Abstract
In this study, consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 to 2021 are calculated by the industry sector, and greenhouse gas emissions transferred due to trade between countries are compared to analyze what implications Korea has. As a result, production-based and consumption-based emissions in the United States, Germany, the EU, and the OECD are gradually decreasing. Production-based emission in Korea is larger than consumption-based emissions because Korean economic structure is import-oriented. However, unlike other developed countries, Korea cannot trade energy by land, so it can be said that it is reasonable to establish a greenhouse gas reduction plan considering Korea's unique characteristics.
