“…Taiwan has been involved in post-combustion CCUS since 1988, with the Bureau of Energy and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) conducting various research and evaluation programs. Several large-scale projects have been implemented, such as the calcium-looping CO 2 capture technology in Heping Cement Plant located in Hualien [68], microalgae cultivation to capture emissions from thermal power plants through photosynthesis in Dalin Power Plant located in Taichung [69], and geological surveys on the possibility of CO 2 sequestration in saline aquifers in Miaoli Yonghe Mountain and the Zhangbin Industrial Zone, which were carried out by the China National Petroleum Corporation and the Taiwan Power Company, respectively [70].…”

For achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, countries worldwide are committed to setting ambitious carbon reduction targets. In 2022, the officially published report, “Taiwan’s Pathway to Net-Zero Emissions in 2050”, sets out a comprehensive transition plan based on four fundamental strategies: energy, industrial, lifestyle, and social. This transition will likely entail an infrastructure transformation in all sectors of the economy, embracing renewable energy, electricity, and low-carbon fuels. While the Taiwan government is rolling up its sleeves to accelerate the pace of carbon-emission reduction, it is risky to set targets without considering the full implications of net-zero emission and how it will be achieved. This paper provides four insights into Taiwan’s net-zero-emission plan from a perspective of the current understanding of decarbonization and the techniques urgently needed. Although many uncertainties and outstanding questions exist in our net-zero energy systems, and the required granular information for decision makers to track progress has not been clearly identified, this paper points out the characteristics that have been neglected and provides guidance for all stakeholders—governments, businesses, investors, and citizens—to work together on a coordinated plan to tackle climate change.
