摘要

Energy conservation and greenhouse gas reductions are the major components of the present energy policy in Taiwan. The production of electricity from nuclear source has resulted in a significant reduction in atmospheric emissions and in the consumption of conventional fossil fuels from what otherwise would have occurred. Over the period 1977-2007, electricity generated by Taiwan's nuclear power plants averted the following cumulative greenhouse gas emissions: 828 million tonnes of CO_2, 2.3 million tonnes of NO_x, 14 thousand tonnes of VOCs, and 5 thousand tonnes of CH_4. In addition, nuclear energy production displaced 330 million tonnes of coal that would otherwise have been burned to produce electricity by electric utility.

節能減碳是目前台灣能源政策的主要內容。用核能發電能夠顯著減少溫室氣體排放量與傳統燃料使用量。在1977－2007年期間，台灣核能發電廠的生產的電力使CO_2排放量減少8億2千8百萬公噸，NOx排放量減少2百30萬公噸，VOCs排放量1萬4千公噸，CH_4排放量5千公噸。此外，由於核能發電，節省用煤量達3億3千萬公噸。
