The purpose of A Study of Strategy for Carbon-Free Island Jeju is to research the vision, goal, and strategy for reducing greenhouse gas and increasing carbon sink in Jeju Island for the ultimate goal of making the island a carbon neutral city by 2030. We worked together with the Jeju Development Institute to propose viable reduction technologies and strategies by taking into account the status, conditions and technological level of Jeju.
The study investigated the databases of the primary social and economic factors that should be considered while suggesting strategies for reducing greenhouse gases emission including greenhouse gas emissions, population, electric energy consumption, state of power generation facilities, number of registered cars, and number of tourists, and offered projections for greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Based on the projections which are divided into the sectors of power generation, transportation, household/building, waste, agriculture, fuel combustion, and industrial process, this study provides specific strategies by the year of 2030 and their economic effect.
In order to manage the power generation and transportation sectors since the greenhouse gas in Jeju are mostly emitted by these sectors, this study provides strategies such as new and renewable energy for the power generation sector and electric vehicle policies for the transportation sector. Also, the research suggests strategies such as adoption of new technologies, fuel replacement, and fostering of low-carbon culture in the sectors of household/building, waste, agriculture, fuel
