Evaluation of Benefits and Health Co-Benefits of GHG Reduction for Taiwan's Industrial Sector under a Carbon Charge in 2023-2030.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the monetary GHG reduction benefits and health co-benefits for the industrial sector under the imposition of a carbon charge in Taiwan. The evaluation proceeds from 2023-2030 for different rates of carbon charge for the GHGs by a model of "Taiwan Economic Input Output Life Cycle Assessment and Environmental Value" constructed in this study. It is innovative in the literature to simulate the benefits of GHG reductions and health co-benefits of air pollutions for the industrial sector under the imposition of a carbon charge comprehensively.

The Monetary Benefits of Reducing Emissions of Dioxin-like Compounds-Century Poisons-Over Half a Century: Evaluation of the Benefit per Ton Method.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the monetary value of health benefits following reductions in century poison dioxin-like compounds for people aged 0-14 years old, 15-64 years old, and persons 65 years or over in Taiwan. The benefit per ton (BPT) method is employed to estimate the monetary value of the benefits of such a reduction from 2021 to 2070 for different age groups in different regions. The results indicate a BPT of US$837,915 per gram of dioxin each year.

Monetary Health Co-Benefits and GHG Emissions Reduction Benefits: Contribution from Private On-the-Road Transport.

This is the first study to provide a systematic monetary benefit matrix, including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction benefits and air pollution reduction health co-benefits, for a change in on-the-road transport to low-carbon types. The benefit transfer method is employed to estimate the social cost of carbon and the health co-benefits via impact pathway analysis in Taiwan. Specifically, the total emissions reduction benefits from changing all internal combustion vehicles to either hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, or electric vehicles would generate an average of USD 760 million from GHG emissions reduction and USD 2091 million from health co-benefits based on air pollution reduction, for a total benefit of USD 2851 million annually.
