"Taiwan's industries are export-oriented. We need to break into the global green supply chain," she added.Taiwan said last year it intended to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and the government has pledged to spend NT$900 billion by 2030 towards that end. This week, the cabinet approved a draft amendment of climate legislation that includes the 2050 net-zero goal and the introduction of a carbon pricing scheme.
Tsai said that by 2050, renewable energy should account for more than 60% of Taiwan's power supply, while hydrogen should account for around 10% and thermal power generation with carbon capture around 20%. By comparison, in 2020, coal provided 45% of Taiwan's electricity while liquefied natural gas provided around 36%, government data shows., the world's largest contract manufacturer and a major Apple supplier, said on Friday it also aims to have net-zero emissions by 2050 and plans to use "at least 50% green power" by 2030.
