This study evaluates the greenhouse gas reduction potential of the Korean Green New Deal, focusing on the support programs of new and renewable energy deployment. For this purpose, the study reviews the Korean government's budget for support programs related to new and renewable energy deployment and also analyzes the details of implementation of the new and renewable energy deployment support programs of the Korea Energy Agency. As a result of the evaluation, the total budget for the four programs (housing support, building support, convergence project support, and local project support) is estimated to be approximately KRW 1.9 trillion from 2020 to 2025. The amount of greenhouse gas reduction in 2025 achieved by the new and renewable energy facilities to be deployed through the four support programs between 2020 and 2025 is estimated to be about 1.07 million tons CO2eq. As such, the potential for greenhouse gas reduction of the support programs was not very large. This is because the target of the support programs is not the power generation company, but the energy consumer in houses and general buildings. We confirm that reduction of greenhouse gases in large-scale fossil fuel power plants is essential to significantly reduce greenhouse gases in the energy transformation sector. In order to expand self-generation and consumption of renewable energy, it is necessary to establish a system in which the benefits from investment in renewable energy power generation facilities are directly returned to facility investors. To this end, this study proposed an issuance of the Renewable Energy Point (REP) and the introduction of a power transmission and distribution rate system. Furthermore, accurate information disclosure and steady evaluation of effectiveness are essential to promote carbon neutrality through the Korean Green New Deal. The effectiveness of the Green New Deal should be improved by transparently disclosing the specific programs covered by the budget and periodically checking the program performance. | |
