Development Strategies of Carbon Capture and Sequestration Industry Cluster in Taiwan

With other countries working actively to develop CCS technology and related industries, how can Taiwan approach the challenge of having the government coordinate the capabilities of government, industry, universities and research institutes and domestic and international technology, formulating a carbon reduction strategy to stimulate market demand, and making effective use of the extensive potential that geological conditions give Taiwan for carbon sequestration, so as to successfully develop a domestic CCS industry cluster. This is a key issue that will determine whether Taiwan is able to leverage its efforts with respect to carbon reduction to stimulate the growth of new industries, develop the emerging global CCS market, and create a low-carbon economy in Taiwan. This report analyze the key issues relating to the optimization of carbon reduction costs and carbon capture and storage in Taiwan, and present strategic recommendations regarding the ways in which the government can promote the development of a CCS industry cluster in Taiwan.
