### English
* **Milestone Achieved**: Taiwan has successfully collected NT$4.97 billion (US$166 million) in its inaugural carbon fee cycle.
* **Program Scope**: The scheme covers 240 companies and 461 facilities, specifically targeting emitters producing over 25,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent annually.
* **Top Contributors**: The semiconductor industry led contributions with NT$2.2 billion (44.4%), followed by power generation (NT$630 million) and the steel/cement sectors (NT$530 million).
* **Pricing Structure**: The current rate is NT$300 per metric ton, with discounted rates of NT$50 or NT$100 available for companies participating in voluntary reduction programs.
* **Future Outlook**: The government plans to phase in higher carbon fee rates, increase carbon leakage adjustment factors from 0.2 to 0.4, and launch an emissions trading system (ETS) pilot by the end of 2026.
* **Decarbonization Impact**: Approved emissions reduction plans across 402 facilities are projected to reduce emissions by 47.45 million metric tons by 2030.
