Taiwan is actively addressing the global challenge of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and, in 2022, released the "Taiwan 2050 Net-Zero Emissions Pathway and Strategy," which outlines twelve key strategies. To achieve the important goal of "Zero Waste in Resource Circulation," the 8th key strategy, the Ministry of Environment has devised a resource circulation strategy from the perspective of four major materials. This includes the establishment of four material management platforms, which integrate the dispersed resource circulation information across various government agencies into a cohesive platform. This approach assists regulatory authorities in more effectively monitoring and managing the domestic material circulation status.
In 2023, our project team executed the "Metals and Chemicals Circulation Information Platform and Carbon Reduction Benefits Evaluation" project, focusing on the planning and establishment of a platform for metals and chemicals, one of the four major materials. Last year, the team completed the planning of the "Metals and Chemicals Resource Circulation Information System" platform, including four main thematic areas. Additionally, we constructed two resource circulation lifecycle flow diagrams for metals and chemicals and analyzed their flows. Furthermore, we examined three carbon reduction benefit estimation methods to recommend a methodology for assessing the carbon reduction benefits of metals and chemicals.
This year's project continues the achievements of the 2023 "Metals and Chemicals Circulation Information Platform and Carbon Reduction Benefits Evaluation" project, further optimizing the platform's functional architecture. Based on a multi-year plan, we have developed nine major functional themes and 23 detailed functions to enhance resource management efficiency and promote circular development. This includes completing the public section's overall resource flow diagram for metals/chemicals, a regulatory inquiry area, and basic information query services such as account management and data download for the management section. We also implemented functions for filtering and importing information, such as homepage search, related websites, and message announcements. For the non-public section, the project has focused on collecting data on key metals/chemicals in resource circulation and establishing overall to single substance flow directions to facilitate the tracking and management of material usage, disposal, and reuse by regulatory authorities, thereby accelerating the circular use of metal/chemical resources at various stages.
