Summary This is a 3-year-phase project, which focuses on “Reviewing the impact of transportation policy on Green House Gas (GHG) emissions (2007)”, “Establishing the GHG accounting, registration, audit standards and fleet mechanism (2008)”, and “Establishing the index of transportation energy efficiency and growth prediction model of transportation (2009)” for separate fiscal years. This research is the third phase project.
  The main work items include:


continually updating the national GHG inventory for the transportation sector

establishing the GHG inquiring website for transportation

evaluating the feasibility of an energy-transportation integrated modeling framework

reviewing the performance of the existing reduction action plans and providing the recommendations of reduction policy in the transportation sector

formulating and predicting the energy consumption and the GHG emissions for the transportation sector

developing the transportation energy efficiency indicator

exploring, collecting, and reviewing the state of the art in energy saving and GHG emissions reduction for transportation sector
  Therefore, a more correct and complete database is built up with the methodologies of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), and the baseline of the transportation sector can be re-estimated with the updated database. According to these results, the performance of the reduction action plan of the transportation sector is looked into, and the latent capacity of transportation abatement may be overestimated when considering the future tendency of the economy and industry structure.
  These results could be used for references to set up future reduction targets and strategies of the transportation sector.
