DNV has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Metal Industries Research & Development Centre (MIRDC), a non-profit foundation focused on the promotion of the development and upgrading of metals and related industries in Taiwan.

The ceremony took place at the DNV Technology Center in Singapore, marking the start of a long-term collaboration aimed at advancing renewable energy technologies in Taiwan. Signing was conducted on October 18, 2024, at DNV Technology Centre in Singapore by Yung-Hsiang, Lai, CEO of MIRDC, and Dr Matthew Rowe, Director, Power Grids, APAC, Energy Systems, DNV. 

Under the three-year agreement, DNV and MIRDC will work together on a range of initiatives, including floating solar and wind technologies, energy storage, and hydrogen solutions. The partnership aims to contribute to Taiwan’s commitment for climate change action. 

Taiwan has made significant strides in its net-zero 2050 policy, with a strong focus on low-carbon energy sources like hydrogen and ammonia. As renewable energy adoption grows, enhancing energy storage systems will be critical to ensuring a resilient domestic power supply. Renewable hydrogen, in particular, offers a key solution for integrating intermittent energy sources and stabilizing the grid. Additionally, hydrogen technology offers versatile applications, from decarbonizing industrial processes to enhancing transportation solutions. By investing in these innovative technologies, the island can stabilize its energy supply, support a green economy and significantly reduce its carbon footprint, aligning with its ambitious climate goals.  

DNV has supported and continues to support companies in Taiwan in designing and implementing carbon reduction roadmaps, utilizing carbon reduction technologies, including hydrogen, ammonia, and CCS.
