This project contains a total of 5 work tasks, and the outcome of each task is summarized as follows.
Work task 1: Research on International Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Reduction Market Systems and Propose Enhancements for Taiwan's Voluntary Reduction Market System.
1. Compile information on the development status of voluntary reduction systems in Switzerland, California, Australia, Japan, Verra, and GS, as well as reports related to carbon credit quality assessments published by the U.S., Carbon Market Watch, rating agencies like BeZero and Calyx, consultancy Abatable, and Ecosystem Marketplace.
2. Gather and organize information on carbon credit (reduction credit) trading implementation in four countries: China, Japan, Singapore, and Indonesia.
3. Collect and analyze data on developments in anti-greenwashing policies, such as the EU’s "Green Claims Directive" and "Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition Directive," California's "Voluntary Carbon Market Disclosures," and South Korea's "Environmental Technology and Industry Support Act."
4. Summarize updates on the Paris Agreement Article 6 mechanisms, Singapore’s international carbon credit qualification standards, and the recognition requirements of the CORSIA mechanism.
Work task 2: Support for Taiwan’s Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Reduction Market System Implementation and Project Review.
1. Complete mechanism reviews and comparisons of key points for voluntary reduction project verification under the "Guidelines for Subsidies for Replacement of Energy-saving Equipment in the Commercial Service Sector" and the "Guidelines for Demonstration and Promotion of Energy Performance Guarantee Projects."
2. Provide 88 project review reports, assisting in the review of 47 unique cases after excluding re-evaluations due to project corrections. Assist in organizing 31 meetings, including 26 project team review sessions and 5 deliberation meetings, with a total of 754 participants.
Work task 3: Assist in Drafting Legislation for Greenhouse Gas Reduction Credit Trading, Auctions, and Transfers, and Related Procedural Support.
1. Assist in drafting management measures and relevant legal frameworks for greenhouse gas reduction credit trading, auctions, and transfers. Develop templates for enterprises and compile disclosure information from Japan's J-credit voluntary reduction system and carbon credit trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
2. Assist in reviewing 19 credit account openings and 11 credit cancellations for utilization purposes.
3. The total reduction credits issued amount to 95.7 million tons CO2e, with 14.8 million tons CO2e canceled. Of the canceled credits, 24,932 tons CO2e were used for carbon neutrality, and 14.8 million tons CO2e were used for environmental impact assessment offsets.
4. Complete the development of guidelines for corporate carbon neutrality declarations.
Work task 4: Assist in Developing and Reviewing Enhanced Greenhouse Gas Offset Systems for Incremental Development Activities.
1. Compile statistics on environmental impact assessment (EIA) cases approved with commitments for incremental offsets, totaling 28 cases with an offset demand of approximately 1.444 million tons/year. Additionally, 24 EIA cases applying the incremental offset mechanism are under review.
2. Assist in drafting the "Operational Guidelines for Issuance and Account Management of Greenhouse Gas Reduction Benefits."
3. Submit 8 greenhouse gas incremental offset project review reports as designated by the Climate Change Agency.
4. Submit 81 greenhouse gas incremental evaluation and reduction offset planning review reports for development projects as designated by the Climate Change Agency.
5. Update the FAQ for incremental offsets and revise related questions in the "Operational Guidelines for Issuance and Account Management of Greenhouse Gas Reduction Benefits."
Work task 3: Maintenance and Updates of Taiwan’s Greenhouse Gas Voluntary Reduction and Offset Information Platform.
1. Adjust and maintain system modules, including offset projects, voluntary reduction projects, incremental offsets, and backend management, in line with regulatory adjustments and Climate Change Agency requirements.
2.Assist in transferring functional modules and data to the credit management platform.
