Abstract

There has been a worldwide trend to mitigate greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions in a bid to combat climate change by developing new technologies on energy saving and renewable energy, and Taiwan is no exception. This study focuses on this important environmental and economic issue and proposes a sustainable performance model to investigate the performance behavior of Taiwanese manufacturing industries after the Kyoto protocol went into effect in 2005. We observe that sustainable performance during the past decade has risen slightly due to the effectiveness of energy-saving technologies and low-carbon energy structures. These two are effective strategies for guiding manufacturing industries with large quantity of CO2 emissions to improve their production activities, especially in the reduction of fossil fuel usage. Keep in mind that currently electricity portfolio in Taiwan is still dependent on coal combustion, though renewable energy is gaining its momentum starting this decade, and is integral to the future of the energy supply planning to pursue sustainable environment proposed by Taiwan government.

台湾制造业十年可持续发展表现(2006-2015)

全球都有减少温室气体（CO2）排放的趋势，通过开发节能和可再生能源的新技术来应对气候变化，台湾也不例外。本研究聚焦于这一重要的环境和经济问题，并提出了一个可持续的绩效模型来调查2005年京都议定书生效后台湾制造业的绩效行为。我们观察到，由于节能技术和低碳能源结构的有效性，过去十年的可持续绩效略有上升。这两项战略是指导二氧化碳排放量大的制造业改善生产活动的有效战略，特别是在减少化石燃料使用方面。请记住，目前台湾的电力投资组合仍然依赖于燃煤，尽管可再生能源从本十年开始发展势头强劲，并且是台湾政府提出的追求可持续环境的能源供应规划的组成部分。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology (AUSMT) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal devoted to publishing research papers in the fields of automation and smart technology. Currently, the journal is abstracted in Scopus, INSPEC and DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals). The research areas of the journal include but are not limited to the fields of mechatronics, automation, ambient Intelligence, sensor networks, human-computer interfaces, and robotics. These technologies should be developed with the major purpose to increase the quality of life as well as to work towards environmental, economic and social sustainability for future generations. AUSMT endeavors to provide a worldwide forum for the dynamic exchange of ideas and findings from research of different disciplines from around the world. Also, AUSMT actively seeks to encourage interaction and cooperation between academia and industry along the fields of automation and smart technology. For the aforementioned purposes, AUSMT maps out 5 areas of interests. Each of them represents a pillar for better future life: - Intelligent Automation Technology. - Ambient Intelligence, Context Awareness, and Sensor Networks. - Human-Computer Interface. - Optomechatronic Modules and Systems. - Robotics, Intelligent Devices and Systems.
