｜Japanese Technology Determines Authenticity of Renewable Energy Sources, Accurately Assessing Corporate Carbon Emissions
Japan's largest power generator, JERA, is collaborating with the University of Tokyo Institute to develop a system for monitoring the flow of electricity between power generation and end-users. This system can accurately determine whether the energy comes from renewable sources and conducts monitoring on an hourly basis. This marks Japan's first service for managing electrical flow on a time-based unit.
｜Hungarian Government Allocates 453 Billion Forints in Subsidies for Installing Residential Solar Photovoltaic Panels and Storage Facilities
The Hungarian Ministry of Energy's latest announcement states that the 750 billion Forint "Napenergia Plusz" program, launched in January 2024, has received over 18,000 applications to date. Subsequently, subsidies totaling 453 billion Forints (approximately 41 billion New Taiwan Dollars) have been allocated to 11,800 applicants for the installation of residential solar photovoltaic panels and storage facilities. The aim is to enhance household energy independence and reduce electricity expenses.
｜Carbon Reduction Campaign Beyond Carbon Fees: Minister Chi-Ming Peng Promotes a "Green Growth Strategy"
Minister of the Environment Chi-Ming Peng, newly appointed, has outlined several policy objectives, including promoting a "Green Growth Strategy," involving experts and scholars in environmental impact assessments, and reviewing air quality standards. He emphasizes the prioritization of carbon fees but underscores that carbon reduction efforts cannot solely rely on them as a punitive measure. Examples such as Japan issuing climate bonds and the United States utilizing tax deductions are worth considering. In the future, suitable incentive policies tailored for Taiwan will be explored, aiming to strike a balance between incentives and penalties in carbon reduction efforts.
