Abstract
After Fukushima nuclear disaster, nuclear policies are facing a severe challenge all around the world, including Taiwan. In November 2011, President Ma declared to abandon the policy of life extension of Taiwan nuclear power plants, and extend renewable energy and natural gas. However, it's a doubt that whether renewable energy and natural gas could fulfill the gap of baseload power once shutting down nuclear power plants, not mentioning the concern of high cost. Refer to IEA Energy Technology Perspectives and EU policies, CCS technology is subsumed in the policies to mitigate global warming as well as developing new technologies to stimulate economic grow followed by subprime mortgage crisis. Developing CCS requires to link up policies with law, but Taiwan has stopped in developing policies and disregarded research in legislation. To set up the legislation of developing Carbon Capture and Storage technology in Taiwan, this article will address the issue associated with the IEA model regulatory framework and the influential Directive 2009/31/EC for the inspiration of Taiwan's legal system.
