ECOVE's Exceptional Carbon Reduction Wins EPA Carbon Reduction Label for Miaoli EfW Plant

ECOVE Environment Corporation (ECOVE) is committed to energy saving and carbon reduction in response to climate change, and its sustainable management actions have been once again affirmed. The Miaoli EfW plant, operated by its subsidiary ECOVE Miaoli Energy Corporation, has been awarded the "Product Carbon Footprint Reduction Label" by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA).

In response to the Carbon Label policy from the EPA and aiming to promote scientific management of carbon emissions, ECOVE actively implements its commitment to carbon reduction. Moreover, the Miaoli EfW plant has assisted the EPA in formulating the Product Category Rules (PCR) for "waste handling services". Besides serving as references for its own carbon labeling application, the rules also serve as the basis for common compliance for waste treatment companies' carbon labeling application.

The EPA has specified that products applying for Carbon Reduction Label need to reduce carbon footprint by 3% or more within three years. Miaoli EfW plant was awarded the carbon footprint certificate in 2020. From raw material (waste) acquisition, processing, power consumption during operation to waste/recycling services, the average carbon emission per 1 ton of waste treatment is 280kg. This represents a 15% reduction from the previous 330kg, far exceeding the 3% specified by the EPA and succeeded in obtaining the Carbon Reduction Label. After the product carbon footprint inventory, it was found that there was a 50kg reduction in carbon emissions per 1 metric ton of waste incineration. Based on the daily incineration volume of 500 metric tons, a daily carbon reduction of 25 metric tons can be achieved, thus reducing carbon absorptions of approximately 19 Da'an Forest Parks on an annual basis, fully demonstrating and achieving actual greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions.
