TAIGEM-D and GTEM-Taiwan, both developed by the Center for Sustainable Development at the National Tsing Hua University, were used to evaluate the economic impacts as well as the emission reduction cost (ERC) of various control strategies of greenhouse gases.

More importantly, Taiwan, when excluded from participating in the international emission trade, will lose substantial cost competitiveness in emission reduction.
