1 Low-Carbon and Sustainable Homeland Program Stephen S.H. Shen Minister Environmental Protection Administration Executive YUAN, R.O.C.(Taiwan) July 17, 2013

2 Agenda 1 Background 2 Low Carbon and Sustainable Homeland Program 3 Expected Performance and Achievement 2

3 Background Global Trends on Low Carbon Inspired by Green New Deal 1. Time: Started from Goal: Low Carbon Society Vision 3. Three Strategies 3 Low-carbon and sustainable homeland Low-carbon industry structure Low-carbon power generation Rapid and convenient transport networks Toward low-carbon city (like energy saving lighting) Actions for carbon reduction, waste recycling & reuse Solar PV and LED optoelectronics industry Wind power generation industry Electric cars industry Develop renewable energy Improve energy efficiency Reduce CO 2 emissions from power generation

4 Background Taiwan GHG Reduction Policies declared and implemented since Landmark actions of reduction policies 1 Sustainable Energy Policy Frameworks Declare our national GHGs reduction goal Public incentive program 2 3 Action Plans of No Regret for Energy Conservation School and government program Third National Energy Convention Increase energy efficiency by 2% / year Low-carbon reform Low-carbon R&D Enhance cross sector energy tech integration Increase clean energy research fund National Energy Technology Program New Energy Development and Promotion Approve Master Plan on National Energy Conservation and GHGs Emission Reduction Action Plan on Intelligent Green Buildings Add hi-tech intelligent equipment to green building Upgrade of green building efficiency 7 Golden 10 Years of Green Energy Program Eco- homeland Culture creation Education Innovation Green Energy Disaster prevention Low-carbon homeland 4

5 Background Vision Low Carbon Demo Communities Low Carbon Demo Cities Low Carbon Living Spheres Greening Eco-Wetland Green Buildings Wind Power Photovoltaic System Carbon Capture and Storage CCHP Low-Carbon Buildings CCHP Green Energy Resource Recycling Wise House Green Bicycles Local Food/Toxic free Transportation Biomass Crops Low Carbon lifestyles Electric Vehicle Charging Station

6 Four Strategies to implement the program Strategy Develop the participating mechanism Complete the Requirements for Promotion Goal Improve Energy Efficiency and Implement Energy Saving Measures Reduce energy Needs and Reduce expenses for fuel import Establish information sharing mechanism Facilitate investment and employment 6 Enhance Education and Information Dissemination Establish North, Central, South and East Low Carbon Living spheres

7 7 Strategy 1 Develop the participating mechanism

8 Driving Force Program Materials Cooperative Governance LCSH Program 10 Action Item Function Categories Over 200 Action Items Certification Projects for Action Items Certification Programs for Sustainable Communities and Cities Cross Categories Cross Ministries Cross Admin. Levels 8

10 Central Gov. Local Gov. Low Carbon and Sustainable Homeland Program 3.1 低碳永續家園研議與推動 Develop 10 Action Item Function Categories. Establish 50 Tech. and Info. Advisory groups, to help identify action items for each Action Item Function Categories, discussing different policies implemented on different administrative level. Green Ecosystems Resource Recycling Energy- Saving Buildings Low- Carbon Lifestyles Energy- Saving Facilities Disaster Prevention, Relief & Adaptation Renewable Resources Legal and Economic/ Financial Tools Tech. and Info. advisory group (10 persons/group, 10 groups as total) Tech. and Info. Advisory Groups (North, Central, South and East, 10 persons/group, 40 groups as total) Program Coordinators (North, Central, South and East, 4 Coordinators) Green Transportation Social/Behavioral Science and Evaluation Tools Team members Task Governments Academia Industries ESCOs Related Experts identify action items Operate & maintain certification procedure Provide tech. advises Cross-Gov. coordination 10 Program Offices (Every City/County has established the program office, 22 offices as total) Analysis and planning of low carbon measures

11 Develop and propose concrete action items Oct Low Carbon and Sustainable Homeland Forum (World Café) Over 200 action items have been proposed by experts from 50 tech. and Info. Advisory Groups Study each action item 1. Single out technique 2. Combination of techniques on different admin. levels and multicategories 3. Apply relevant resources and financial tools 11

12 Action items Analyze the feasibility of each action item based on this procedure Technique Feasibility Study Finance Duplication & Promotion Administration Feasibility Choose again Promote the market 12 no no no Improvement technique analysis yes Carbon reduction analysis yes Market maturity analysis yes no Gov. Funds Demo Unit price, quantity, cost calculation Review financial sources and funding structure Self-Finance Analysis yes Selfoperation Business model Industry cooperation Inducement: Carbon footprint Carbon neutral Carbon right Job Training Enhance economy growth Human sources Law and Economic instruments Improve continuously

13 Certified Projects for Action Items Certification Projects Creation of new certification projects for action items Certifying Development/Promotion/Maintenance projects (The website is constructed to publish the performance and other related information) Execution Projects Development Promotion Implementation put those action items into practice techniques and products experiments before financial management implementation human power resources and certifications laws and regulations expand the project scope implementation and maintenance operation 13

14 Projects Submission and Cetification Procedure 14

15 Projects Submission and Cetification Procedure (cont d) 15

16 Vertical communication Low Carbon and Sustainable Homeland Program Certification Program 1. Key force to promote low-carbon and sustainable homeland, making communities and cities implement the program voluntarily Operation Mechanism Parallel Communication Cities/Counties Top-down Districts Middle Bottom-up Villages Base on Sustainable Jersey 3. Certification levels registration, bronze, silver, gold, platinum and diamond level (Gold, platinum and diamond are planning)

17 Anticipated participants/parties Beginning Cities/ Counties Well-prepared Ministries Districts Cities/ Counties Districts Enterprises/ Private businesses Schools Villages Villages Communities

18 The Procedure for applying the Certification Create Green Team Write Resolution Review Documentation Announce Certification Level Register On-Line Submit the Documentation Maintain Certification Status Select Action Items to Implement Confirm the Certification Level Upgrade Certification Level 18

19 Detailed Procedure for applying the Certification 19

20 Detailed Procedure for applying the Certification (cont d) 20

21 Detailed Procedure for applying the Certification (cont d) 21

22 Requirement for Certification (draft) All levels have to complete the mandatory actions (create a green team and write the resolution) Gold, Platinum and Diamond level are under planning party Nominated Bronze Level Silver Level Community / Village 1.Point required 2.At least 2 priority actions 3.At least 2 out of 10 fields 1.Point required 2.At least 4 priority actions 3.
