This project included four parts: “Establishing regulations for stationary pollution sources in non-attainment area and conducting industrial emission reduction counseling”, “Reviewing the regulations of the emission management to build the localized emission coefficient”, ”Reviewing the Kao-Ping area total quantity control plan and related regulations with the amendment of air pollution law”, and “Reviewing and expanding existing system functions related to total quantity control”. Main results are listed as follow:
1. Establishing regulations for stationary pollution sources in non-attainment area and conducting industrial emission reduction counseling.
The available control technologies for stationary pollution sources in 3 different countries, including USA, EU and China, were reviewed. Besides, air quality variation trend in past 4 years were analyzed, and the emission sources in non-attainment area were also investigated. The results shows that the ozone air quality is getting deteriorate, and it’s important to establish control measures for VOCs and NOx. Thus, the draft of “stationary pollution sources emission reduction in non-attainment area” was created. It’s expected to impact 97 factories, and create3,923 thousands emission reduction. In other hands, we conducted VOCs pollution reduction counseling in 10 factories, which belongs to high ozone formation potentials of industrial categories, including marine coating, vehicle coating and metal surface coating. Among them, 3 factories will improve the installation of gas collection equipment and control equipment, 3 factories will reduce VOCs content, 1factory will control spraying quality, 2 factories have already reduced the VOCs content, and 1 company is going to shut down. Total 7 factories could reduce VOCs emission by nearly 432.43 ton. We had already provided the counseling report to each factory, and will follow up the emission reduction results to be as a reference for emission reduction strategy in the future.
2. Reviewing the regulation of the emission management to build the localized emission coefficient
Refer to U.S. emission factor integration experience, we had already made SOP for establishing SCC Code and designed 3 different kinds of forms (including SIC-SCC code form, emission coefficient comparison form for industrial process, and emissions reporting form for pollution sources). Furthermore, we investigated the emission regulation problems, including emission factor and process definition, in order to propose the blueprint of integrated emission management and time schedules.
(1) Short term (1-2 years): we focus on making plans and try to establish coding system.
(2) Mid-term (2-4 years): start to establish the localization of emission coefficients.
(3) Long term (more than 4 years): integrate the emission management system to become a decision support system as a reference for policy making.
3. Revising the Kao-Ping total quantity control plan and related regulations with the amendment of air pollution law
Due to the amendment of air pollution law and promotion of the second phase total quantity control plan, it’s important to review the first phase of the total quantity control plan. Related regulations were revised, including Kao-Ping total quantity control plan, air pollutant emission quantity authorization regulations for existing stationary pollution sources, emission reduction recognition reserve exchange and transactions, and auction of air pollutant emissions. In addition, 6 regulatory announcement meeting and 3 expert advisory meeting were hold and the final report of effectiveness of 7 years air pollution reduction was compiled.
4. Expanding existing system functions related to total quantity control
In accordance with the direction of the second phase of the total quantity control plan, the system functions which related to total quantity control were revised and expanded. The platform of emission reduction management was revised, and the comparison function was added between the permitted emissions and the approved emissions of the entire plant. Besides, the platform of emission reduction of stationary pollution sources in non-attainment area was built. In order to strengthen the public interaction, the interactive message boards were also built.
