Carbon fee estimation
Based on the estimated carbon emissions for 2024, Taipei Metro is projected to produce 287,347 metric tons and 116,531 metric tons of carbon emissions by 2050 under the STEPS and APS scenarios, respectively. Under the Net Zero Emissions Scenario (NZE), the Company is expected to successfully achieve its zero-carbon emission target. Using the carbon fee standard currently proposed by the Ministry of Environment as an example, a fee of NT$300 will be charged per metric of carbon emissions. The carbon fees payable by the Metro system are expected to increase annually. Without advancing low-carbon transformation and improving energy efficiency, the Company will face significant carbon fee pressures in the future under any carbon fee rate.
Response Actions
To address the financial risks associated with future carbon tariffs, Taipei Metro has established an "Energy Conservation Committee" to coordinate energy-saving strategies and target setting. Given that purchased electricity is a primary source of carbon emissions, the committee focuses on three main areas: improving equipment energy efficiency, optimizing operation management, and introducing innovative technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
