Come and Join us for the 2023 Taiwan-EU Environment and Technology Forum on 13 October, 2023, focusing on Taiwan Renewable Market and Corporate ESG Transition: Risks & Challenges !
This forum, hosted by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), the European Chamber of Commerce Taiwan - Low Carbon Initiative (LCI), and the European Union Center in Taiwan (EUTW), will take place on 13 October, 2023. As global corporations commit to net-zero emissions, energy transition policies worldwide are creating both opportunities and risks. In 2022, global energy transition investment reached $1.1 trillion, a 31% increase. In Taiwan, the development and procurement of green energy (CPPA) have become a focal point. The 2022 RE100-LCI report highlights that, due to Taiwan's 2021 policy requiring major electricity consumers (around 300 companies with a contract capacity exceeding 5,000 kW) to procure 10% renewable energy by 2025, demand for renewable energy has surged. This is expected to add approximately 1 GW. Effective policy changes continue to drive the energy transition, making sustainable development a significant export opportunity for Taiwan. Governments and businesses worldwide have made green energy a top priority. This forum will focus on quantifying risks, formulating policies, and interpreting market dynamics to address this major transition, examining these issues from both a global and Taiwanese perspective. Registration Information: Time: 13 October, 2023, 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM Venue: Pioneer International Building, 3rd Floor, "Trend Lecture Hall" (No. 46, Section 3, Zhongxiao East Road, Taipei) Note: The organizers reserve the right to review attendance. Registration is only confirmed upon receiving a confirmation email. We welcome your active participation!
