The British Office Taipei, together with the British Chamber of Commerce in Taipei, Scottish Development International and 22 British renewable energy businesses, will be showcasing the UK’s offshore/floating wind and hydrogen/hydrogen mobility expertise at the ‘UK Offshore Wind Pavilion’ and ‘UK-Taiwan Hydrogen Pavilion’ at Energy Taiwan in Taipei Nangang Exhibition Centre Hall I on 19-21 October.

This is the second time that the UK participates with themed pavilions at the Energy Taiwan exhibition, demonstrating the UK’s commitment to support Taiwan’s 2050 net zero goals with strong renewable energy development.

UK Offshore Wind Pavilion
The UK is the world leader in offshore wind, and has the highest total pipeline of offshore wind globally, reaching up to 86 GW to date. Taiwan is now the UK’s largest offshore wind market in Asia Pacific region with over 36 UK offshore wind companies setting up offices in Taiwan, many of these offices serving as the regional Asia-Pacific hub.

Twelve UK companies will be exhibiting to showcase UK supply chain expertise on offshore and floating windfarm 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 will also be exhibiting at the pavilion this year.

John Dennis, Representative at the British Office Taipei will be opening the UK pavilion welcoming the industry practitioners to visit the Pavilion.

UK-Taiwan Hydrogen Pavilion
The British Office Taipei in partnership with Scottish Development International, Taiwan Institute of Economic Research and Taiwan Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Partnership, bring ten pioneering UK companies from across the hydrogen value chain to demonstrate the UK’s expertise on hydrogen compression solutions, hydrogen production, refuelling, storage, hydrogen fuel systems, and engineering and environmental consultancy.

Low carbon hydrogen play a critical role in energy transition to net zero. The UK Government has published a hydrogen strategy in 2021 to sets out the approach to developing a thriving low carbon hydrogen sector in the UK to meet its ambition for 5GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030.
