Project for Establishing Cities' Carbon Inventory, Registration and Disclosure Service Platform Syst

Absrtact
The Project has followed international development trends and assisted two domestic cities in keeping track of their GHG emissions. At the same time, the Project has established a carbon disclosure service platform system for cities. Through these achievements, the Project can build up not only GHG emission baseline for cities, but also the capability of emission reduction in the future. The accomplishments of the Project are summarized below: 1.Studying international guidelines and methodologies To promote cities’ carbon management, the Project has compiled the international organization of cities (including ICLEI and CDP Cities) and international inventory guidelines (including IEAP, LGOP, City-GHG, and GPC). Moreover, the Project has conducted case studies for New York City, Shenyang, and Dublin. 2. Tentative run of city-level GHG inventory guidance The Project has followed the “City-level GHG inventory guideline” of Taiwan and has completed the inventory processing for Taichung City and Yilan County (including both citywide and city government inventories) to facilitate the identification of major emission sources for future planning of potential emissions reduction strategies. The emission inventory of Taichung City indicates the largest emission source from the energy sector (89%), including 65% from industrial energy use, 12% from residential and commercial energy consumption, and 12% from transportation, while the second largest emission comes from the industrial processes sector (9%). On the other hand, the city government GHG inventory shows most emission from the waste sector (65%), followed byand the energy sector (35%). Under the same scenario, the citywide emission inventory of Yilan County shows the largest emission from the energy sector (98%) including 60% from industrial energy use, 28% from transportation, and 9% from residential and commercial energy consumption; while the agriculture sector (2%) is the second. Furthermore, the city government of Yilan County emits the most GHG in the waste sector (64%) followed by the energy sector (36%). The results of the Project were written into respective resports. 3. Building city-level carbon disclosure service platform system Based on international registry platform (for example: cCCR), as well as our City-level GHG inventory guideline, the Project has built cities' carbon disclosure service platform system. This system focuses on registration and disclosure, and also provides cities for recording emissions. 4. Holding information sessions and training programs To promote cities to carry out GHG emission inventory, the Project has held 10 information sessions, and 4 training programs. Through advocacy and education, responsible local government personnel are expected to be able to perform GHG inventory independently.
