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.”
Intel Corp chief executive officer Lip-Bu Tan (陳立武) is expected to meet with Taiwanese suppliers next month in conjunction with the opening of the Computex Taipei trade show, supply chain sources said on Monday. The visit, the first for Tan to Taiwan since assuming his new post last month, would be aimed at enhancing Intel’s ties with suppliers in Taiwan as he attempts to help turn around the struggling US chipmaker, the sources said. Tan is to hold a banquet to celebrate Intel’s 40-year presence in Taiwan before Computex opens on May 20 and invite dozens of Taiwanese suppliers to exchange views
Application-specific integrated circuit designer Faraday Technology Corp (智原) yesterday said that although revenue this quarter would decline 30 percent from last quarter, it retained its full-year forecast of revenue growth of 100 percent. The company attributed the quarterly drop to a slowdown in customers’ production of chips using Faraday’s advanced packaging technology. The company is still confident about its revenue growth this year, given its strong “design-win” — or the projects it won to help customers design their chips, Faraday president Steve Wang (王國雍) told an online earnings conference. “The design-win this year is better than we expected. We believe we will win
Chizuko Kimura has become the first female sushi chef in the world to win a Michelin star, fulfilling a promise she made to her dying husband to continue his legacy. The 54-year-old Japanese chef regained the Michelin star her late husband, Shunei Kimura, won three years ago for their Sushi Shunei restaurant in Paris. For Shunei Kimura, the star was a dream come true. However, the joy was short-lived. He died from cancer just three months later in June 2022. He was 65. The following year, the restaurant in the heart of Montmartre lost its star rating. Chizuko Kimura insisted that the new star is still down
While China’s leaders use their economic and political might to fight US President Donald Trump’s trade war “to the end,” its army of social media soldiers are embarking on a more humorous campaign online. Trump’s tariff blitz has seen Washington and Beijing impose eye-watering duties on imports from the other, fanning a standoff between the economic superpowers that has sparked global recession fears and sent markets into a tailspin. Trump says his policy is a response to years of being “ripped off” by other countries and aims to bring manufacturing to the US, forcing companies to employ US workers. However, China’s online warriors
