｜Germany Has Inaugurated Its "Hydrogen Core Network" As A Strategic Response to The Ongoing Energy Transition
Germany is set to invest 20 billion euros in the construction of approximately 9,700 kilometers of hydrogen network. This initiative, which has received approval from the Bundestag and awaits a vote by the Bundesrat, is designed to advance the transition towards a climate-friendly economy. The hydrogen infrastructure will find applications in heating, aviation, shipping, and other sectors, potentially replacing coal or natural gas. The program is projected to operate until 2032, with the possibility of an extension until 2037 to alleviate the financial responsibilities of industry stakeholders.

｜The Recovery of Brazil's Native Vegetation Has Been Slow－Significantly Falling Short of The Target Set For Restoration Efforts
Despite Brazil's pledge to restore 25 million hectares of native vegetation by 2030 to address the climate crisis, recent reports indicate that only 79,000 hectares have been restored thus far, significantly falling short of the target. This revelation comes on the eve of National Soil Conservation Day on April 14. Concurrently, deforestation and degradation have escalated in Brazil, resulting in the loss of 9.6 million hectares of native vegetation. In response, the Brazilian government has been reassessing environmental objectives and public policies since 2023 to align with international agreements.

｜TSC Launch Its First Citizen Power Plant Tender in Photovoltaic
The Taiwan Sugar Corporation (TSC) plans to establish the first citizen photovoltaic power plant in Chiayi Water Township. This initiative involves the manufacturer conducting bidding for the setup while also inviting residents to participate in its development. Through this collaborative effort, local residents will have the opportunity to share in the benefits of power generation. The primary objective is to enhance community involvement and encourage residents to contribute funds towards the establishment of ground-based solar photovoltaics through a public selection process. This approach aims to foster consensus on the development of green energy. Public participation not only facilitates the attainment of a low-carbon and sustainable lifestyle but also promotes a greater understanding of green energy concepts and secures long-term stable benefits for all involved.
