The Green House Gas management planning and the CDM establishment for the transportation departments

Absrtact
Refer to the national inventory report formulated by UNFCCC and IPCC guideline and, subject to the control over mobile source domestically, discuss the transportation department's classification mode and establish the transportation department’s inventory framework. Summarize and collect the information about emission coefficient and strength estimated by the inventory report and complete the updated estimation of emission of greenhouse gas in 2006, i.e. 38,079,499 CO2e tons/year. Establish the transportation department’s inventory framework based on the “Greenhouse Gas Emission Limits Rule (Draft)”, GHG Protocol-the criteria and guidelines referred to 2nd edition of corporate accounting and reporting standard, and the guidance for the computation means of mobile source provided by GHG Protocol Initiative. Planning for our country’s reduction strategy and framework including 5 main objectives in terms of energy efficiency, transportation management, low carbon energy, economic incentive, and public information. The five objectives and control measures are further categorized into supply side strategy and demand side strategy with emphasis on demand side strategy as priority. Studies were done regarding international emission trade system, also collected CDM methodology and successful example for studies as well as the Swiss research report regarding carbon trade for vehicles. Since carbon trade for vehicles has not been developed in the world, it is suggested to consider the demand side strategy by implementing Energy Tax to achieve CO2 reduction. Preliminarily, it is suggested to implement an intensive promotional program in the short-term followed by continued reminding for eco-drive behavior in the mid and long-term to maintain the program effectiveness. The project studied the mechanism for financial support incentive program however does not suggest governmental funding for individual purchasing of low emission vehicles rather than funding for the use of public transportation. Collection of vehicle CO2 emission reduction technology, showing that improving air conditioning efficiency, reducing friction loss from tires and mechanical parts, as well as driving behavior change, can reduce emission at minimum cost. According to the analysis on CO2 test result of examination and random checks of new vehicles made in Taiwan in 2007, the total CO2 emission volume of new vehicles in usedtimes is preliminarily estimated as 7,546,904 tons. Planning a domestic strategy to decrease CO2 emission is developed and summarized as follow: Short term (2008-2015): focusing on clean vehicle technology development and reducing capital cost. Due to limited production of biomass, it is recommend to promote hybrid car by (1) building 150 LPG stations within next 5 years; (2) promoting LPG automobiles. Intermediate Stage (2015~2030): the available supply of LPG is not able to fulfill current demand in transportation sector, therefore, it is recommended to encourage people to purchase electrical car. In addition, performance standards, carbon tax, and traffic tax will be used as tools to control CO2 emission. Hold 8 rounds of expert consultation meeting and one symposium; the comments provided by advisors and from the various circles will serve to be the basis for amendments to the Project.
