Last year, the whole world experienced the Russian-Ukrainian war, inflation, Taiwan just went through the presidential election, 8 years have passed in a blink of an eye, looking back on the development of Taiwan's renewable energy industry in the past 8 years, the central government is in full swing to promote, but does the local sense of it? The energy storage market has gone from overheating to zero-yuan bidding, geothermal development is in full swing, offshore wind has come to the phase 3.2 auction stage, and there are still disputes between supply, demand and the capability. Will Taiwan's energy development fall into a situation where multibal goals developing in the same time but at a loss of what to do?

In the vast expanse of the ocean, where wind and waves meet, a revolution is underway. IMCA, the International Marine Contractors Association, leads the charge, driven by a resolute mission to foster safety and sustainability in the marine contracting industry. IMCA's origins can be traced back to 1972, in order to address the hazards and mitigate the severity and amount of accidents happening as a result of deep diving to support oil and gas development in the UK North Sea. Over the course of 25 years, IMCA has significantly expanded in both scope and scale to encompass a broader range of disciplines, all while staying true to their core value of safety. Given the technology and innovations accelerating the rate at which the industry is evolving will always require trained professionals to operate, and operating procedures will need be constantly updated. Their efforts are mirrored by Taiwan renewable energy developer, which empowers Taiwan's offshore frontiers, harnessing the potential of renewable resources.

As Taiwan navigates the complexities of its green transition, challenges abound. PwC sheds light on the hurdles and potential of this journey, urging a concerted effort towards a sustainable future. Sun-Han Hong emphasizes the need for profound energy conservation and diverse green energy approaches, marching towards the second wave of energy transition.

Amidst urgency spurred by climate change, Tze-Luen Lin reminds us that achieving net zero transformation demands not just technical prowess, but also imagination and creativity. Meanwhile, experts delve into demo projects worldwide for floating offshore wind turbines and ponder the acceleration of geothermal advancement post-net zero commitments.

In the exclusive columns of EnergyOMNI, the discourse takes a lighter tone. From the pitfalls of getting it wrong in the energy sector to the endless possibilities of offshore wind and ICT collaboration, and the evolving narrative of energy transition, the stage is set for exploration, innovation, and action.
