The Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment aims to supply 100GW of renewable energy by 2030 by revising regulations on solar power distance and enacting a special law to promote agrivoltaics. Additionally, it plans to establish a roadmap for decarbonization energy transition, including the 12th Basic Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand and the 2040 Coal Power Transition Roadmap, and to provide clean water through the implementation of a seasonal management system for green algae.
The ministry reported its major work plans for the next year to realize a decarbonized civilization in South Korea. This was the first annual work report since the ministry’s establishment, focusing on decarbonization strategies. It plans to lay the foundation for a decarbonized civilization by responsibly implementing the 2030 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for greenhouse gas reduction.
The government aims to supply 100GW of renewable energy by 2030 by revising regulations on solar power distance and enacting a special law to promote agrivoltaics. Additionally, it plans to rationalize regulations and establish a comprehensive support system to closely support permits for wind power, aiming to supply 12GW of onshore wind and 25GW of offshore wind by 2035. It will also promote early commercialization through the development and demonstration of next-generation technologies and establish an energy highway suitable for the renewable energy era.
The policy to expand the supply of electric vehicles will also be enhanced by restructuring the subsidy system to improve performance and safety while reducing costs, and by rapidly expanding charging facilities. Additionally, it plans to promote the decarbonization and efficiency of building energy consumption and strengthen policies to increase carbon absorption for carbon neutrality. Measures will be implemented in various sectors, including natural environment, fine dust, ecological and environmental services, and household waste, to ensure a pleasant living environment for the public.
