Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 環境工程所 === 91 === This study proposes a policy instrument that combining air pollution fee with emissions trading system, and analyses the benefits and costs by comparing this implementation regime to air pollution fee policy and the emissions trading system. Nitrous oxide (NOX) is taken for example and the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) devices will be chosen by emission sources as air pollution control devices. Using linear programming model as the method to estimate the costs and the amounts of NOX reduction performance by each policy instruments. The result shows that the combining system and the emissions trading system both have flexibility, cost minimization, and most reductions than only put air pollution fee policy. Still it is indicated that combining system is more uncomplicated in practice than only use of emissions trading at the early stage. Although combining fee with emissions trading system will practice less revenue than air pollution fee policy, it still has funds for operation in comparison with emissions trading system. Furthermore utilization of changing air pollution fee rate could achieve the objective amounts of reduction that expected. It is included that the combining policy instrument is feasible to apply in the future.
