The purposes of this project are promoting and authorizing the Carbon Labeling and Carbon Reduction Labeling to achieve the goal of GHG emissions reduction. (1)Staying up to date with the latest trend of global development in carbon footprint. Achievements include making an accommodation with Korea and Thailand of PCRs, and analyzing the difference between PEFCR and PCR established by Taiwan EPA. (2)Being guidance counselors to help enterprises applying for Carbon Labeling. Taking livelihood and benefit of promotion into consideration, this project chose 3 staples to establish the PCRs and 6 products to calculate the carbon footprint. Otherwise, the training course for guidance counselors was held to make sure the procedure and standard would be unity among these counselors. (3)Completing the Carbon Labelling examination work. As part of efforts by the Environmental Protection Administration (or EPA) in pushing forward for product footprint labelling, 9 training sessions are convened for the carbon footprint review team, 11 sessions for the technical team, 1 group meeting for the promotion team, and two review meeting was organized. Lastly, dedication has been also made to share the work of organizing a carbon footprint review technique and experience sharing conference. (4)Improving the Carbon Labelling system. What have been achieved include making suggestions of quality enhancement for the system, setting up Regulations of Encouragement for Low-Carbon Footprint Products, establishing combination process of PCRs, and developing simple and convenient ways to calculate carbon footprint from the GHG emissions. (5)Enhancing effectiveness of the Carbon Labelling project. Achievements include maintaining the Taiwan Product Carbon Footprint Website with the installation of a user-friendly operation system. Besides, Fan Page was built up in Facebook. Furthermore, five sessions of exhibition stations to promote the project have been arranged.
