位於冰島、世界最大的碳捕捉與封存工廠即將落成，這間工廠運用新興技術和地理環境，把二氧化碳轉變為石頭，埋藏在地表下，預計每年能轉換4000噸二氧化碳，相當於790輛汽車的一年排碳量。

💥 六道地爆天星！ 🌒
Climeworks AG 與 Carbfix 兩家公司攜手建造的冰島世界最大 CCS 工廠可以將每年逾千噸二氧化碳捕捉後轉變成「石頭」，再「封印」在地底下！

🦘國發會龔明鑫主委於4月6日接見澳洲辦事處新任代表露珍怡女士(Ms. Jenny Bloomfield)等一行3人，露代表此行係今年2月1日來台就任後首度至本會進行禮貌性拜會，雙方就雙語國家政策、能源轉型、創新創業合作及投資、防疫科技、數位轉型以及APEC多邊參與等議題廣泛交換意見。

On April 6, NDC Minister Kung received Ms. Jenny Bloomfield, Representative of the Australian Office Taipei, who made a courtesy call since officially taking this post in Taiwan earlier this year on February 1.
　　
During the conversation, both parties exchanged their views on several important issues of mutual interest including Taiwan’s Bilingual Nation 2030 policy, energy transition, startups cooperation& investment, pandemic-prevention technologies, digital transformation, as well as the participation in the multilateral mechanisms, such as APEC.
　　
Minister Kung stated that energy transition and digital transformation were two major aspects for Taiwan’s future development and Taiwan could learn from Australia. Specifically, Minister Kung indicated that Australia could be a trustworthy partner for assisting Taiwan in energy transition for pursuing green growth, a common goal shared by both sides, namely, deploying new technologies so as to provide safe, stable and affordable energy supply for our people, while reducing carbon emission. As Taiwan and Australia are complementary to each other in terms of industrial development, we are to strengthen cooperation in such areas of renewable energy (e.g. offshore wind, hydrogen energy, LNG) as well as CCS (carbon capture and sequestration) techniques, etc.
　　
Minister also mentioned that since both parties have attached great importance to digital issues including cybersecurity, both sides should initiate bilateral dialogues on related issues of mutual concern, notably on the fronts of smart city applications & services, cybersecurity and privacy protection, so as to deepen bilateral collaboration and exchanges in the future.
