Cooperating with Environmental Protection Administration Executive Yuan, R.O.C. (EPA) implementing “Plan of Total Quantity Control of Air Pollution in Kaohsiung and Ping-Tung”, “Criteria of the Emission Quantities Recognition of Stationary Pollution Sources”, “Regulations of the Emissions Reduction Recognition for Reserve Exchange ＆ Transactions” and other laws and regulations, this project assisted the Environmental Protection Bureau Kaohsiung City Government (EPB) in promoting and implementing total quantity control in Kaohsiung and Ping-Tung, for enhance of air quality. Furthermore, this project reviewed and analyzed the implementation method of the total quantity control as a reference of enhancing the air quality in Kaohsiung city.
The main tasks of this project was to handle the application, review, issuance, and management the documents of the plan of total quantity control, and on-site inspections should be executed before issued. In addition, depending on the implementation situation of the total quantity control, it was also necessary to executed the reviews and issuance of the emission reduction recognition, which were exchanged, traded and extended by firms. The information on the webpage of the project were maintained and updated continuously for authorities and firms. The summary of the implementation results of this project is as follows:
As of December 2022, a total of 468 existing stationary pollution sources have been placed under supervision, 28 firms that have not yet obtained the operating permit will be included in the next phase of the plan. In phase 1, the approved emission included 13,714.9 tons of PM, 48,794.6 tons of SOX, 57,996.9 tons of NOX, and 21,851.5 tons of VOCs; and the designated reductions included 653.8 tons of PM, 2,147.9 tons of SOX, 2,888.2 tons of NOX, and 1,083.4 tons of VOCs. Besides, 99 firms were approved the emission reduction recognition (133 firms submitted applications in total), including 769.1 tons of PM, 5,552 tons of SOX, 7,793.1 tons of NOX, and 2,718.9 tons of VOCs, and 73 cases of transfer and 30 cases of exchange were accomplished.
The actual emission reductions of phase 1 are as below: 1,586.7 tons of PM, 4,998.2 tons of SOX, 1,676.7 tons of NOX, and 2,264.7 tons of VOCs. 17 review cases of exchange reaching the certain scale and 57 review cases of the operating permit under the scale were accomplished. In addition, in response to the expiration of the emission reduction recognition in 2024, and the rule of trading 10% emission reduction recognition with different corporation before extended, this project surveyed firms about the will to trade with EPB instead. A total of 1,432 tons of emission reduction recognition had been inventoried, including 70 tons of PM, 486 tons of SOX, 744 tons of NOX, and 133 tons of VOCs, being worth NT$20.32 million.
Analyzing the important doubts and countermeasures in the past and the current stage, this project gave suggestions about the next phase of total quantity control plan, related to the list of objects, the regulation of emissions re-approval, the target of specified reduction, operational adjustments of emission control, emission reduction recognition, exchange, and development project emission reduction recognition involved with environmental impact assessment. In addition, this project suggested that EPA should announce the implementation of the next phase of total quantity control plan as soon as possible, and clearly define the objectives and reduction responsibilities. The current policy should be consistent and coherent, not only to accelerate the implementation of the spirit of total quantity control and phased reduction ,but also to increase the willingness of firms to reduce the emission voluntarily.
