Many countries have implemented a variety of climate and energy policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and expand renewable energy production. The ultimate goals of those policies are associated with transition to a low-carbon economy that aims to combat climate change and economic growth. This study aims to examine empirically if the countries which implement overlapping climate policies and renewable energy policies show additional reduction of the GHG emissions than the countries which implement single climate or renewable energy policy. The result shows that overlapping policies contribute to reduce additional GHG but not all cases. In particular, only overlapping policies mixing 'ETS and RPS(renewable portfolio standards)' and 'Carbon Tax and FIT(Feed-in Tariff)' can lead to additional reduction of GHG emissions.

Reducing emissions across all sectors requires a well-designed policies tailored to fit specific national circumstances. And every climate policymaker would like to have an accurate method of assessing the quantitative impacts of future policies to address GHG-related problems. Estimates of future changes in a nation's GHG emissions, the expected environmental impacts of future energy sector developments, and the potential costs and benefits of different climate technology and mitigation policy options are desirable inputs to policy making. Various mitigation analysis and modeling approaches helped to fill the needs for these kinds of information, and as such has been an important part of national mitigation policy making in many countries for most of two decades. This paper provides a overview of GHG mitigation policies and mitigation analysis, and sectoral mitigation circumstances and potentials.

This study estimates baseline greenhouse gas emissions from transport sector when a new town is developed. It has adopted a general greenhouse gas estimation model developed by Schipper, celine, Roger(2000) for the estimation, and showed how various transport related statistics can be utilized in detail. Particularly, it has produced unit greenhouse gas emission factor per vehicle types, vehicle-km, and trip-km. To evaluate effects of greenhouse gas reduction policies, it has calculated how much emissions will be reduced from bicycle promotion. It has turned out that about 369 thousand tons of carbon dioxide will be emitted from transport sector once the 1st Geomdan New Town is developed in Incheon metropolitan city. If the policy of bicycle promotion can attract people to use bicycle as much as 5% of total trips, then it can reduce about 1,869 tons of carbon dioxide.

This study quantitatively analyzes the impact of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction policies on the global economy. To this end, we develop a multi-national and multi-industry static computational general equilibrium model that includes three components-GHG emissions from production, disutility due to GHG emissions, and governments' GHG emissions reduction policies. Then we calibrate the model with the relevant data and solve for the equlibrium using the most recent methodology (exact hat algebra). We find that the strengthening of unilateral GHG emissions reduction policies for each country reduces carbon emissions from domestic producers, but does not necessarily reduce global carbon emissions as production is relocated to other countries. On the other hand, we can reduce GHG emissions when all major countries simultaneously implement the strengthened reduction policies proposed by the OECD (2016). Our results imply that aligned reduction efforts of major countries are necessary to reduce global GHG emissions.

정부에서는 2010년 4월 14일 시행된 "저탄소 녹색성장 기본법"의 주요 정책수단으로 "온실가스 에너지 목표관리제도"를 규정하고 있다. 온실가스를 다량으로 배출하거나 에너지를 많이 소비하는 사업장을 관리업체로 지정하고 2012년도 온실가스 감축목표를 설정 통보하였다. 관리업체들은 올해부터 본격적인 온실가스 배출랑 줄이기에 들어가게 된다. 목표관리제의 이행을 통해 온실가스 배출권 거래제의 도입에 필요한 중요한 토대를 마련할 수 있을 것으로 기대가 되고 있다.

The purpose of this study is to establish a methodology for evaluating quantitative effects of transportation GHG (greenhouse gas) reduction-related policies that were implemented based on the reduction goals of transportation GHG and effective implementation plans. This study uses a modal utility function and demand estimation models as well as a GHG emission basic unit estimation model by each transportation mode based on actual traffic and emission data. The results showed that the effects of GHG reduction policies such as electric vary from region to region, and from vehicle to vehicle. It is also confirmed that an eco-drive promotion policy, one of the lowest budget policies, is expected to contribute to high reduction in GHG. In addition, not only automobile emission improvement policies but also the promotion policies of public transportation are expected to highly reduce GHG as confirmed quantitatively in this study. The results of this study are expected to be useful for national and local governments' evaluation of GHG reduction policies to cope with the post 2020.

2008년부터 유럽연합국가, 일본, 러시아 등은 2012년 연간온실가스 배출량을 평균적으로 1990년의 배출량보다 약5%정도 낮은 수준으로 제한하여야 한다. 이러한 온실가스 배출량 감축을 위해서 선진국들은 국내적으로는 에너지효율향상, 신재생에너지 보급확대 등의 정책을 시행하고 있으며, 이를 보다 낮은 비용으로 감축하기 위하여 국내 또는 역내 온실 가스배출권 거래제도를 도입하여 시행하고 있다. 이들 국가들은 국내정책만으로는 최소의 비용으로 온실가스 감축목표를 달성할 수 없다는 인식하에 동유럽국가, 그리고 중국 등 개발도상국들에 대한 온실가스 감축사업에 투자를 하여 온실가스 감축의 일부 또는 전부를 자국의 감축실적으로 인정받는 공동이행체제(joint implementation), 청정개발체제(clean development mechanism)사업을 전개하고 있다.

배출권거래제가 내년 1월부터 시행될 예정이다. 이에 기업들은 실제 온실가스 배출증가 추세와 신 증설 시설 투자계획 등을 고려한 현실적인 할당이 이루어지길 원하며 정부는 국가 감축목표 달성이 가능하도록 할당량을 결정하고자 한다. 온실가스 감축목표는 다양한 정책의 종합결과물로서 에너지정책, 산업발전정책, 온실가스 감촉기술발전 추이 등이 종합적으로 고려되어야 한다. 배출권거래제의 안정적 운영과 지속적인 경제성장을 담보하기 위해서라도 환경보전과 산업경쟁력을 동시에 고려하는 합리적 대안이 마련되기를 희망해 본다.

This paper analyzes the economic and environmental impacts of domestic policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by focusing on carbon tax, domestic emissions trading and the mixture of these policies. By utilizing a dynamic CGE model, KORTEM, this study shows that the economic cost under carbon tax is projected to be higher than that under emission trading. It is because under carbon tax scheme each emitter in economy must meet its emission target regardless of the abatement cost. On the other hand, emission trading allows emitters to reduce the marginal cost of abatement through trading of emission permits. In designing policy portfolio to address the climate change problem in Korea, therefore, this paper proposes the introduction of domestic emission trading scheme as the main domestic policy Instrument.

The goal of this study is to analyse the effects of financial support by governmental on KERRP (Korea Emission Reduction Registration Project) in the case of descending clock auction. Result shows that about 60% of total reduction (612,000ton) can be achieved at the price of 8,000 Won/ton with the budget amount of 5 billion Won, if the benefit from energy saving by the project is not included. Also 100% of total reduction (1,015,713ton) can be achieved at the price of 4,900Won/ton, if the benefit from energy saving by the project is included. Because most projects get some benefits from the energy saving occurred by project performance, the financial support by government may not be needed. However, this type of support would be meaningful from the aspect of encouraging GHG (Green House Gas) reduction to be prepared for the potential obligation of national GHG reduction from 2013.
