About this episode
The episode discusses Taiwan's plans to increase geothermal energy production and features an interview with Van Hoang from Baseload Power.
Over the next decade Taiwan hopes to add at least one giga-watt of geo-thermal energy to its electrical grid, or the equivalent of one nuclear reactor. This week in Taiwan Talk, ICRT’s Tim Berge speaks to Van Hoang from Sweden’s Baseload Power… which recently signed an agreement in Hualien to develop a geothermal plant in the Hongye community. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
