Nuclear Power Market in Taiwan

With Taiwan being majorly dependent on energy imports for supporting the country's growing power situation, nuclear energy is an option the government is actively exploring. At present, nuclear power only contributes 13% to the country's power generation mix.

After the Fukushima accident, the Taiwanese government reassessed the safety of its nuclear power plants, but there has been no change in the government's policy to pursue and develop nuclear power in the coming years.

In this industry scenario, Taiyou Research analyzes the Nuclear Power Market in Taiwan.

Divided into five chapters, this in-depth research offering from Taiyou Research is a complete analysis of the nuclear power market in Taiwan.

The report deals with an overview of the global power market which is consistently rising due to rapid industrialization resulting in ever increasing demand for power. 66% of global power market is dominated by thermal power sources viz. coal and petroleum but stringent emission norms and depletion of sources is driving global attention towards renewable technology and nuclear power with a 7.5% market share is going to play a major role in future.

In spite of the Chernobyl disaster and the more recent Fukushima setback, the global installed nuclear capacity is likely to increase at a CAGR of nearly 4% and nuclear generation at a CAGR of 3.9% during 2011-2020. In comparison to other technologies the nuclear power has a nominal impact on greenhouse gas emission.
