We will examine air quality protection services from three angles by inviting Bureau Director General Cheng-chung Hong to talk about the topics of the Bureau’s administrative focus how the total quantity control program will improve air quality and how the Air Pollution Control Fund is being utilized. We want to give readers a clearer understanding of the current state of Taiwan’s air pollution control policy, budget allocation and utilization and the EPA’s most urgent administrative priorities. In the future, this publication will also invite the Bureau of Waste Management, Bureau of Water Quality Protection and other environmental protection authorities to discuss their administrative affairs, providing an all-round overview of environmental protection services and policies in Taiwan. Director General Cheng-chung Hong Talks About the Future of Air Quality Protection Policies When asked to talk about the foremost administrative issue facing the Bureau of Air Quality Protection and Noise Control, Director General Cheng-chung Hong (洪正中) didn’t hesitate before saying, “total quantity controls” (see following article). Past air pollution control efforts emphasized regional pollution control, said Director General Hong, and attempted to control pollution throughout specific industries or from individual sources. Under this system, the threat of fines forced firms to comply with compulsory regulations, achieving the improvement of air quality. Nevertheless, this approach delivered only limited results: The lack of economic incentives gave firms little interest in voluntary compliance. In a step forward, the revision of the Air Pollution Control Act in 1999 has put in place a total quantity control (TQC) system possessing economic incentives and in the future a tradable emission credits system will be used to reduce pollution emissions. Under this system, of which Director General Hong has high hopes, firms will be permitted to buy or sell their pollution emission credits, giving them a direct incentive to reduce their emissions and improve air quality. The Bureau of Air Quality Protection and Noise Control is in the midst of planning near-term administrative targets and steps for the transition to a trading system. This system, although it does not target CO2, is similar to the one established for controlling CO2 emissions under the Kyoto Protocol. The Bureau will submit its Total Quantity Control Framework Plan (總量管制計畫綱要架構—see following article) to the Executive Yuan for approval in the near future, said Director General Hong, and it is expected to be passed swiftly. After discussing the new TQC plan, Director General Hong stressed EPA Administrator Hau’s great concern for the improvement of air quality in urban areas and mentioned several measures that the Bureau of Air Quality Protection and Noise Control is now implementing. The most important of these is the promotion and subsidization of vehicles using clean energy. Specific measures include: 1. Six-Year Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Bus Program: The EPA is preparing to submit this plan to the Executive Yuan for approval. Such countries as the Republic of Korea and the Philippines are striving to improve their urban air quality, said Director General Hong, and Taiwan cannot be allowed to lag in cleaning up pollution. In fact Administrator Hau has consistently made the promotion of CNG busses one of the EPA’s administrative priorities since assuming his post. The CNG Bus Program will raise the EPA’s funding assistance for CNG busses to NT$2 million from this year’s NT$1 million. While there are currently only six CNG busses in Taipei, the Taipei government’s budget for this year allocates funds for the purchase of 25 more. The EPA’s increased funding assistance will go to the two urban areas of Taipei and Kaohsiung next year. 2. Promotion of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Vehicles: Funding is mainly given to businesses with high vehicle mileage, such as taxis operators and auto rental and leasing firms, in the hope that they will convert to LPG-powered vehicles. While this measure has already been implemented for several years, the high cost of conversion and scarcity of LPG filling stations have led to disappointing results. The EPA, however, plans to roll out more incentives to make LPG vehicles more attractive, including: (a) Increasing fuel subsidies: The EPA approved an LPG fuel subsidy of NT$3 per liter on October 1, up from the current NT$2. Compared with the current gasoline price of NT$20 per liter and LPG price of NT$11 per liter, each liter of subsidized LPG will cost only NT$8, or a very attractive NT$12 less than each liter of gasoline. (b) Adding more LPG filling stations: The fact that there are currently only ten legal LPG filling stations has hindered the promotion of LPG-powered vehicles. But when the 20 more fillings stations scheduled to be completed next year are finished, the new total of 30 stations will make fueling much more convenient. (c) Making the price of LPG-powered vehicles more reasonable: In the past, vehicles had to be retrofitted with expensive imported equipment and materials before they could run on LPG, and the owners had to spend considerable money and effort to make the conversion. Nowadays domestic auto