Taiwan Carbon Exchange Signs MOU with European Energy Exchange

The Taiwan Carbon Exchange and the European Energy Exchange (EEX) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on June 27, 2025, in Leipzig, Germany, witnessed by Taiwan’s Minister of Environment and other officials.

• EEX will share its extensive experience in operating the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), including talent training, platform design, and operations, to support Taiwan’s ETS development.
• Taiwan plans to pilot the ETS in 2026 and implement it alongside the carbon fee system from 2027 to 2028, with cross-ministerial cooperation to establish legal frameworks and regulations.

This collaboration marks a significant step toward establishing a robust and transparent carbon trading platform in Taiwan, leveraging EU expertise to build the country’s ETS system.
