Abstract

As greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction is a long-term challenge for any economy, visualizing the kinds of measures an economy would have to adopt in order to reach its GHG reduction targets. Therefore, the goal of this study is to provide results and directions for future development of the main economic sectors in Taiwan, through analyzing nine long-term (2050) carbon reduction pathways from the technical perspectives.
