[Reporter Liao Jianing/Report from Taipei] The Ministry of Economic Affairs held the "2023 Taiwan International Geothermal Forum" today (9th). Vice Minister of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Zeng Wensheng said that today's forum can be said to be an important moment for Taiwan to accelerate the launch of geothermal power generation. With the support of large state-owned enterprises such as CNPC and Taipower, more private companies can be attracted to participate in cooperation, so that geothermal power generation can be compared with the development model of offshore wind power, and a clear development blueprint can be quickly established under the leadership of the government.

The "Taiwan International Geothermal Forum 2023" was initiated by the Taiwan Geothermal Resources Development Association, inviting international professional units to study the geothermal field. A total of 38 companies and 112 participants from the United States, Japan, New Zealand, Germany, Sweden, Italy and other countries Professionals come to Taiwan.

Zeng Wensheng pointed out in his opening speech that, looking at the current situation of my country's renewable energy development, under the government's plan, the green energy with the highest proportion of power generation in 2050 will be offshore wind power and photovoltaics, both of which are relatively mature in technology and also in line with Taiwan's special needs. geographical conditions.

He continued to point out that another important renewable energy that fits my country's special geographical environment is the abundant geothermal energy. The technology can be more mature and breakthroughs can be made for wider applications in Taiwan.”
