The current government tries to pursue a series of energy plans and strategies which have been recently established under the banner of 'green growth'. Although there have been several critical comments on the energy policy, the structural background under which the energy policy has been established and implemented has not yet been scrutinized. This paper understands the current government's strategy for 'green growth' and energy policy as a process of neoliberalization. In particular, the energy policy is characterized as industrialization, marketization, technologization, and financialization of energy, which bring about a lot of detailed issues. This kind of 'green growth' strategy is far from the model of sustainable development, and rather seems to be well interpreted in terms of what Harvey calls 'accumulation by dispossession'. As the government's strategy for 'green growth' and energy policy denies the roll of citizens and civil society which would mediate and arbitrate the contradiction between environment preservation and economic growth, and conflicts between market mechanism and state intervention, so alternatives to the 'green growth' strategy should be orientated to a citizen-participating and civil society-led energy policy.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport (MOLIT) is implementing a zero-energy building (ZEB) certification to save energy for the building section and to accelerate the achievement of national greenhouse gases reduction goals in accordance with a new climate regime. In 2014, the MOLIT announced a plan for early activation of the ZEB, and in January 2016, the "Green Buildings Construction Support Act" was revised and established. In addition, the plan was established to gradually spread zero-energy buildings from the public sector in 2020 to the private sector by 2025. Therefore, this study analyzed the self-sufficiency rate of each energy factor according to the implementation of the zero energy building certification of school facilities that belong to the public sector and are included in the mandatory zero energy buildings from 2020.

It is not surprising to hear news about irresistible natural disasters all over the world due to climate change. Korean Government has focused on developing a variety of green technologies to reduce green house gasses, in particular, carbon dioxide. This study suggested 18 technology divisions for achieving green highway technology development in six different sub-sectors considering life-cycle of roadway and surveyed 29 highway and/or transportation professionals of three institutes using AHP(Analytical Hierarchy Process) analysis to construct "Green Highway"and realize carbon emission reductions and energy use efficiency in a road sector in Korea. Expert Choice Software was used to rank 18 technology divisions weighted by two-level choices. Transport Operating Infrastructure Improvement, Roadway Policy Implementation, Green Transportation(such as Pedestrian and Bicycle) were highly ranked by respondents according to results of the AHP modeling. Among the 18 divisions, technology policy for supporting R&D investments from development to commercialization was ranked as the most significant one to be focused. Green Transportation Facility Design/Construction/Operation and Eco-Friendly Roadway Plan were followed as expected since professionals have thought that the planning/design step of the life-cycle is a starting point to reduce carbon dioxide from roads more and more. Additionally, comparing the results with the Government investment trend 2006-2011 for the roads, it can be interpreted that the Government should invest to the R&D area more widely than before to promote element and core technology development for Green Highway Construction. Above all, small and mid-sized businesses have to be invested as well as encouraged to undertake green highwayrelated objects to accomplish the divisions which ranked high.

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.

Korea government has established and pursued green technology development strategy as the core of green growth, for example, withdrawal of 27 key green technologies through 'green technology research and development comprehensive plan ('09.1)' since 'low carbon green growth' was proposed as a new national development paradigm. In this study, we performed the Delphi survey of technology levels of 131 strategic product and service technologies derived from 27 key green technologies, utilizing large-scale group of green technology experts. The survey of technology level among main five nations resulted in the world's leading nation (US) versus EU (99.4%), Japan (95.3%), Korea (77.7%), China (67.1%) and Korea was ranked fourth. The technology gap between the world's leading nation (US) and Korea is 4.1 years behind EU (3.9 years) and Japan(3.1 years), but 2.1 years earlier than China. For our nation, key green technologies with high technology level are 'improved light water reactor (90.1%)', 'silicon-based solar cell (85.0%)', 'high-efficiency low-emission car (84.5%)' in order. Depending on the investment type of key green technologies, technology level is represented as short-term (85.0%), mid-term (77.3%) and long-term (71.1%) in order, indicating that lower technology level requires mid-to long-term investment and that the investment type is set appropriate.

This study attempts to find the relationship between achievement of environmental industry and development of financial sector by analyzing cross-sectional data for OECD countries. Development of financial industry has a positive effect on environmental industry. Green financing also affects improvement of environmental quality. Demand for environmental quality is positively influenced by GDP per capita, while financial crisis has a bad effect on environmental performance. Government-led green financing in Korea has a major role in the Korean environmental policy for years. While market-oriented green financing improves the efficiency of regulation, government-led green financing may delay internalization of environmental cost due to its subsidizing effect. Further study should include systematic analysis on the scope of green financing and its qualitative attribute and fundamental causality between green financing and environmental improvement.
