1. Greenhouse gas inventory
The CTSP Bureau counts the greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 for the top 15 manufacturers accounting for the total turnover of the whole park, as shown in the following table (the greenhouse gas emissions in 2023 will be collected after being counted by the greenhouse gas emissions information platform of the Climate Change Department of the Ministry of Environment in August 2024). Among the above-mentioned 15 manufacturers, there are only five manufacturers in the first batch who should be checked and registered for greenhouse gas emissions (operation control, the base year is mainly based on the inventory of each factory), which is required to be completed the entire factory previous greenhouse gas emissions at the end of August each year.. For those inventory and registration of greenhouse gas emissions that are not required, there are 2 companies checked and registered by entrusting third- party inspections while the remaining 8 are checked independently.
In addition, this Bureau requires manufacturers stationed in Houli Park to conduct regular greenhouse gas inventory and reporting operations based on the EIA document of the Houli Park, and implement the greenhouse gas inventory and statistics of Houli Park in August each year. (data statistics for 2023 have not been completed before the issuance of this report). Among the manufacturers in Houli Park, there are only 2 of the first batch of manufacturers that should check their registered greenhouse gas emissions (operational control rights; the base year is based on the inventory check of each factory), while the rest perform self-inspection.
The above-mentioned CTSP Houli Park greenhouse gas inventory inspections are conducted in accordance with ISO 14064-1 and the greenhouse gas inspection guidelines. The carbon dioxide emission coefficient is calculated in accordance with the statistical method of the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Guidelines (referred to as IPCC 2006 Guidelines) formulated by the IPCC, and the GWP value according to the regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency. The warming potential of the fourth assessment report of the IPCC in 2006 should be adopted after 2016.
2. Promote net zero carbon emissions
On 23 March 2022, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the three Parks’ Bureaus held the '6th Meeting of the Park Business Report', which aims to formulate specific carbon reduction promotion methods, and to cooperate with the formulation of relevant indicators and incentives and other implementation measures, and to guide park manufacturers to work together to promote carbon reduction in order to achieve the carbon reduction target of the science park in 2025.
In 2022 and 2023, the Bureau held two discussion meetings to promote greenhouse gas emission reduction in the park, to strengthen the independent carbon reduction capacity of park manufacturers, and held the 'Award for Excellence in Carbon Reduction in Science Park' to encourage park manufacturers to actively promote energy conservation and arbon reduction through competition, so as to promote all parks to work together to implement carbon emissions and achieve their goals.
In response to frequent updates or amendments to various environmental protection related laws and regulations, this Bureau will hold various legal promotion briefings from time to time every year to strengthen business attention and comply with various environmental protection laws and regulations. From 2022 to 2023, a total of 10 regulatory publicity briefing meetings, 2 chemical inspection publicity briefing meeting, 1 environmental protection seminar, 1 environmental protection related topic briefing meetings were held, and 31 on-site counseling meetings of experts and scholars in the park manufacturers were handled.
In addition, the Bureau also provides consulting services on environmental protection business for park manufacturers. Through face-to-face communication with the industry or case-by-case counseling, we can understand the difficulties of the industry in the process of operation or in the writing of environmental protection documents, and then assist in finding solutions. From 2022 to 2023, we offered consulting services in a total of 2,539 cases. (Excluding summary regulatory consultation and case status inquiry)
