This is the first time Sinosteel has exposed its secret weapon - carbon capture technology, and it is also a new technology that the industry is racing to study. It not only wants to meet Taiwan's goal of becoming carbon neutral in 2050, but also wants to solve the most urgent problems at hand through carbon reduction: carbon fee collection. The Environmental Protection Agency will levy a carbon fee as soon as 2024. Although there is a three-way tug-of-war between the group, the government and the industry as to how the carbon fee is collected, the only certainty is that carbon emissions will no longer be free for manufacturers in the future, and "net zero" is not The gorgeous propaganda slogans, the pressure and influence of this transformation, are bound to penetrate into the daily life of the people.

Wu Daren, a professor job email list at the Department of Economics at Central University, asserted that "all products will become more expensive in the future." He believes that before the introduction of carbon fees, manufacturers have already started carbon reduction actions, and carbon reduction must pay additional costs, which will eventually be passed on to consumers. In fact, Taiwan is not the first case to collect carbon tax. In October 2012, Japan levied a "carbon tax" on the basis of oil and coal tax. It was the first country in Asia to levy a carbon tax. Then Singapore also imposed a carbon tax. Indonesia, the United States, etc. in the evaluation study. The European Union proposed the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) last year.

The European Parliament passed the draft in June this year. It is expected to be on the road in 2027. It can be regarded as the first economy to set up carbon tariffs. The global wave of "pricing" carbon dioxide has long been irreversible. A domestic petrochemical plant pessimistically estimated that the cost of carbon emissions per ton in 2050 may reach 100 US dollars. He Lixian, the leading factory of turnkey projects in Taiwan and the sustainable director of Zhongding Group, said that if the cement industry does not reduce carbon and add carbon tax, the cost will increase by 70%, and the steel industry will increase by 30%; , "Some expenses must be taken out, depending on where you spend your money." In other words, carbon dioxide has become an internalized cost of
