Taiwan's net-zero transition and energy resilience reached an important milestone as Taiwan Mobile, Fubon Group, and Academia Sinica jointly presented the Net-Zero Technology Research Chairs, recognizing 32 outstanding researchers for their achievements in geothermal and ocean energy research. The honored teams achieved two landmark breakthroughs for Taiwan by completing the country's first deep geothermal exploration well and successfully conducting real-sea validation of Kuroshio power generation, marking significant progress toward strengthening Taiwan's long-term energy resilience.
Since launching the Net-Zero Technology Research and Development Program in July 2023, Taiwan Mobile, Fubon Group, and Academia Sinica have worked together through a public-private partnership to accelerate the development of next-generation net-zero technologies, including decarbonized hydrogen, geothermal energy, and ocean energy.
Corporate Influence Drives Scientific Innovation Through Public-Private Collaboration
Daniel Tsai, Chairman of Fubon Group and Taiwan Mobile, said that amid growing global energy uncertainty and the rapid rise of AI computing demand, stable and low-carbon energy has evolved from a cost consideration into a strategic foundation for industrial competitiveness. Under the leadership of Academia Sinica President James Liao, Academia Sinica has advanced its "Five Net-Zero Technology Initiatives," aligning scientific research with industry needs and accelerating the journey of breakthrough technologies from laboratory research to real-world validation, while steadily building Taiwan's indigenous energy capabilities.
Tsai noted that Academia Sinica has already achieved several major milestones, including integrating decarbonized hydrogen technology with commercial power generation systems, completing a 3,500-meter deep geothermal exploration well, and successfully conducting real-sea testing of a 100 kW Kuroshio power generation system. These achievements represent a significant step forward in the development of reliable baseload renewable energy in Taiwan. By advancing technologies from research to real-world deployment through public-private collaboration, Taiwan can reduce its reliance on imported energy while building a more resilient and reliable energy system. Looking ahead, Taiwan Mobile will continue investing in net-zero technologies and the energy transition to support the growing demand from AI and other energy-intensive industries, while further strengthening Taiwan's long-term energy resilience.
Completing a Critical Piece of the Energy Transition in the AI Era
Jamie Lin, President of Taiwan Mobile, said Taiwan's unique geography—surrounded by the ocean and located at the intersection of tectonic plates—provides abundant marine and geothermal resources. Academia Sinica's breakthroughs in both fields represent exactly the kind of green energy solutions needed to build a smarter nation, providing a critical missing piece in Taiwan's energy transition for increasingly power-intensive AI applications and other high-density electricity demand scenarios.
Lin said he was honored to witness the remarkable progress achieved over the three-year collaboration. True to their pioneering spirit, the geothermal and ocean energy research teams successfully reached key technological milestones, and he expressed confidence that these breakthroughs will create lasting value for Taiwan's future energy mix.
As Taiwan Mobile accelerates AI innovation, the company is also advancing sustainability through technology. In addition to committing more than NT$10 billion in green energy investments, Taiwan Mobile is leveraging AI to significantly improve energy efficiency across its base station network while continuing to advance the Taiwan Mobile Blue Carbon Mangrove Restoration Project. Through these long-term initiatives, renewable energy accounted for 17% of the company's total electricity consumption in 2025, while both its renewable electricity volume and renewable energy ratio ranked first among Taiwan's telecommunications operators. Taiwan Mobile remains firmly on track toward its RE100 commitment by 2040, advancing technology-driven lifestyles while protecting the planet we all share.
