On September 10, 2024, GreenHarvest was honored with the Australia-Taiwan Partnership Award at the 19th Annual ANZCham Business Awards, held at the Shangri-La’s Far Eastern Plaza Hotel in Taipei. This prestigious recognition not only highlights GreenHarvest’s steadfast commitment to fostering business ties between Australia and Taiwan, but also acknowledges the company’s significant contributions to the sustainable energy sector.
Since its inception, GreenHarvest has been at the forefront of promoting renewable energy development. Driven by its core values of innovation, collaboration, and sustainability, the company aims to establish itself as a one-stop service provider for RE100 solutions, empowering the Taiwanese government and local businesses to achieve their green transition goals and play a pivotal role in the global energy transformation. With an impressive portfolio of over 300 MW of installed solar capacity, GreenHarvest is on track to introduce more than 200 million kWh of green energy into the market annually.

THE ORIGINS OF THE GREEN HYDROGEN PROJECT
Since 2020, GreenHarvest has actively engaged in renewable energy trading, supplying renewable electricity to over 130 locations. Last year, the company partnered with the governments of Tainan City and Chiayi County to launch a renewable energy supply platform aimed at enhancing local businesses’ access to renewable electricity. Through in-depth research, GreenHarvest has identified green hydrogen as a crucial component in achieving 100% renewable electricity penetration in the future.

In its pursuit of green hydrogen solutions, GreenHarvest participated in the Taiwan-Australia Joint Energy and Minerals, Trade and Investment Cooperation Consultations, uncovering Australia’s substantial advantages in green hydrogen production. With a land area 130 times that of Taiwan, Australia boasts vast expanses of affordable land and abundant sunlight, resulting in some of the lowest solar power generation costs globally. The cost of renewable electricity in Australia is less than NT$1 per kilowatt-hour, approximately one-fifth of Taiwan’s renewable electricity purchase price. Recent government initiatives, including renewable energy and green hydrogen subsidy programs, have further solidified GreenHarvest’s confidence in investing in Australia’s green hydrogen sector.
INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION
GreenHarvest prioritizes Australia as a strategic partner. With active support from both the Taiwanese and Australian governments, and after multiple evaluations over a period of a year and a half, GreenHarvest signed an exclusive cooperation agreement in May with Australia’s H2U for a large-scale green hydrogen project. This collaboration will leverage Taiwan’s semiconductor expertise in water resource management and encourage Taiwanese companies to engage in hydrogen production through water electrolysis. Additionally, GreenHarvest plans to offer renewable energy forecasting and power dispatch technologies to optimize the green hydrogen production process, further enhancing the strategic partnership in sustainable energy between Taiwan and Australia.
LOOKING AHEAD: A COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE ENERGY
This award not only highlights GreenHarvest’s achievements in the green hydrogen sector but also underscores the importance of international collaboration in addressing global energy challenges. GreenHarvest looks forward to continuing its mission of promoting sustainable energy solutions while further strengthening the cooperative relationship between Taiwan and Australia.
Chairman KH Chen stated, “This award is a testament to our team’s relentless dedication and innovation. We remain committed to advancing hydrogen energy technology and contributing to the global energy transition.”
Zhang Yazhou was sitting in the passenger seat of her Tesla Model 3 when she said she heard her father’s panicked voice: The brakes do not work. Approaching a red light, her father swerved around two cars before plowing into a sport utility vehicle and a sedan, and crashing into a large concrete barrier. Stunned, Zhang gazed at the deflating airbag in front of her. She could never have imagined what was to come: Tesla Inc sued her for defamation for complaining publicly about the vehicles brakes — and won. A Chinese court ordered Zhang to pay more than US$23,000 in
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) yesterday said that its investment plan in Arizona is going according to schedule, following a local media report claiming that the company is planning to break ground on its third wafer fab in the US in June. In a statement, TSMC said it does not comment on market speculation, but that its investments in Arizona are proceeding well. TSMC is investing more than US$65 billion in Arizona to build three advanced wafer fabs. The first one has started production using the 4-nanometer (nm) process, while the second one would start mass production using the
A TAIWAN DEAL: TSMC is in early talks to fully operate Intel’s US semiconductor factories in a deal first raised by Trump officials, but Intel’s interest is uncertain Broadcom Inc has had informal talks with its advisers about making a bid for Intel Corp’s chip-design and marketing business, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Nothing has been submitted to Intel and Broadcom could decide not to pursue a deal, according to the Journal. Bloomberg News earlier reported that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) is in early talks for a controlling stake in Intel’s factories at the request of officials at US President Donald Trump’s administration, as the president looks to boost US manufacturing and maintain the country’s leadership in critical technologies. Trump officials raised the
From George Clooney to LeBron James, celebrities in the US have cashed in on tequila’s soaring popularity, but in Mexico, producers of the agave plant used to make the country’s most famous liquor are nursing a nasty hangover. Instead of bringing a long period of prosperity for farmers of the spiky succulent, the tequila boom has created a supply glut that sent agave prices slumping. Mexican tequila exports surged from 224 million liters in 2018 to a record 402 million last year, according to the Tequila Regulatory Council, which oversees qualification for the internationally recognized denomination of origin label.
