Abstract
This study directs against the problem of the electric structure of Taiwan at present, to make recommendations for improvement and draft the sustainable electric policy.
The study sorts the literatures of country’s electric power issues about supply and demand at first. And consulting the International energy administration (IEA) and the Green peace organization making the energy policy considers several driving forces. Then using the scenario analysis, sets up six kinds of Taiwan’s electric situation. In addition, combining Taiwan’s electric flow analysis (IO analysis) with life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) in LEAP model, which developing from Stockholm Environmental Research Institute, to become a local assessment tool. Finally, importing six kinds of electric situation to LEAP model gets the environment impact of every situation.
It is analyzed that the question of electricity of Taiwan is the disputed power generating structure (nuclear energy) ,and the industry uses power for the export, and the demand grows up continuously. This study regards the power generating structure (expand nuclear energy or cut down the nuclear energy) and improving industry using power efficiency as the driving forces to input LEAP model. Analyze from LEAP model that learns, between 2010 to 2025, cut down to expand the total environmental impact is lower 25%; improve to constant the power consuming is lower 16.3%, greenhouse gas emissions is lower 21%, total environmental impact is lower 11-25%. If combines cut down with improve the 2025 total environmental impact is lower 15% than 2010.
So this study advises Taiwan future electric policy developing direction should towards cut down nuclear energy use and raise efficiency of power consuming.
