Although Taiwan is not a member of the United Nations, thus not eligible participating international environmental agreements in the UN’s arena, however, due to the concerns of global environment, as well as national image on environmental protection, both the government and the enterprises of Taiwan alike are determined to construct its own feasible legal as well as executive framework to deal with the mitigation and adaptation of GHG emission issue, taking the UNFCCC and Kyoto protocol as a reference, at the same time to minimize possible negative impact on national comparative competitiveness. This study is conducted to analyze the interrelations among energy, environmental and economic performance of the electronic components manufacturing sector in Taiwan, taking the availability of energy (electricity, to be exact) and water resource as constraints for the expansion of its capacity. A linear programming model is constructed to fulfill the objective in which the feature of inter-industry structure of the economy is captured by the Input-Output framework. The consumption of energy and water resources and the resulting pressures on CO2 emission reduction and water resource shortage are taking into account as constraints in the model. Scenarios regarding the strategies of future development of this particular sector have been evaluated, accordingly. The conclusions are summarized as following: (一) Aside from environmental aspect, the government should comprehensively taking economic and energy prospective into consideration in determining the future development policy for the electronic component manufacturing sector. (二) Specific considerations should be rendered to the sub-sector of print circuit board that the manufacturing of PCB is featured with high energy intensity as well as low value-added. It suggests that either energy substitution or efficiency improvement should be implemented for the future development of the sector in order to cope with relative regulations in EU market.
