We analyze energy security through a regional lens, viewing Taiwan as part of the broader East Asian energy import corridor alongside Japan and South Korea. Our research audits the vulnerability of maritime fuel logistics (SLOCs), the stability of regional grids under extreme climate stress, and the geopolitical race for Net-Zero technologies. We assess how global energy price volatility impacts the cost structures of island economies.

Furthermore, as the EU and US tighten carbon border taxes (CBAM), navigating the region's fragmented green energy regulations is essential for maintaining global competitiveness and avoiding "green protectionism."
