| dc.description.abstract | “Global warming” is one of the most vigorous tests that the Earth is facing, as well as a challenge to environment, ecology, economy, society and health that has never been seen in human history. Feb 16 2005, the day the Kyoto Protocol was officially in effect, marks the arrival of the era of CO2 emission control and trading. Taiwan is nut a member of this protocol, but still at the 23rd place around the world for GHG emission . The data of International Energy Agency (IEA) indicate that Taiwan will be inevitably facing the pressure from other countries around the world if proper action is not taken. To help the home appliance industrial chain avoid the potential limits of international GHG specifications, inventory checks were performed based on ISO 14064. The GHG emission source and intensity in every scope of the home appliance company A in 2010 were investigated, and a strategy for GHG reduction was devised for home appliance industries. 2010 was selected as the base year for the inventory checks of GHG emission. The results showed that the GHG emission was 5900.40 ton-CO2e. Based on the definition of ISO 14064, Scope1, the direct emission of GHG, was 1160.57 tons-CO2e, accounting for 19.67% of total emission; Scope 2, indirect emission from energy consumption, was 4739.84 tons-CO2e, accounting for 80.33% of total emission; and Scope 3, other indirect emission from energy consumption, was difficult to determine as the sources of other indirect emission were outsourced activities. As a result, the qualitative inventory check was selected for this study. For the 6 GHGs defined in the Kyoto Protocol, the inventory results indicated that CO2 emission was 5662.82 tons-CO2e, making up 95.97% of total emission, CH4 was 4.75 tons-CO2e, making up 0.08% of total emission, and N2O was 1.72 tons-CO2e, making up 0.03%. The emission of HFCs accumulated to 231.32 tons-CO2e, accounting for 3.92% of total emission. PFCs and SF6 were negligible as there was no emission of these 2 GHGs.
