Bringing 22 UK companies across the offshore wind and hydrogen
sectors and in partnership with the British Chamber of Commerce
in Taipei and Scottish Development International, the British
Office Taipei host two themed pavilions - ‘UK Offshore Wind
Pavilion’ and ‘UK-Taiwan Hydrogen Pavilion’, at the ‘Energy
Taiwan 2022’ exhibition to demonstrate the UK’s supports for
Taiwan’s renewable energy ambitions and 2050 net zero goals.
The UK is the world leader in clean growth, and is the first
major economy to pass legislation for net zero. The UK has been
working closely with all partners, including Taiwan, to inspire
global climate actions, and is committed to sharing expertise on
offshore wind and hydrogen sectors as well as skills and
workforce planning for the renewable energy development.
John Dennis, Representative at the British Office Taipei, stated
at the opening of UK Pavilion today:
The UK is partnering with Taiwan to turbo-change its offshore
wind sector to become the regional leader in clean growth.
British companies are at the forefront of Taiwan offshore wind
industry with 38 UK offshore wind companies having opened offices
in Taiwan. With momentum towards net zero gathering pace, the UK
has come to this Energy Taiwan exhibition again to work closely
with Taiwan in its energy transition.
UK Offshore Wind Pavilion
Venue: Booth K616c, Taipei Nangang Exhibition Centre Hall I
The UK Government has set an ambition to achieve up to 50GW of
offshore wind by 2030, with 5GW of this utilising floating
technology. The UK is home to the world’s first floating wind
farm and has one of the world’s largest commercial leasing rounds
for floating offshore wind with the highest total pipeline of
offshore wind globally, reaching up to 86 GW to date.
Twelve UK companies are showcasing the UK’s expertise on offshore
and floating wind farm on planning & construction,
engineering consultancy services, subsea equipment rental,
O&M services, floating wind technology, and temporary power
& temperature solutions for offshore and floating wind farms.
The UK’s credit agency, UK Export Finance that provided more than
four hundred million pounds in credit guarantees to three
offshore wind farms in Taiwan is also exhibiting at the pavilion
this year.
UK-Taiwan Hydrogen Pavilion
Venue: Booth K0508, Taipei Nangang Exhibition Centre Hall I
The UK Government has published a hydrogen strategy in 2021 to
meet its ambition for 5GW of low carbon hydrogen production
capacity by 2030. The strategy includes a chapter on how the UK
is working with other leading hydrogen nations to drive global
leadership on the development of low carbon hydrogen to support
the world’s transition to net zero.
Ten pioneering UK companies from across hydrogen value chain are
showcasing at the inaugural UK-Taiwan Hydrogen Pavilion to share
the UK’s expertise on hydrogen compression solutions, hydrogen
production, refuelling, storage, hydrogen fuel systems, and
engineering and environmental consultancy.
The UK-Taiwan Hydrogen Forum, organised in partnership with the
Taiwan Institute of Economic Research and Taiwan Hydrogen &
Fuel Cell Partnership, will focus on the UK-Taiwan future
collaboration on zero emission mobility solutions, including
hydrogen-electric city buses, inter-city coaches and refuse
collection vehicles.
