international visibility. In education, technology education was strengthened through initiatives to enhance teachers' AI literacy and improve digital teaching practices. Moreover, the application of 5G technology to create interactive cultural experience spaces attracted more than 2.12 million participants, expanding the societal impact of technology and culture. General Science and Technology Performance: Net-Zero Sustainability To accelerate the net-zero transition in industry: The government engaged companies in key sectors (e.g., steel and petrochemicals) in emissions reduction efforts, mobilizing more than 38,000 firms that accounted for over 70% of emissions in the manufacturing sector to implement carbon management initiatives. Furthermore, 96 agricultural decarbonization technologies were successfully deployed to reduce the emissions of hard-to-abate greenhouse gases. Digital soil mapping was also used to produce an accurate estimate of 59.2 million metric tons of soil carbon stock, promoting future carbon sink enhancement. Through the combined adoption of a carbon fee system and voluntary reduction plans, 2.14 million metric tons of emissions reductions were successfully achieved. To ensure sustainable development: Advanced wind farm forecasting technologies reduced offshore wind development and O&M costs, and an MWh-scale flow battery demonstration was also successfully conducted. The first AI home energy management system was introduced, and domestically produced magneticbearing centrifugal chillers with up to 60% energy efficiency were designed. Pollution control was enhanced using remote sensing and smart enforcement. By thermally destroying high-GWP refrigerants in a controlled facility, over 110,000 tons of CO2e emissions were avoided. A wide, three-dimensional marine-atmospheric observation network was established, and a joint Taiwan-Palau observation initiative XVIII
