Subject: NSTC and TSMC are jointly soliciting proposals for the 2027 "Survey of Geological Carbon Sequestration Potential Sites in Taiwan". Applications will be accepted from now until November 13, 2026 (internal submissions only).

Notes:
1. Please refer to the attachments for the project solicitation instructions, or download them from the NSTC website (News/Project Solicitation section) or the announcement page of the Office of Natural Sciences and Sustainable Research and Development.

2. This solicitation will be processed in two phases. For the first phase, please submit your proposal along with a letter to NSTC by November 17, 2026, using the postmark as proof. The proposal must include a complete electronic file, provided via a valid download link or stored on a physical device (such as a CD or USB flash drive). Physical devices will not be returned after the review process.

3. NSTC will separately notify applicants whose proposals are approved after the written review of the final submission deadline. If different proposals are found to have highly related research content or resource-sharing benefits, the NSTC may require the relevant proposing organizations to merge into a project team and submit a complete integrated project proposal.

4. This project is a collaborative project between NSTC and enterprises. NSTC will not provide an appeal mechanism for proposals that fail to pass the review.
