Abstract

Facing the double pressure of soaring price of international crude oil and the execution of Kyoto Protocol, the Taiwanese government is now aggressively seeking new direction on energy policy in terms of raising energy efficiency and searching for alternative energy sources. The main concerns are how to increase the utilization proportion of biomass energy and how to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Even though without economic incentives for bio-diesel fuel and RDF-5, these two energy sources are still beneficial to lower greenhouse gas emissions and should be encouraged for further development as alternative energy resources. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the greenhouse reduction effect of the two alternative energies based on IPCC model. Our research also focuses on understanding the potential production situation of bio-diesel and RDF-5 in Taiwan based on data collection and analysis. Accordingly, pertinent suggestions to Taiwan's energy policy are proposed. Biomass Energy Development and Greenhouse Gas Reduction: An Application of IPCC Model
