Study on Assessments and Applications of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Results and Technology

Absrtact	The Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) is one of the major modeling tools for the mitigation assessments of the UN Climate Change Convention to combat climate change. This project is based on the model construction of the technology database, and uses strategies, technologies, and policy trends that refer to domestic and international low-carbon targets to evaluate short, medium, and long-term Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS) scenarios. In the short to medium term (to 2030), the project estimates the costs and feasibility of carbon reduction schemes proposed by the six major sectors in Taiwan and develops low carbon strategies based on the estimates of reasonable exogenous variables such as GDP, population, and households. In order to strengthen international climate actions and participate in international cooperation to promote integrated assessments, this project uses the low carbon reduction technology for long-term trends and visions from various international sectors (energy, industry, transportation, buildings, etc.) to develop LEDS scenarios to achieve the goals of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management Act or net-zero emissions for the year of 2050. In addition, through more meaningful global cooperation, the project will explore the challenges and opportunities that may be faced towards a sustainable future regarding Taiwan’s green transition and the research and development of deep carbon reduction technologies. Accordingly, this project continues to follow long-term strategies in the UNFCCC process and develop strategies for corresponding issues. The major tasks and objectives include: 1.Applying the Long-Term Energy Alternative Planning (LEAP) model to evaluate the short- and medium-term carbon emissions reduction targets and results; 2.Studying and analyzing the international long-term low-carbon emission goals and development strategies; participating in international societies to promote integrated model assessment cooperations; 3.Evaluating the situation of Taiwan's low-carbon economic and social development trends to 2050 and examining the possibility of the long-term LEDS vision.
