The project is a continuation of the management of greenhouse gas emission registration and verification by third party since 2004 to 2016 implemented by the Environmental Protection Administration pursuant to Article 16 of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management Act to consolidate the policy in such administrative management and implementation, including to provide consultation services to emission sources and local governments regarding the greenhouse gas emission registration related regulations; to periodically compile the report on the status of our national greenhouse gas emission registration; to cooperate with the needs for application of qualification and modification by verification organizations, to assist the review of application, and to assist the auditing management of verification organizations in their verification of emission sources to assure the correctness and completeness of registered emission data. The project also cooperated with the implementation of our national greenhouse gas related policy in the study of international information regarding emission registration in cap-and-trade system as well as the methodology adopted by verification organizations and their experiences in the application of the emission registration data to provide suggestion to reference. The project has studied the feasibility of including the revised version of 14064 and ISO 50001 into our system with feedback from previous years of experiences to bring out suggestions to simplify the supervision of verification organizations so as to increase the quality of emission data. According to the results found from the aforementioned study, the project has made suggestions for the management of emission registration and verification to the Environmental Protection Administration for future policy implementation.
