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.
AUSTRALIA’S GREEN HYDROGEN ADVANTAGE
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.”
