Since the Industrial Revolution in 18th century, the concentration of Green House Gasses mainly constituted of CO2 has risen drastically, causing the Green House Effect. Today, it is of the utmost importance to work on how to reduce the Green House Gases, and to slow down the Green House Effect. Countries around the world have signed all kinds of international treaties to reduce Green House Gasses, and such treaties have affected all industries in their strategies and carbon reduction thinking. Our country has announced Green House Gas Reduction and Management Act in 2015. Besides the benefits of avoiding local industries being boycotted by international trades and encouraging the industries to upgrade, it also brings serious trials to local industries that have high energy consumption and high carbon emissions (such as steel industry, etc.). At the same time, the enabled emission reduction thinking takes place, using life cycle thinking to analyze the carbon reduction effects of product applications. Enabled emission reduction is to consider the product of an industry in its applications, and the carbon reduction effect it would bring through the whole life cycle. As other documents have shown that enabled emission reduction of an industry’s product has many purposes. Thus, this study will take steel industry as an example, using life cycle thinking to discuss whether the products of such industry have enabled emission reduction efficiency, and via document analysis to evaluate and review the relations and applications between enabled emission reduction and Green House Gas Reduction and Management Act, hoping that such study can be a reference for the government in making future carbon reduction policies. The result of this study has shown that the steel industry product – seismic steel can bring a considerable enabled emission reduction efficiency in the application phase. It also proves that steel industry does exist enabled emission reduction. Through an overall analysis and comparison, it is safe to say that enabled emission reduction and our country’s Green House Gas Reduction and Management Act can be united into these purposes: A. To follow the principles of National Green House Effect Reduction, and create actual carbon reduction efficiency. B. To encourage industries producing enabled emission reduction products, and provide them with subsidies and rewards. C. To prevent and solve the problems of cap and trade, and benefit from persistent carbon reduction.
