Palau Promotes Net-Zero Transition with Support from TaiwanICDF

A solar photovoltaic system installed at the Palau National Aquaculture Center through cooperation between the International Cooperation and Development Fund (TaiwanICDF) and the government of Palau went online on September 10, 2024. Taiwan's Ambassador to Palau, Jessica Chienyi Lee, and Palau’s Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, Steven Victor, attended the inauguration ceremony for the new system, showcasing the long-standing partnership between the two nations. The event highlighted the nations’ shared commitment to addressing climate change and achieving energy independence, with hopes for more collaborations in the future.

Making use of the center as a facility for both agricultural production and environmental education, the Taiwan Technical Mission (TTM) in Palau and Taiwan's Tatung Forever Energy Co. held an event on September 11, demonstrating the functions of the solar panels and their applications in fisheries and aquaculture. Thirty Palauan high school students and teachers participated, gaining technical knowledge, and engaging in hands-on activities using digital measurement tools. The event gave the participants a deeper understanding of the role renewable energy plays in reducing carbon emissions and facilitating sustainable development. During the event, the mission also showcased the latest progress in Palau’s Coastal Fishery Resource Management Project and explained how renewable energy technology is integrated into the project, and the daily operations of the local fishery. Students actively participated in the Q&A session, further deepening their knowledge of green energy and sustainable development.

To continue promoting renewable energy technology and sustainability, the mission will hold a second event on October 22, providing more opportunities for Palauan youth to learn and engage. This initiative aims to foster long-term cooperation between the two nations and support environmental protection and net-zero transition goals.
