The goals of this project are to accelerate development of carbon reductions and enhance planning of paths towards net zero emissions in line with the international trends, improve the promotion of Taiwan’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategies, follow the measures and contents of EU’s International Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to be applied in 2023, and evaluate the impacts of such CBAM measures on Taiwan’s industries, and propose coping measures. In order to achieve these goals, this project analyzed the contents of CBAM draft, collected data such as the average emission intensities of products covered by the EU ETS scheme, estimated the financial impacts on Taiwan’s steel products due to EU’s CBAM measures based on similar domestic and foreign products’ carbon emission intensities, and proposed measures and recommendations for Taiwan’s steel industries in coping with these CBAM measures.
These measures and recommendations included giving priority to the promotion of the steel industry’s emission performance standard (EPS), and performance benchmark and supporting measures, in line with the revision schedule of Taiwan’s Greenhouse Gas Management Law and greenhouse gas reduction policies and goals, developing principles for formulating short, medium and long-term energy efficiency standards, and developing the draft steel industry performance standards and performance benchmarks for Taiwan. In addition, using the subsidy and incentive mechanisms implemented by Germany and California in the United States as reference, this project developed the associated measures and mechanism for collecting different carbon fees in combination with energy efficiency standard and performance benchmarks.
This project also compiled and analyzed information associated with greenhouse gas reductions and their promotion and management projects, in particular literature related to UK’s 2050 net-zero pathways and the sectoral reduction strategies for net-zero emissions, as well as relevant measures related to emission reductions of greenhouse gases with high greenhouse warming potential (GWP) from specific industries. Based on these analyses, recommendations and strategies were proposed for use by the Taiwan EPA in developing relevant policies and measures.
In addition, considering the international trend of coal consumption reduction and national energy transition goals, this project collected the current status, laws and regulations, and relevant supporting measures, as well as advantages and disadvantages of co-firing biomass in coal-fired domestic and foreign thermal power plants. The collection information and relevant analyses were used, in combination with the CDM methodologies concluding ACM0018, AM0036 and ACM0020, to evaluate the carbon reduction benefits of co-firing biomass fuels and coal for power generation.
