The project for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Management, Reduction and Registration (the Project), while meeting the criteria required by the project guideline, is an ongoing work based on current development of domestic GHG accounting, registration, validation, verification and project reductions for industries as the results of earlier studies from 2004 to 2009. The outcome of the Project includes the following:
- better designed registration forms at facility-level;
- extended scope of demonstrations in GHG management to residential, commercial and transportation sectors;
- development of management mechanisms for GHG early action promotion program and the regulatory provisions;
- formalized emission intensity calculation methods and designated emission intensities for iron and steel, cement, electricity generation and semi-conductor sectors;
- development of tracking mechanism for emission reduction credits and Directions for the management of GHG Crediting Registry;
- streamlined registration process across competent authorities.
The Project has completed the following tasks:
1. Promoting GHG registry
The Project has assisted the Environmental Protection Administration (the EPA) in the announcement of Directions for GHG Inventory and Registration Management. The associated registration forms have also been completed at facility level, promoting an overall 340 entities in voluntary submissions of their GHG emission data with more than 80% emission coverage over energy and industrial sectors. One GHG accounting demonstration is completed in railway transportation sector (Taiwan Railways) as well as the subsequent technical guide for GHG emission calculations. Further more, the Project has completed GHG accounting guidelines for cities (draft).
2. Capacity building of GHG emissions reductions
The Project has assisted the EPA in the announcement of Directions for Promoting GHG Early Action Project and Offset Project, and the associated provisions including project application, review, clarification processes and administrative management. The tracking and management of GHG reduction credits have also been established for the EPA, ensuring the integrity of GHG reduction projects and crediting system.
3. Extending studies on emissions intensities toward other industrial sectors
Based on previous years study results, the Project has conducted international policy studies on emission intensities involving electricity generation, iron and steel, cement, refinery, petrochemical, paper and pulp sectors as well as established in total 19 domestic GHG emission intensities for iron and steel, cement and electricity generation sectors. Further efforts have been conducted on data collections, boundary setting and calculation approaches in paper and pulp, petrochemical and refinery sectors.
4. Enhancing National GHG emissions registry (the Registry)
The Project has completed relevant sub-systems and functions for GHG reporting, reduction project submissions and credit tracking, as well as integrating Industrial Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction Information and Non-CO2 Information websites.
5. International studies on global GHG management
The Project has conducted researches on GHG monitoring and reporting approaches in United States, Japan and EU covering energy, industrial, residential and commercial and transportation (including aviation, maritime and land) sectors. Studies of the Project have also included project-based reductions efforts, the development of GHG reduction technologies and credit and account management of registries.
6. Conferences and public meetings
The Project has completed two public meetings on GHG accounting and registry, one technical symposium combined with press release on the establishment of CCS Alliance, four technical hearing on GHG reduction policy, one international symposium on emissions intensities, ten expert workshops and thirteen relevant meetings under the request of the EPA. Four seasons of electronic newsletters have also been released with on going maintenance of the information website.
