In Taiwan, the construction of refuse incineration plant project has been promoted since 1991, and there are currently 25 completed and operational incineration plants that can properly dispose of household garbage in all counties and cities in Taiwan and support the treatment of general industrial waste. In order to effectively supervise and manage the operation and maintenance of refuse incineration plants, this project assists the Environmental Management Administration （EMA） conducting inspections and evaluations by completing 33 unscheduled inspections of incineration plants, 13 management agency inspections, 2 funding check of Taitung Plant, 24 annual operating result report reviews, 3 inspection and evaluation group meetings, 1 technical forum, 1 award ceremony and 2 connection platform meetings. Also, this project compiled, reviewed and analyzed incineration plant operating data to assist the EMA in strengthening the management of local governments. In order to supervise the completion of upgrading and maintenance of domestic incineration plants, this plan has grasped the current status of upgrading and maintenance planning and processing of each plant. Currently, a total of 9 plants have completed rectification and 7 plants are undergoing rectification. It also evaluates the benefits of upgrading and maintenance of completed rectification plants, and assists in handling one incineration plant application for special construction review. It also continuously updates the construction unit price database and collects domestic and foreign heat treatment facilities or other waste treatment and maintenance technologies, based on which future domestic incineration is proposed. Substantial recommendations for factory refinement to improve the operational performance of the incineration plant. This project also assists in the development of short-, medium-, and long-term improvement measures for fly ash reduction and reuse plans, reviews fly ash key performance indicators and proposes reduction plans for source reduction technologies, and completes the final disposal and reuse of fly ash. Scenario carbon reduction and cost assessment results show that the carbon emissions and cost investment of fly ash recovery and reuse are better than stabilization treatment. In order to understand the collection of general waste removal and disposal fees and fund management, we provide guidance to counties and cities in filling out annual information and completing verification operations, and to master fund management risks based on trial calculations based on fund management indicators. Collect, compile and analyze the management structure of cleanup fee collection methods, domestic and foreign environmental protection fund regulations and laws and regulations related to the abolition of cleanup funds, analyze the problems encountered in the collection, disbursement and fund utilization of cleanup fees, and propose improvements. Since the “Diversified Waste Management Plan” approved by the Executive Yuan in 2017, all goals of the incineration plant upgrading and retrofitting work have been achieved. The overall performance of incineration plants in the country has been improving year by year under the effective supervision and management of the EMA and the active assistance in carrying out the renewal and life extension work.
