Taiwan's Energy Administration led a delegation to Canada in June 2026 for the Taiwan-Canada Energy Working Group meeting. The group focused on advancing geothermal energy and hydrogen technologies, including blue hydrogen. Delegates visited Calgary for an industry roundtable and met with the Alberta Energy Regulator to discuss regulatory frameworks. The visit aimed to strengthen bilateral ties and accelerate Taiwan's low-carbon energy transition. By sharing expertise on geothermal development and clean hydrogen, both countries hope to build stronger supply chains and move closer to their 2050 net-zero goals. The working group will continue to support policy exchanges and technology deployment.

Geothermal and hydrogen cooperation between Taiwan and Canada. Good to see cross border work on next gen geothermal, but the article doesn't mention any specific projects or timelines. Would like to know what actual capacity they're targeting.

The blue hydrogen part is interesting. Canada has a lot of natural gas infrastructure. If they can pair it with carbon capture, it might be a bridge fuel. But the details on the capture rates and storage plans are missing here.

Geothermal is great for baseload, but the permitting and drilling costs are still high. Taiwan has some volcanic areas, but I wonder how much they can scale. The article doesn't mention any pilot plant or drilling targets.

Seems like a standard diplomatic trip. Working groups are fine, but without concrete MOUs or funding commitments, it's mostly talk. Hope they follow up with actual investment announcements.

The focus on regulatory exchange with the Alberta Energy Regulator is smart. Geothermal and hydrogen need clear rules to attract private capital. Taiwan could learn from Canada's experience in resource governance.
