韩政府公布新减排方案

Core Viewpoint - The South Korean government has announced ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets for the transportation sector, aiming for significant cuts by 2035, with proposals ranging from 48% to 65% reductions from 2018 levels [1][2]. Group 1: Emission Reduction Plans - The South Korean government presented four reduction plans corresponding to 2018 emissions of 742.3 million tons, targeting reductions of 48%, 53%, 61%, and 65% [1]. - For the transportation sector, the 48% reduction plan aims to decrease emissions from 98.8 million tons in 2018 to 44.3 million tons, while the 65% plan targets a reduction to 32.6 million tons [1]. Group 2: Electric and Hydrogen Vehicle Adoption - The government plans to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission vehicles, proposing that 30% and 34% of all vehicles be replaced with electric or hydrogen vehicles under the 48% and 53% plans, respectively [1]. - For the more ambitious 61% and 65% plans, the proportion of zero-emission vehicles must exceed 35% [1]. Group 3: Policy Measures and Incentives - The South Korean government is considering measures similar to the EU, such as restricting the sale of gasoline vehicles by 2035 [1]. - Plans include introducing dedicated taxes for zero-emission vehicles and corporate tax incentives to promote their adoption [1]. Group 4: Current Challenges - The transportation sector is identified as one of the lagging areas in South Korea's greenhouse gas reduction efforts, with emissions only slightly decreasing from 98.8 million tons in 2018 to 97.5 million tons projected for 2024, a mere 1.3% reduction [2]. - The adoption of electric and hydrogen vehicles faces challenges, including stagnant demand and reduced subsidies, with a target of 4.5 million vehicles by 2030, but only 850,000 currently in use [2].
