‘2020 GHG Control Implementation and Low-carbon Sustainable Home Operation System Reinforcement Project in Tainan City’ continues plans of Environmental Protection Agency (Low-carbon Sustainable home Policy) and Tainan City (Low-carbon City Construction Plan). Purposes of this project include promoting GHG restriction and reduction in city, adapting to climate change, operating low-carbon sustainable home system and demonstrating ideas of low-carbon sustainable life with various media. With above measures, Tainan City hopes to become an important low-carbon sustainable city in global.
In GHG disclosure and reduction, results of GHG inventory reveal that the estimated GHG emission of Tainan City in 2019 is 21.04 million metric tons of CO2e, which reduces 1.7% comparing to estimated GHG emission (2.14 million metric tons of CO2e) in 2018, and the estimated GHG emission of the first batch of industries which should report in 2019 is 9.70 million metric tons of CO2e, which reduces 1.53% comparing to 2018. In addition, to reduce GHG emission of buildings, this project offered energy-saving and carbon reduction advice at 40 locations, and 20 places among them implemented measures according to ‘Buildings Cooling Reconstruction Subsidy Plan’ which could save 215,224 kwh in energy usage and GHG emission amount to 149 kilograms of CO2e annually. Besides, in coordination with Environmental Protection Agency, this project assisted 2 offset programs, which could reduce 12,632 metric tons of CO2e GHG emission during 10 years, and 4 carbon label products, which were verified by external third party.
In climate change adaption, this project held a professional training course on climate change adaption for civil servants to strengthen power of climate change adaption plan for government. On the other hands, to reinforce the ability of climate change adaption in communities, this project also provided subsidy for 7 communities to promote ‘Community-based Adaptation to Climate Change.’ Besides, 35 environmental monitoring stations were installed in low-temperature area along sea, middle area and high-temperature inland area in Tainan to promote city heat island cooling research. The research shows that low-temperature area should avoid barriers caused by the centralization of buildings and development, middle area should introduce more policies on green and shade, and high-temperature area should slow down the development and provide more green facilities.
Furthermore, in coordination with low-carbon sustainable certification form Environmental Protection Agency, this year (2020) the project obtained several results as below: 4 administrative villages acquiring Bronze certification, 11 villages registered successfully, 3 villages passing tracing check and 16 villages extending certification successfully. Moreover, this year also formulated ‘Low-carbon Reconstruction Demonstration Area Subsidy Plan in Tainan City 2020,’ including 37 actions which will save 929.28 kwh in energy usage, 370.726 kwh in water usage, 413.19 metric kilograms of CO2e GHG reduction and 15 metric tons of CO2e carbon fixation annually.
In international activities, apart from bilingual advertising posters, Tainan City joined Carbon Disclosure Project this year and made the A List. Besides, the city also participated in ‘ICLEI World Congress 2020’ and ‘Tainan-ECCT-NCKU 2020 Low Carbon City Conference.’ In a nutshell, this project held 25 events for advertising and promoting with 1,591 participants totally.
