As a result of the Fukushima disaster and climate change due to excessive greenhouse gases, international energy affairs are currently focused on establishing safe and environment-friendly policies. To achieve this, Republic of Korea has established a plan for environment-friendly energy supplies. It is expected that policy enforcement will be accompanied by an increase in energy supply costs. An analysis of energy supply costs is necessary before the establishment of any national energy policy. This paper analyzes and compares the energy supply costs accompanying environmental and nuclear energy policies, based on the Korean National Energy Master Plan and the Basic Plan for Long-Term Electricity Supply and Demand, in order to understand the implications of these national energy policies.

As one of renewable energy sources, biomass is playing a major role in reducing the greenhouse gas emission in the UK. The country currently produces about 4.5% (18.1TWh in 2006) of the total electricity generation from renewables, where biomass-based sources accounts for 50% of the amount and the remainder mostly from hydro and windpower. In 2007, the UK government has announced its new energy policy through the Energy White Paper, which includes an ambitious national target of 60% cuts in carbon emission by 2050. Complementary strategic plans in key renewable energy technologies accompanied the Energy White Paper, including biomass strategy, waste strategy and low carbon transportation strategy. This paper summarizes the current status and policy of UK for renewable energy production with focus on the use of biomass and bioenergy.

In these days global energy policy is changed from "supply" to "demand". In this regards, there are needs to analysis on effect of policy such as energy efficiency strategy, electricity rates. This study examines the relationship between energy consumption reduced by new energy policy and GDP growth for each industrial sector for Korea from 1970 to 2013. With respect to the direction of causality, energy use of 1th industry like agriculture and mining leads to GDP growth. On the other hand, GDP growth of 2nd industry, manufacturing, leads to energy use. And there is bidirectional causality in 3rd industry, service sector. These findings imply that the government policies aimed at reducing electricity consumptions and increasing energy efficiency should be progressed cautiously depend on status of each industry condition.

This paper explores the ways by which the authority concerned with nuclear energy policy-making in Korea can strengthen its organisational sustainability from long-term perspective. In doing so, it applies the system dynamics approach to predict what would happen to the organisational sustainability of the nuclear energy authority in the future. In the process of analysis, it also draws causal loop map of components contained in the simulation model and constructs user-interface simulation model. It shows different predicted future values regarding organisational sustainability of the nuclear energy authority in Korea and puts forward some policy implications for practitioners and academics involved in nuclear energy policy.

Oil is obviously vital for economic growth and industry development. This paper attempts to explore whether or not there is a inverted-U relationship between oil consumption and economic growth. To this end, we employ a panel data analysis with fixed effect or random effect models using the set of data from 61 countries for the year 1990-2008. In conclusion, a statistically significant inverted-U relationship between per capita consumption of oil and per capita GDP is found. However, the level of per capita GDP at the peak point of per capita oil consumption is estimated to be 65,072 in 2005 international constant dollars, which is much larger than economic scales of sampled countries. Thus, as per capita GDP grows, per capita oil consumption is predicted to increase until eventually reaching the peak.

This article examines the causality relationship among SMP, base-load share, LNG import price, and exchange rate in Korean power market during 2002~2012, using unit root test, cointegration test, and vector error correction model(VECM). The cointegration test shows that 4 variables without unit root have been in the long-run causality. As the results of ECM, SMP is analyzed to have been unilaterally caused from LNG import price and base-load share in the shot-run, while it has been unilaterally caused from LNG import price and exchange rate in the long-run. This article has the following policy implications: the adjustment of exchange rate to reduce he risk of LNG import price and the proper securement of base-load share for the long-run stability of SMP.

