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

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.
