Local geothermal experts have decided to tap the Jinshan District, which is part of the Tatun Volcano Group in Taiwan.
Good news from Taiwan, where local news state that the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) said yesterday that “it will begin a resource development plan to harness geothermal energy from the Tatun Volcano Group by building a station in New Taipei’s Jinshan District”
The same source states that “after two years of geographic surveillance and analysis of geothermal data, experts decided that a location in the mountainous Jinshan District, a part of the Tatun Volcano Group”
This will allow to generate around 7MW of electricity contributing to reduce carbon emissions and provide heating for housing projects.