South Korean central government has launched the first comprehensive climate change policies in 1999, and they have been renewed every three year. The third policies ended in 2007. However, it is quite rare to analyze whether the climate change policies are effective against climate change. In this context, this paper aims at analyzing the effectiveness of climate change policy which was launched for seven years from 1999 to 2007 in South Korea. The effectiveness analysis of policy can be done in terms of the individual policy and/or all policies being synthesized as a comprehensive unit. Employing the latter methodology, this paper analyzed the effectiveness on the basis of economic growth as independent variable, greenhouse gas emission as dependent variable, and energy use and its process as intervening variable. Seven analytic indicators covering the three variables were selected on the basis of two points in time before and after climate change policy having been launched. The seven indicators were analyzed in terms of three aspects. They were the change in the state of each indicator, the effectiveness of climate change policy from 1999 to 2007, and the effectiveness process from 1999 to 2007. The effectiveness process was analyzed in terms of the relational context and its flow processing path. Economic growth was advanced remarkably with increase in the total consumption of energy. As a result, greenhouse gas emission increased. However, energy efficiency increased with significant decrease in energy intensity, carbon intensity, and energy elasticity. The expansion of new and renewable energy over total energy supply was not effective significantly on the decrease in greenhouse gas emission. The processing path of climate change policy being effective advanced toward increase in energy efficiency through energy intensity rather than toward sustainable development. Such a way of the effectiveness of climate change policy implies that most policies focused on adaptation rather than on mitigation.

This paper deals with the national competitiveness of hydrogen energy. The effectiveness of investments for hydrogen energy R&D and constructions of hydrogen energy infrastructures can be evaluated by the national competitiveness of hydrogen energy, and it is evaluated by an AHP(analytic hierarchy process) method. The evaluation indices of the national competitiveness are selected as the technical level, the number of researchers, the investments for R&D, and the infrastructure of hydrogen energy. Similarly, the technical level is divided into the number of published papers, the number of foreign patents, and the number of published proceeding papers. The evaluation indices of the technical level and the number of researchers were investigated by database searches. It appears that South Korea locates the sixth position in the world. The results of our study suggest that South Korea is relatively competitive in the technical level and the number of researchers. However, our country needs the long-term and well-focused R&D, and the expansion of infrastructures to enhance the national competitiveness of hydrogen energy in the future.

파리 기후변화협약에 따라 온실가스 감축의 대안으로 도시가스가 각광받고 있다. 본 논문은 한국과 일본 도시가스산업의 경제적 파급효과를 한국은행의 산업연관표(2013)와 일본 경제산업성의 산업연관표(2011)를 활용하여 비교분석하였다. 분석의 결과, 생산유발효과, 부가가치유발효과, 취업유발효과 등은 모두 한국이 일본보다 크게 나타났다. 그러나 공급지장효과와 물가파급효과 역시 한국이 일본보다 크게 나타나는 것으로 분석되었다. 이에 따라 한국의 도시가스산업을 활성화하기 위해 생산유발, 부가가치유발 및 취업유발효과 등을 확대하고, 공급지장과 물가파급효과 등을 예측하여 국민경제를 안정화할 수 있는 정책이 함께 마련되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

정부는 에너지 절약시책의 일환으로 제1,2차 석유파동 후 1983년에 목동신시가지에 집단에너지 사업을 도입하였다. 이후 집단에너지산업의 공급규모는 꾸준히 증가추세를 보이고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 2009년도 산업연관표에 근거한 투입산출분석을 이용하여 집단에너지산업의 국민경제적 파급효과를 분석하고자 한다. 수요유도형 모형을 이용하여 집단에너지산업에서의 생산 혹은 투자가 다른 산업에 미치는 영향에 대하여 논의한다. 공급유도형 모형을 적용하여 집단에너지산업에서의 공급지장이 다른 산업에 미치는 효과에 대해 살펴본다. 레온티에프 가격모형을 이용하여 집단에너지산업의 가격 변동이 다른 산업의 산출물 가격에 미치는 영향에 대해 검토한다. 특히 집단에너지산업을 중심에 놓고 이를 외생화하여 분석하는 접근방법을 취했다. 분석 결과를 요약하자면, 집단에너지산업은 낮은 생산유발효과, 높은 공급지장효과, 낮은 물가파급효과, 낮은 전방연쇄효과, 낮은 후방연쇄효과를 가진다. 이러한 정량적 정보는 집단에너지산업을 위한 정책결정에 있어서 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.
