| 摘要 | A public concern arose as 3 SRF operations were chosen at the Taoyuan Environmental Protection Technology Park. As the agency in charge of environmental protection, the Ministry of Environment (MOENV) expresses that they are planning to establish an SRF consultant group for full-scale checkups and industrial consultation for SRF manufacturers and users. The group is intended to identify potential issues and come up with viable solutions. The local government needs to have the ability to deal with wastes within their own jurisdictions, while asking all new plants to comply with all applicable regulations for issuing a permit. On top of that, it is necessary to communicate with the public and uphold environmental justice. Local governments may punish companies that fail to comply with environmental protection laws. |
| 全文 | The conversion of wastes into useful resources is one way for Taiwan to reach net zero. Taiwan has started the conversion of combustible wastes into fuel by studying the development trends in advanced countries like EU and Japan. For better management, the MOENV amended the “Technical Guidelines and Quality Specifications for Manufacturing Solid Recovered Fuel (固體再生燃料製造技術指引與品質規範)” again on 22 March 2024 for intensified material source management. Our own SRF quality standards are established based on ISO standards, and a product classification system developed. Manufacturers are subject a 3-stage technical review (document review, field visit and trial run), and a mechanism for joint review by central and local governments are created to improve review quality and ensure that manufacturers have the ability to produce SRF. For the manufacturing of SRF, scrapped paper, plastics, wood and other non-hazardous and combustible wastes are selected from assortment of wastes, and subject to purification and homogenization before being converted into solid recovered fuel (SRF) complying with quality standards. The source of materials, manufacturing process and where the products are sold to are scrutinized for compliance with requirements. The SRF products are supplied for boilers fueled by coals, which not only solves the headache of increasing quantity of wastes, but also replace the use of coal for CO2 reduction. The public, on the other hand, has doubts about the deterioration of air quality that may come with the use of SRF. For this, the MOENV is working to review and integrate the regulations involved and specifies strictly that the facilities for which the use of SRF is permitted are fluidized bed boilers, rotary cement kilns or power generators complying with the Regulations for Installation and Management of Renewable Energy Generation Equipment, and the facilities in question shall be equipped with pollution control against dioxin, particulate matters, sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide. For the SRF users at the same time, the dioxin criteria will be tightened and frequency of regular inspections increased based on European and Japanese standards. The relevant regulations are expected to be developed by the end of June 2024 for intensified control on the air pollutant emissions by SRF users and reduced impacts on air quality. The MOENV points out that the SRF management needs to follow its position in the world, and a sound management solution established for manufacturers and users to follow the applicable regulations. The MOENV is planning to assemble the “consultation group for SRF operation checkups” to run a checkup on and provide industrial guidance for SRF manufacturers and users, and help them identify potential issues and ultimately advise improvement solutions. For the time being, the focus is on providing industrial guidance, diagnose problems and provide solutions and checkup reports; and for the long run, the goal is to examine the dynamics and benefits of SRF operations, propose a white paper on SRF development, and help businesses with the establishment of an alliance for a good development environment for SRF to turn waste into energy. |
