Description
Summary:In this paper, a multi-objective programming approach integrated with a Leontief inter-industry model is used to evaluate the impact of energy conservation policy on the cost of reducing CO subscript 2 emissions and undertaking industrial adjustment in Taiwan. An inter-temporal CO subscript 2 reduction model, consisting of two objective equations and 1340 constraint equations, is constructed to simulate alternative scenarios consisting of Case I (no constraint on CO subscript 2 emissions), Case II (per capita CO subscript 2 emissions at Taiwan year 2000 levels, i.e. 9.97 t), Case III (Case II emission levels with energy conservation), and Case IV (Case II emission levels with energy conservation plus improved electricity efficiency). The empirical results show that the cost of reducing CO subscript 2 emissions in Cases II, III, and IV is $404, $376, and $345 per t, respectively.
