Long-term national GHG emission reduction goal shall be to reduce GHG emissions to no more than 50% of 2005 GHG emission by 2050

Reduce CO2---emissions, so that total emission could return to its 2008 level between 2016 ~ 2020, and further reduced to the 2000 level in 2025

Promote public emission reduction movement, encourage the public to reduce 1 kg of CO2---foot-print per day

Increase the share of low carbon energy in electricity generation systems from the current 40% to 55% by 2025 against a 2008 baseline

Increase the utilization of low carbon natural gas, therefore it could account for more than 25% of power generated by 2025 against a 2008 baseline

Reduce the energy use of governmental agencies and schools by 7% by 2015 against a 2008 baseline

Raise appliance efficiency standards by 10% to 70% by 2011 against a 2008 baseline, and further raise the efficiency standards by 2015

Supplemented by further technological breakthroughs and proper administrative measures, energy intensity will decrease 50% by 2025 against a 2008 baseline

Reform the industrial sector towards a high value-added and low energy intensive structure, so that its carbon intensity could reduce more than 30% by 2025 against a 2008 baseline

Improve energy efficiency by more than 2% per annum, so that when compared with the level in 2005, energy intensity will decrease 20% by 2015 against a 2008 baseline

Renewable energy share in the electricity system 8% by 2025

The rewardable gross capacity of renewable energy is 6.5 million kilowatts to 10 million kilowatts of gross installed capacity by 2029. Upon the rewardable gross installed capacity reaching 5 million kilowatts, the central competent authority shall review the target.

Raise the fuel efficiency standard for private vehicles by 25% by 2015 against a 2008 baseline

These measures set out the information that the applicants should upload to a designated portal to apply for a carbon footprint label, and the methods to determine whether the product can qualify for said label.

Taiwan’s Comprehensive Carbon Reduction Action Plan focuses on six major sectors through flagship carbon reduction projects to intensify reduction efforts. The Plan also proposes sectoral self-driven carbon reduction plans, continuously adjusting strategies as needed. The Plan incorporates six mechanisms—technological innovation, financial support, carbon pricing, regulatory adaptation, green collar talent, and community-driven initiatives—to integrate carbon reduction efforts across sectors.
The goal is to achieve four major transition visions: a more diversified energy transition, a more innovative industrial transition, a lower-carbon lifestyle transition, and a more resilient social transition. The Plan also aims to reduce air pollution, enhance energy independence, drive private investment, and cultivate green-collar talent, further accelerating green growth and improving societal well-being.

These Regulations apply to businesses that submit a reduction plan for greenhouse gas emissions, subject to audits by the authorities, in order to receive a preferential rate for carbon fees. The plans could include changing to low-carbon energy sources; improving energy efficiency; utilising renewable resources; and carbon capture, storage and utilisation.

These Regulations set out the goals for each industry sector: steel; cement; petrochemical; textile and pulp and paper, for greenhouse gas emissions in certain production processes and for particular greenhouse gases.
