In accordance with the global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Korean government submitted its INDC (Intended Nationally Determined Contribution) of 25.7% for domestic reduction and the total of 37% reduction by 2030 including the purchase of emission reduction permit from abroad. In this study, 25.7% reduction target is being evaluated to see its impact on domestic energy system using the integrated assessment model, GCAM (Global Change Assessment Model). Results show that electricity generation from fossil fuel technologies using coal and gas decrease by 28.0%, 13.5% while that of biomass, wind power, solar energy increase by 47.6%, 22.0% and 45.4%, respectively. It is worth noting that so called new technology such as USC (ultra supercritical power generation) does not contribute to achieving the emission reduction target and careful and quantitative analysis is required for such categorization in the future.

온실가스 자발적 감축목표(INDC; Intended Nationally Determined Contribution)는 공동의 책임을 강조하면서, 동시에 각자의 능력과 국가별 여건을 고려토록 하는 원칙을 갖고 있다. 형평성(equity)과 진전(no back sliding)을 고려하여, 우리의 여건을 적절히 설명하고, 우리의 목표가 얼마나 의욕적이며, 우리의 배출량이나 경제규모에 비추어 공정한지를 잘 설명하는 것이 중요하다. 우리 경제가 감당할 정도의 감축목표를 우리나라에 적합한 방법으로, 정부-산업-시민이 합의한 방법으로 합심하여 온실가스를 감축하여야 한다.
