Taiwan Looks to Australia for Green Hydrogen Partnerships in Indo-Pacific
Key Ideas
  • Taiwan aims to collaborate with Australia in the energy field with a focus on green hydrogen production due to its surplus green energy capacity.
  • The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, a major chip manufacturer, is seeking partnerships to meet the energy-intensive demands of semiconductor production.
  • Australia's renewable energy resources and geographical proximity make it an ideal partner for Taiwan in the green hydrogen sector, enhancing energy security.
  • Joint statements from Indo-Pacific leaders highlight the importance of diversification of clean energy supply chains to ensure regional security and sustainability.
Taiwan is looking towards Australia as a potential partner in the green hydrogen sector to meet the energy needs of its semiconductor industry. The majority of the world's most advanced semiconductor chips are produced in Taiwan, presenting high energy demands. Taiwan's National Development Council Deputy Minister expressed the country's interest in collaborating with Australia, leveraging its surplus green energy for green hydrogen production. As Taiwan's energy-intensive industries, like chip manufacturing, continue to grow, the demand for power, including for artificial intelligence applications, is expected to increase. The partnership with Australia could help address Taiwan's energy security concerns and contribute to the diversification of clean energy supply chains in the Indo-Pacific region. This collaboration aligns with efforts to reduce emissions by extracting green hydrogen from water. The joint efforts between Taiwan and Australia in the green hydrogen sector could have positive implications for both countries and the region's energy security and sustainability.
