Application Begins for Self-Determined Reduction Plans Alongside Carbon Fee System

The carbon fee system has been launched officially this year. The Regulations Governing the Collection of Carbon Fees (碳費收費辦法) specify that those subject to carbon fees are required to determine their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2025 by May 2026 and pay the fees accordingly. MOENV, revealed that a survey indicated that nearly 80% of those subjects to carbon fees are willing to propose their specified reduction goals by 2030 and apply for self-determined reduction plans to qualify for the premium rates of NT$50 or NT$100 per metric ton of CO2e.

The MOENV pointed out that, according to the Regulations Governing Self-Determined Reduction Plans (自主減量計畫管理辦法), enterprises are to file applications of self-determined reduction plans by 30 June 2025 in order to become eligible for the premium rates when registering and paying the 2025 carbon fees in 2026.
