Interplay Between Carbon Trading and Supply Chain Management: A Case Study of the Taiwan Carbon Exchange
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study conducts an in-depth examination of the Taiwan Carbon Exchange through a case study approach, employing diverse research methods such as data collection, corporate interviews, analysis, and the utilization of questionnaires to gain insights into its operational model and broader impact on the carbon market. Corporate interviews yield firsthand insights and opinions from key industry stakeholders, while questionnaires ensure a broader participant base, fostering a more diverse range of opinions and data. Focusing on the carbon exchange as the subject of research allows for a thorough analysis of Taiwan's practicalities in carbon trading. The empirical information gathered strengthens the study's conclusions and enhances their reliability. This research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the carbon exchange's operational framework, its influence on the carbon market, and the future trajectory of Taiwan's carbon trading development.
