To support global energy transition and net-zero emissions goals, TSC today (May 5) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council (USGBC) to establish a cooperation platform on bioethanol production technologies and applications, aiming to advance the development of the biofuels industry and accelerate Taiwan’s net-zero transformation.
At 10 a.m. today, TSC Chairman Wu Ming-Chang and USGBC Global Vice President Cary Sifferath signed the “MOU on Technical Exchange and Promotion Cooperation for Bioethanol” in the presence of Steve Burgoon, Deputy Chief of the Agricultural Section at the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT). The agreement marks a new milestone in Taiwan-U.S. green energy cooperation and reflects TSC’s commitment to national net-zero goals, as well as its efforts to connect with global biofuel technologies and industry resources under “TSC at 80: Sustainable Momentum,” advancing circular economy and green energy development.
TSC noted that bioethanol can serve as a blending component for transportation fuels and is closely linked to the future development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). It plays a pivotal role in reducing transport-sector emissions, strengthening alternative fuel strategies, and enhancing the resilience of Taiwan’s green supply chain.
Going forward, TSC will work with USGBC and other international partners to exchange expertise on bioethanol production technologies, application promotion, fuel standards, and market development. The collaboration will also help raise Taiwan’s international visibility in bioenergy and contribute to the nation’s low-carbon transport development and industrial net-zero transition.
