Integration project of air quality improvement for Kao-Pin air quality district

Absrtact
The main purpose of this two-consecutive-year project is to reinforce the system integrity of total quantity control plan, by expanding the trial area of recognizing stationary source emissions from Kao-Pin air basin to Central air basin, predicting offset credits of demand and supply within this area for coming three years. In addition, this project drafts the priority of Kao-Pin air basin’s PM2.5 control strategies, estimate potential emission reductions from major stationary sources, Mobil sources and fugitive sources and the related works. The main results states as follows. 1. Based on the recent project results, reinforce the review process of emission quantity recognition, as well as the draft document of Kao-Pin area air pollutants total quality control plan. Regarding corresponding works above including: (1) Evaluate whether the new entry stationary sources could find enough emission reduction credits(ERCs) by predict of Kao-Pin area’s potential increment from stationary sources within three years from now and estimate ERCs created from various sources. (2) Study and suggest the priority of Kao-Pin PM2.5 control strategies based on Kao-Pin PM2.5 pollution characteristics. (3) Review and analyze the ERCs methodology from moil sources and fugitive sources. (4) Analyze the potential emission reduction feasibility from electricity industry and iron & steel industry within Kao-Pin area. (5) Suggest cohesion and promotion ways between the total quantity control and local autonomous regulations. (6) Study and analyze the economic incentives of emissions reduction after the total quantity control system initiate. 2. Reinforce the capacity building regarding implementation of total quantity control for Kao-Pin local authorities Besides analyzing the trends of Kao-Pin air quality and PM2.5 monitoring data, In order to fulfill the implementation of the total quantity control, this project established emissions recognition application review procedure by reexamine the 30 application cases from Lin Yuan, Da-Fa and Da-She industrial areas. Additionally, half-day training courses regarding the review skills of emissions recognition have been provided during this project period. 3. Capacity building regarding implementation of total quantity control for Central air basin’s major stationary sources. While planning the implementation areas of total quantity control will include other air basins through different phases, this project helps 20 local major stationary sources, within Central air basin which includes Taichung city, Changhua county, and Nantou county, to go through the application process of emissions recognition. Additionally, half-day training courses regarding how to apply emissions recognition have been provided for local stationary sources during this project period. 4. Maintenance and functions modified for Air pollutant emission reduction credits registry(ERCs Registry). Other than routinely update the status of emissions recognition , news regarding other countries’ air pollutants cap and trade sheme, within ERCs Registry has been performed biannual bases, six functions of ERCs Registry have been modified.
