借鏡英國 論我國溫室氣體減量的挑戰：以部署無六氟化硫電力設備為核心

Abstract

In front of ever-growing electricity demand and climate challenges, worldwide electric utilities have been struggling to find a balance between energy consumption and environmental protection. Take the gas-insulated switch (GIS) for example - an equipment commonly used by electric utilities utilizing Sulfur-hexafluoride (SF6) as an insulting medium is closely related to the issues of global warming. Even if it is beneficial to energy efficiency, the warming effects of SF6 is about 23,500 times higher than carbon dioxide. Although alternatives to SF6 have been developed, it is still difficult for electric utilities to replace this widespread equipment so as SF6 immediately. This article takes UK as an example to illustrate how a government develops its carbon emission goals and strategies to comply with the regulations and how Taiwan may in this regard learn from the UK experience.
