Sweden is calling for deeper cooperation with Taiwan on clean energy and sustainability to reach shared net-zero targets.
Speaking in Taipei on 4 December, Sweden’s top envoy in Taiwan, Helena Reitberger, urged broader, long-term energy collaboration. She highlighted Sweden’s experience with public–private partnerships as a model for Taiwan’s energy transition.
Energy resilience was a key theme at the roundtable hosted by the Swedish Trade and Invest Council. Reitberger stressed that reliable, clean power is essential for overall societal resilience.
Swedish firm Baseload Capital pointed to Taiwan’s strong geothermal potential as a 24/7 baseload option for tech companies and data centres. Geothermal power, they said, can complement intermittent renewables like solar and wind.
The discussion also showcased Sweden–Taiwan cooperation on marine energy through the Minesto initiative. Swedish marine power devices are being tested with Taiwanese partners to harness low-flow tides and ocean currents off eastern Taiwan.
