The Taiwan-Australia Joint Energy and Minerals, Trade and Investment Cooperation Consultations took place Aug. 26 in Taipei City, the Ministry of Economic Affairs said.
The daylong event was convened by Wu Chih-wei, director general of Taiwan’s Energy Administration, and Alison Drury, A/g head of the Division of International Strategy and National Security at the Australian Department of Industry, Science and Resources.
According to the EA, the two sides exchanged views on energy transition, natural gas supply, hydrogen cooperation, resource trade and key minerals, as well as concluding a strategic partnership action plan.
Wu said Australia is a staunch, long-standing energy and mineral partner of Taiwan. Taiwan is stepping up energy transition by developing diverse green energy sources, promoting deep energy saving and enhancing energy resilience and security.
The director general said Australia’s policies on clean energy promotion are creating more opportunities for the two sides to expand cooperation on low-carbon industries. He also thanked Canberra for keeping Taiwan up to date on its natural gas export policies amid the current unstable global energy supply chain.
The EA said the two sides agreed that developing resilient and affordable clean energy is key to maintaining their respective industry sectors’ competitiveness and recognized the importance of artificial intelligence to emerging industries.
Given Taiwan’s position as a global front-runner in offshore energy generation and Australia’s high solar penetration rate, the administration expressed hope of seeing the two sides expand partnership in developing clean energy technologies. (SFC-E)
