This project has completed the “2007 LPG Price Subsidy and Inspection Program” from January 2007 to December 2007. The project has finished the review, inspection, and appropriation of LPG price subsidy application submitted by LPG stations in 12 months. There were 2,420,000 application cases in 2007, and the total LPG gas subsidy amount was 82,559,186.56 liters and NT$ 165,118,373. This project also completed 93 on-site inspections for 20 LPG stations in Taiwan. In order to provide our service in a more efficient and reliable way, this project established standard operation procedures (S.O.P) for project enforcement in performing review and inspection of LPG subsidy application. In addition, this project has required LPG stations to increase their storage capacities of the CCTV monitoring system in order to reach the goal to enhance self-management systems of LPG stations.
In the tasks of collection, review and analysis of international LPG related information, this project collects and summarizes the newest LPG policies and statuses of Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong, India, United Kingdom, and Australia. In domestic situation, up to December 2007, there are about 14 thousand LPG vehicles and 20 LPG stations in Taiwan. There are 4 LPG re-equipping companies in Taiwan, and in terms of the capacity of re-equipping gasoline vehicles into vehicles with LPG and gasoline duel fuel systems, those 4 LPG re-equipping companies are able to re-equip around 800-900 vehicles per month.
In the tasks of cost benefit analysis and air pollution reduction evaluation of LPG vehicles, we assume that when using LPG fuel, the fuel efficiency of a taxi is 8.85 kilo-meters per liter. Comparing with using gasoline, the LPG taxi may save fuel costs NT 6,548 per month. With the current promotion program provided by those 4 re-equipping companies, each liter LPG gets NT 1.5 additional discount, and the LPG taxi may save NT 7,252 per month. For LPG stations, in order to break even, each station should have 250 vehicle visits per day. With government subsidy NT$ 7,000,000 for each station, then the break even point reduces to 225 vehicle visits per day; when government subsidy increases to NT$ 8,400,000, the break even point reduces to 222 vehicle visits. In the effects of air pollution reduction, comparing with gasoline, LPG fuel reduces CO -0.35g/km, HC -0.0028g/km, NOx 0.15 g/km, CO2 -31.4g/km.
In the tasks of education and coordination, this project organized one coordination meeting and two promotion conferences for local EPB officials and related parties. This project also organized three coordination meetings for LPG stations and three dialogue conferences for governments, academia, and industry.