companies, in particular the automotive division of Formosa Plastics, are preparing to manufacture and sell their own LPG-powered vehicles. This is likely to bring down further the prices of these vehicles. These economic incentives will make low CO2 emission LPG-powered vehicles even more appealing and competitive. Other policies being actively pursued by the EPA include the control of dioxin emissions, which focuses on waste incinerators, steel and iron works and aluminum and copper enterprises, and the establishment of emission quantity controls and emissions standards for temples and crematoriums. A Focused Air Pollution Control Program—the TQC Framework Plan The EPA formally announced in July that it would use the Kaohsiung-Pingtung Air Quality District as a demonstration area for its total quantity control (TQC) program (see EPM Vol. IV, Issue 8). The demonstration program conducted in this area will actually be only part of the prototype Total Quantity Control Framework Plan proposed by the EPA. According to the framework plan proposed at the second Committee meeting on September 12, the content of the plan and its basic framework will be in line with the spirit of Articles 8 through 12 of the Air Pollution Control Act and will parallel relevant air quality improvement programs in advanced countries. The implementation period will be divided into three phases, as shown below: Phase 1 12/2001~12/2002 Phase 2 1/2003~12/2005 Phase 3 1/2006~12/2011 Start period (preparatory period) Preliminary implementation (demonstration period) Formal implementation (execution period) Implementation of existing laws and formulation of a TQC legal system. These are short-term objectives. Implementation of TQC in stages in different regions. The Kaohsiung-Pingtung Air Quality District will receive first priority. BACT, recognition of emissions reductions, from-plant offsets and pollutant emission credits trading will be implemented at major pollution sources (50 enterprises). These are mid-term objectives. The scope of emission credits trading in the Kaohsiung-Pingtung area will be expanded, along with the range of allowed participants. TQC will be implemented in other air quality management districts. The EPA’s implementation strategy is to advance simultaneously on three fronts: (1) Establishment of a legal foundation for TQC: Laws and regulations governing new pollution sources, existing pollution sources and the trading system are being drafted. (2) Pollution reduction strategy: The government will first implement pollution reduction measures for such pollutants as particulate matter, sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic substances, and businesses will then be requested to voluntarily take reduction steps. (3) Economic incentives strategy: Measures will include awards, fee reductions, subsidies, tax reductions, differential fee rates, offsets and authorization of trading. While the EPA has proposed a clear-cut implementation schedule and strategies, of course the EPA can’t do everything. The framework plan therefore specifies in detail the duties of the various responsible authorities, and funding is to come mainly from air pollution control fees. A Year-by-Year Overview of the Air Pollution Control Fund Budget Article 1 of the Regulations Governing the Collection, Safekeeping and Use of the Air Pollution Control Fund (空氣污染防制基金收支保管及運用辦法), which was enacted on July 5, 1995, states, “The Air Pollution Control Fund has been established expressly to control air pollution, protect citizens’ health and living environment and improve the quality of life.” The Fund, over which the EPA is the competent authority, is used exclusively for air pollution control purposes. The main tasks and projects listed in the Air Pollution Fund budget include the promotion of air pollution control strategies, stationary pollution source control, mobile pollution source control, air quality monitoring and database maintenance, implementation of urban greening and establishment of air quality purification zones, research and planning, and air quality improvement programs. Beginning in 1999, the central government has directly set aside 60% of air pollution fees collected from stationary pollution sources for the use of the city or county governments in whose areas of jurisdiction stationary pollution sources are located. There has therefore been a relative drop in funding for air pollution control programs at the local level since 1999. Looking at the structure of the Fund budget, control of mobile pollution sources has remained a budget priority since 1997; while the amount budgeted for this item has changed, it has consistently increased in importance, and reached a new high of 48.11% in the 2002 budget. Funding for research and development and training dropped sharply by roughly NT$100 million in the 2001 budget. Other budget items changed by a relatively small amount. While, in the beginning, the Fund dedicated a large percentage of its budget to the air pollution control programs and urban greening work of local governments, this percentage has gradually tapered off over the last few years. Although the 2002 budget is still awaiting Legislative Yuan review, it is expected to be 7.97% larger than the 2001 budget (not including fixed asset items).
