Jason Huang, Founder and CEO of RECCESSARY, will appear in person at the "New Energy and Carbon Market Business Opportunities Forum" on June 19. Through a highly interactive format, the forum aims to deliver a fresh and immersive market experience for attendees.
Asia's leading zero-carbon information platforms, RECCESSARY and EnergyOMNI, are set to co‐host the "New Energy and Carbon Market Opportunities Forum" on June 19. With ticket prices exceeding NT$2,000, this professional gathering will spotlight Virtual Power Plants, hydrogen energy, retail power platforms, carbon removal, carbon trading, and more—promising domestic audiences a fresh and immersive market experience.
Collaborative synergy between two platforms
One question on everyone's mind: Why have two seemingly competitive outlets joined forces? RECCESSARY's Founder and CEO, Jason Huang (黃公暉), explains that while both RECCESSARY and EnergyOMNI cover renewable energy, each brings a unique strength—EnergyOMNI in policy analysis and RECCESSARY in corporate supply-chain insights. "Media organizations need not compete exclusively," Huang says. "By pooling our expertise, we amplify reach and awareness."
Drawing on his extensive participation in international conferences, Huang has elevated the forum's caliber by hosting it in a hotel venue, pricing admission above NT$2,000 to include a plated luncheon and refreshments. Extended breaks between morning and afternoon sessions will transform traditional coffee breaks into interactive networking salons, fostering deeper peer‐to‐peer engagement rather than a one-way lecture format.
In Huang's view, the focus should not only be on content delivery but on creating a dynamic dialogue. He aims for panel discussions that enable robust audience participation, shaping the discourse in real time. "At international conferences, speakers openly debate policy rationales—even without reaching consensus, the exchange of ideas clarifies diverse perspectives. In Taiwan, some topics become taboo. Yet a forum's true value lies in airing, understanding, and resolving issues collaboratively—not in monologue."
The "New Energy and Carbon Market Business Opportunities Forum" will follow an international conference model, emphasizing not only the content of the presentations but also the speakers' on-site insights and elaborations. The event will include an open Q&A session to enhance audience engagement and dialogue.
Delivering Asia-Pacific perspectives to close information gaps
Since its launch in 2023, RECCESSARY has pursued its founding mission: to supply Asia-Pacific–centric insights on new energy and carbon markets. Huang, whose background is in competitive intelligence, began competitor analyses in early 2022 and noted a conspicuous Eurocentric bias in carbon-market coverage. "While European platforms abound, Asia lacked comparable media dedicated to both energy and carbon. We identified a vacuum," he recalls.
Based in Taiwan, RECCESSARY leverages its geographic advantage to link Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, Greater China, India, and Australia as an informational hub. Huang emphasizes that although new energy and carbon initiatives require sustained development, each country's industrial structure, economic context, and development stage differ. "We must avoid transplanting European regulations wholesale; instead, local stakeholders should craft bespoke frameworks grounded in thorough, localized understanding."
Rather than offering superficial overviews, RECCESSARY blends editorial content with rigorous research, catering to readers who seek more than introductory articles. For those exploring how new-energy adoption or carbon management impacts businesses and individuals, RECCESSARY delivers in-depth analyses that go beyond the basics.
In particular, RECCESSARY focuses on the under-reported Southeast Asian market. Amid U.S.–China trade tensions shifting manufacturing hubs to ASEAN, information asymmetry hinders both local governments and foreign enterprises. "Our goal is to level the playing field, ensuring smoother communication and collaboration," Huang says.

From analyst to media founder: Scaling industry influence
Although not a traditional journalist, Huang views RECCESSARY as an extension of his earlier work as a market analyst—where he empowered clients through strategic insights, risk mitigation, and opportunity identification. "By founding a media platform, we amplify our influence, helping industries navigate energy and carbon transitions. Policymakers can learn from global best practices, spurring more public‐private partnerships."
Looking ahead, RECCESSARY will roll out a subscription-based news service, building a value chain of information that enables enterprises to gain competitive advantage—and embrace the principle that "insight has value," encouraging paid access to professional content.
Nonetheless, organizing this forum has its challenges, notably the uncertainty triggered by U.S. tariff policies under the Trump administration. Huang reframes this as an opportunity: "Many firms perceive energy and carbon transitions as cost burdens. Yet crises breed innovation. My hope is to guide enterprises toward shifting mindsets and uncovering hidden market prospects amid adversity."
