on a range of initiatives, including floating solar and wind technologies, energy storage, and hydrogen solutions. The partnership aims to contribute to Taiwan’s commitment for climate change action.
Taiwan has made significant strides in its net-zero 2050 policy, with a strong focus on low-carbon energy sources like hydrogen and ammonia. As renewable energy adoption grows, enhancing energy storage systems will be critical to ensuring a resilient domestic power supply.
Renewable hydrogen, in particular, offers a key solution for integrating intermittent energy sources and stabilising the grid. Additionally, hydrogen technology offers versatile applications, from decarbonising industrial processes to enhancing transportation solutions. By investing in these innovative technologies, the island can stabilise its energy supply, support a green economy and significantly reduce its carbon footprint, aligning with its ambitious climate goals.
DNV has supported and continues to support companies in Taiwan in designing and implementing carbon reduction roadmaps, utilising carbon reduction technologies, including hydrogen, ammonia, and CCS.
“We are pleased to embark on this collaboration with DNV, a partner who is deeply invested in supporting the industry to accelerate the decarbonisation of energy to achieve a net zero future.and also brings invaluable technical capabilities” said Ren-Yi, Lin, Chairman of MIRDC. “MIRDC has been at the forefront of promoting sustainability and advancing renewable energy technologies, focusing on innovative solutions and research that align with global energy goals. By combining our expertise, we will create synergy that will further drive growth in the renewable energy technology in Taiwan,”
