- Abstract
- This paper examines the variation of the primary energy factor and the emission factor of electricity generation from 1982 to 2009 in Taiwan. Results of the analysis show that the major effect of the aggregated primary energy factor of electricity was the generation mix effect. The pure primary energy coefficient effect on the change ratio of the primary energy factor of electricity was positive too, but the effect was limited. The major effect of the aggregated emission factor of electricity was the fossil fuel generation share effect of fossil fuel generation. The emission coefficient effect also had a positive effect on the change of the aggregated emission factor of electricity, but the effect was also limited in scope.
