ACC Relationship With Taiwan x

The American Climate Club (ACC) has been actively engaged in international climate cooperation and energy transformation over the past year. We assist countries with technological limitations, resource shortages, or weak international relations in participating in climate change initiatives. On the eve of COP28, ACC established its first base in Asia, signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Taiwan’s leading university, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), a leader in semiconductor education, to create the American Taiwan Climate Club (ATCC). 

Given Taiwan’s long-standing partnership with the United States and its pivotal role in the high-tech supply chain, the establishment of ATCC enhances collaboration on climate issues, green manufacturing, international carbon trading, and carbon tariffs. Through a model of NGO-government collaboration, ACC supports U.S. efforts to lead in global climate solutions.   

Recently, ACC has opened formal communication channels with senior officials from Taiwan’s Presidential Office, the Executive Yuan, and the National Council for Sustainable Development, assisting Taiwan in joining the Energy Transition Accelerator (ETA) led by the U.S. Department of State. This collaboration will provide Taiwan a platform to voice its stance on global climate issues and foster deep cooperation with the U.S. on critical climate matters. 

Following the MOU, ATCC plans to officially launch after COP29, aiming to strengthen U.S.-Taiwan cooperation in six key areas: 

1

Climate and carbon education promotion

2

International connectivity

3

Carbon project investment

4

Carbon consulting services

5

Policy research and advisory think tanks

6

Integration of the U.S.-Taiwan semiconductor green supply chain

The ACC is dedicated to fostering collaboration between the United States and Taiwan to advance global climate protection efforts. 

Carbon Solutions x

 

Seizing Early Opportunities: Act Now

It’s critical for Taiwan to join the carbon market as soon as possible. Developed countries are already implementing unilateral policies and designing trade barriers under Article 6.2, which could disadvantage Taiwanese firms. By joining early, Taiwan can better position itself to benefit from the growing carbon market and avoid potential trade restrictions.

Opportunities for Carbon Reduction in Taiwan

Taiwan has the potential to play a significant role in the global effort to reduce carbon emissions. By implementing carbon-reducing methodologies, Taiwan can generate internationally recognized, domestically produced carbon credits. This not only benefits the environment but also creates new economic opportunities. CADA, a global organization present in 40 countries, can facilitate this process by connecting Taiwanese businesses with offset sellers and compliance buyers.

Investment Opportunities in Global Carbon Projects: Assisting Taiwan Enterprises and Supply Chains

ACC’s sister company, CADA, helps Taiwan enterprises and supply chains invest in carbon credit projects across the Americas, the Caribbean, and ASEAN. With the necessary expertise, CADA ensures Taiwan’s active engagement in the global carbon market, enhancing its sustainability efforts while opening new avenues for economic growth and collaboration in carbon trading.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)x

Expanding Carbon Reduction Efforts in TaiwanThis section answers frequently asked questions about using the international carbon credit market to support Taiwan’s sustainability goals.

What initiatives has ACC implemented that could be replicated in Taiwan?

ACC has successfully executed programs like the UNFCCC PoA 9358 (Petrotrin Oil Fields Associated Gas Recovery and Utilization) and UNFCCC PoA 9206 (RE2Grid PoA). These models can be used as frameworks for similar projects in Taiwan, focusing on gas recovery and renewable energy integration. 

How can Taiwan join the Energy Transition Accelerator (ETA)?

– Partner with ACC for expertise in carbon markets. 

– Demonstrate trading capability by reducing the carbon footprints of U.S. Fortune 100 companies. 

– Engage with NDC (Nationally Determined Contribution) initiatives, the preferred route for ETA tier 2 entry. 

Which departments should be involved in these efforts?

Collaboration across departments is key, with the NDC department being essential for tier 2 entry into ETA. 

How can ACC assist Taiwan in expanding to Latin America, the Caribbean, and ASEAN?

ACC will leverage its relationships with the UNFCCC and World Bank to help Taiwan enter these markets through partnerships with the NDC.

How can ACC help Taiwan navigate the One China policy?

As a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, ACC isn’t required to disclose its business partners or donors, allowing Taiwan to maintain a discreet relationship without conflicting with the One China policy.

Is it feasible to introduce green energy technology in Taiwan?

Absolutely. ACC’s sister company, Carbon Asset Developer Associates LLC, has strong connections with leading technology partners, enabling the introduction of cutting-edge green energy technologies in Taiwan.
