Taiwan Chip Industry Pushes for Faster Renewable Energy to Power AI Growth and Reach Net-Zero Emissions Goal

Taiwan's chip industry aims to work with government to achieve 2050 net-zero goal, but faster renewable energy development needed as AI demand grows.

TSMC executive says AI offers opportunity not seen in decades, requires industry transformation in R&D, manufacturing and global layout.

Stable, renewable energy supply key to developing chip industry and capturing AI opportunity. Industry appeals to government for more active renewable energy development.

Reaching net-zero goal by 2050 agreed by industry and government, but supply of renewable energy lags semiconductor industry demand.

In addition to renewable energy supply concerns, chip companies worried about affordability of green energy as industry grows.
