| dc.description.abstract | The consumption of finite fossil fuels as the world’s dominant energy is damaging the environment. Using alternative energy is inescapable. Bioethanol has its prospect among a variety of renewable energy. This research aims to study the course and the policy of those countries having developed bioethanol, and also the state of play and similar issues in Taiwan. By reviewing the literatures, a 3-hierarchy framework has been generated, with the 1st hierarchy, “developing bioethanol in Taiwan” as the objective, the 2nd with six dimensions, and 24 factors in the 3rd.
The key factors and the corresponding policy instruments are as the following. “Incentives provided to bioethanol industry”, policy instruments are: subsidy for energy crops plantation, tax reduction, giveback for consuming water and electricity, and legislation of ethanol gasoline standard. For “Incentives provided for consuming ethanol gasoline”, incentives such as price distinction, related tax reduction should be given. As for “Incentives for energy crops plantation with fallow”, “Enterprise conduct of energy crops”, and “Production scale of ethanol plant”, scale suitable to the characteristics of Taiwan’s fields along with ethanol production mode should be considered. “Transportation cost of raw materials” can be cost down by setting up regional technic centers to offer pre-process technics, make the raw materials much easier to transport and process. And the standard of raw materials production can ease “Impact of energy crops against ecological environment”. Finally, for “Measures suited to clean development mechanism”, the industry department should cooperate with the argriculture department to further decrease the CO2 emissions. | en_US |
