Taiwan Sugar signs MoU with US Grains and BioProducts Council to advance bioethanol development
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that Taiwan Sugar Corporation has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the US Grains and BioProducts Council (USGBC), establishing a framework for bioethanol technology exchange as the island moves to accelerate its transition towards low-carbon energy.
The agreement is intended to support Taiwan’s national strategy of achieving net-zero emissions and expanding green energy capacity. Under the partnership, both sides will collaborate on advancing bioethanol production, identifying suitable alternative feedstocks, and integrating new production technologies, according to the report.
The first phase of the partnership will therefore focus on identifying and assessing alternative feedstocks, with initial findings expected within a year, it added.
The agreement also feeds into Taiwan’s ambitions in the sustainable aviation fuel sector. Taiwan has set a target of achieving at least 5% SAF usage in international flights by 2030, and bioethanol is seen as a key input in developing these fuels and
reducing carbon emissions across road, maritime, and air transport.
