Korean government updated her Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) in 2021 and announced the target and various measures for reductions. Among the many issues, final energy demand and renewable energy power mix for 17 provinces to achieve the target are being analyzed using GCAM-Korea. Simulation results show that final energy demand of 2030 is approximated at the similar level to that of 2018. This is being enabled by the conservation of coal with higher electrification especially in industry sector. Higher power demand with lower coal consumption in final energy consumption is shown to be provided by 33.1% of renewable, 24.6% of gas, and 18.0% of nuclear power generation in 2030. Meanwhile, the share of coal-fired power generation is expected to be reduced to 12.8%. Major future power provider becomes Gyeongbuk (Nuclear), Gyeonggi (Gas), Jeonnam (Nuclear, Gas) and Gangwon (PV, Wind), compared to one of current major power provider Chungnam (Coal). This analysis is expected to provide a useful insight toward the national and provincial energy and climate change policy.

It has been taken for 10 years since Climate Change Convention could it be made. And Kyoto Protocol will come into force as an international law as from 16. Feb 2005. As based on it, Annex I countries will implement their mitigation projects on GHG reductions and press developing countries on GHG reduction target. Korea has not duty target on it yet. But it will be held a COP(Conference of Party) on negotiation for reduction target of second commitment period. If Korea has a real duty, Industry sector should reduce GHG emissions. Then Market mechanism will be need to introduce for this. This study started having a question "Is it possible to introduce emissions trading in Korea?". To solve the problem, this study analysed GHG emissions, marginal abatement cost, market price with 11 companies of industry (about 36% of Korea emissions). minus target is impossible to implement reduction target ver base year (2002). And emissions trading scheme also can't make the market without additional policy and measures. This study suggest that it is need to import credits and give a subsidy of government to encourage it. The imported credit can reduce the demand curve within the marginal abatement cost curves. But the effectiveness of credit is not the same as continually growth. As a result, Allowing 40% credit into emissions trading market is the best to reduce costs. However, a subsidy is the little bit difference. A subsidy make marginal abatement cost curves down for itself. Giving 30% for subsidy, it is the best. Considering both of importing credits and subsidy, it is the best effects in the reducing cost for company. especially 30% is the best effects respectively. This Study show that government wants to consider designing emissions trading, encourage participants competitiveness, and encourage the early action, government has to allow credit trading and give a subsidy to participants.

Korea is one of the few OECD countries having no binding Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction obligations under the Kyoto Protocol. Korea is going to enforce a powerful greenhouse gas emissions control to the industry from 2015. Current GHG reduction policies do not take into account the trade-off between economic growth and GHG mitigation, this approach will not be sustainable. Sectoral approach, considering industry by industry may be more eco-friend approach. This study verified the validity of the analysis results counted from whole procedure of energy input-output analysis and decomposition analysis to sector 'Organic basic chemical products' and 'Cement and concrete products'. Empirical test was performed using changes in energy consumption, production, process improvements and new facilities. Although the results showed unstable fluctuations from Divisia index decomposition analysis, it was verified that the entire procedure can provide a clue in understanding of the industry's energy and GHG footprint.

The growing amount of using the fossil fuel is bringing about environmentally, economically serious problems like as global warming. To solve the problems, the international society has begun to decrease greenhouse gases through the international agreement like as the climate change convention. In South of Korea, it was presented practical goal of Green Development try to decrease greenhouse, which is the future 60 years vision. And, it contains the strategies of Green Development and 5th Plan of Green Development. Nowadays, the government accepted the active alternative scenario 3, which is the goal of 4% decrease in greenhouse gases until 2020's, presented by Presidential Committee on Green Growth. This study established the strategies of Transport Demand Management to decrease the greenhouse gases in transportation part, and then we measured the effect of them. As a result, if it takes effect the aggressive strategies annually, it will cut greenhouse gas pollution by 3.1%, which is 7,590,000t$CO_2eq$, in transportation part. So, we can expect that it would be the effective policy tool to achieve the goal of government, which is the Green Development, if it controls the strategies of TDM effectively by the political needs.

지난 "저탄소 녹색성장 기본법"이 4월 14일부터 시행됨에 따라 온실가스 에너지 목표관리 제도가 본격 실시됐다. 이에 따라 국가 배출량의 약 70%를 차지하는 600여개 배출업체에 대해 온실가스 에너지관리 목표를 설정 관리해 나가게 되며, 이는 국가 온실가스 감축목표 달성을 위한 초석이 될 것으로 예상된다. 정부는 이 제도의 효과적인 정착을 위해 기업에 준비기간을 부여하고, 초과실적에 대한 인센티브 방안을 마련하는 등 유연한 제도 도입을 약속했다.

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.

We develop an energy-economy Bayesian DSGE model with the two sectors of electricity generations-traditional (fossil, nuclear) and renewable energy. Under imperfect substitutability between the two sectors, a technological shock on renewable energy sectors does not sufficient to facilitate energy conversion and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Technology innovation on greenhouse gas emission reduction is also required. More importantly, sufficient investment should be derived by a well-functioning electricity market where electricity price plays a signal role in efficient allocation of resources. Indeed, market rigidities cause reduced consumption.

'신기후체제 대응' 이라는 범국가적 미션 뿐 만 아니라 현재 국내에서의 원자력계 입지를 고려할 때 원자력계의 적극적인 대처와 전략이 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구는 기후기술과 기술협력의 중요성에 주목하여 연구기관 및 관련 기업이 현재 보유 혹은 개발 중이거나 향후 개발 가능한 온실가스 감축 및 기후변화 적응에 활용 가능한 기술과 연구분야를 발굴하기 위해 추진되었다. 이를 위해 한국원자력연구원 및 연구원 Family 기업을 대상으로 총 3회의 조사를 시행하였다. 이를 통해 원자력발전을 통한 온실가스 감축 기여 외에도 원자력계 내에 온실가스 감축과 기후변화 적응 기술을 다양하게 보유하고 있음을 증명하였고, 정책적 시사점을 도출하였다. 국가 주도의 기후기술 연구 전략이 성공적으로 수립 이행되기 위해서는 연구 및 정책 분야 전문가들의 기후기술에 대한 명확한 이해와 정부의 지원이 필요하다. 마지막으로 기술 활용 혹은 개도국으로의 이관 시 국가 NDC 달성에 얼마만큼 영향을 미치는지에 대한 성과 측정 기준이 확정 된다면 향후 고도화된 연구개발 전략 수립은 물론, 연구자들의 참여도를 이끌어 낼 수 있을 것이라 판단한다.
