Wongee Chun
Good morning everyone. It’s my pleasure to meet you all.
My name is suk hyun Chun
It's a great honor for me to give this presentation to you.
Today, I would like to talk about status of new and renewable energy in Korea.
Now, let me start the presentation.

2. New and High Oil Price Era
Current Global Energy Status
New and High Oil Price Era
Political instability of oil producing countries
Rapid increase of oil demand, such as China, India
Competition for scarce resources
Enhanced control and nationalization of fossil energy
First and foremost, I would like to talk about surrounding global energy status in recent years.
First, we are in new high oil-price era.
Second, we’ve seen fierce competition for scarce resources due to source countries’ enhanced control over its resources and nationalization of fossil energy.
Third, strict international environmental standards such as Kyoto Protocol are introduced.
Global movement to protect environment
Effectuation of Kyoto Protocol(’05.2) 2

3. High dependency on energy imports
Energy Status of Korea

Oil in total energy
Because of rapid economic growth propelled by the heavy and chemical industries, Korea's energy consumption has increased sharply since the mid-1970s. 
Total primary energy consumption, which stood at 44 million tons of oil equivalent (TOE) in 1980, increased nearly five-fold to 234 million TOE (estimate) in 2007.

Primary energy consumption increased on the average of 7.5% annually during 80s and 90s; from 2000, the increasing rate is maintained under 5%.
Energy intensity is improving since 1997; however, it is still higher compared to those of advanced countries.

5. Burden on the mandate reduction of GHG become real
Growing Need for NRE in Korea
Burden on the mandate reduction of GHG become real
Korea is 10th GHG emission country in the world(’05)
Energy Paradigm Shift
※ oil – peak within 20 years according to NETL
- IPCC Released the Report in Jan 07
Shift from Fossil fuels to Eco-friendly NRE Due to the exhaustion of Fossil fuels
- Surface Temperature will increase by 6.4℃ at Maximum
→ leading to the rise of 59cm of the sea level
NRE
Nurturing the New Growth engine
Why renewables in Korea??
First, substitute energy sources are imminent in face of fossil fuel depletion. According to IEA, oil production will reach its peak in 2020.
Second, for Korea, being the 10th largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world, the obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is getting increasingly important.
Third, instability within energy market such as a high oil price, strikes as a factor of economic instability for a country like Korea with high dependency on energy imports.
Therefore a big change in energy paradigm is necessary; and this will be centered on new and renewable energy.
Technologies and industry related to new and renewable energy is expected to become new growth engine for our economy.
Increase of importance of Local Energy
Increasing Energy Market Instability
※ High oil price (’03-23$, ’04-34$, ‘05-45$, ’06-60$, ’07-91$)
Serious Competition of NRE techs
※ Market Prospect of next 10years : Hydrogen and Fuelcells -100bil, Wind -32bil, PV -70biil. 5

2003
Now, I will briefly talk about history of NRE policies.
In 1987, the Promotion Act for new and renewable energy develop was promulgated, making the legal basis of NRE technology development.
In 1997, the same act was amended to the Promotion Act for NRE development, utilization and deployment. This made the legal basis For NRE deployment.
In 2002, the act was revised to include public office obligation scheme, certification and feed in tariff.
In 2003, 10-year National Basic Plan for NRE Technology Development and Deployment was established with a five-percent deployment target.
In 2004, the act was once again revised to include facility standardization and RESCO.

11 types are included in the promotion Act for NRE
Now, I’d like to tell you about the categories of NRE in korea. According to the Promotion Act for NRE, there are eleven types of NRE, which are the following.
Solar thermal, Photovoltaic, Bio, Marine energy, Wind, Waste, Geothermal, hydro, fuel cell, hydrogen, and synthetic fuel from coal liquefaction/gasification.

8. NRE/Total Energy Consumption is 2.37% (2007)

The table and the chart you see is NRE consumption breakdown by energy sources.
-As energy sources, waste and hydro power accounted for the largest part of total NRE supply.
-Waste took up about 74.9%, hydro took up 16.4%, solar PV took up 0.3%.
-However, recently we have seen the rapid increase of the solar P.V deployment in Korea.

Hydro, wind, LFG, solar PV are playing major roles in NRE power generation.
Until late 90s, only minimal amount of power was generated from wind power and solar PV;
however, through government’s continuous endeavor and investment, power generation from wind power, LFG, solar PV is growing tremendously.

11. Future Prospect & Planning
The 3rd Basic Plan for NRE Technology development and deployment was established to set the medium-long term target for NRE
Achieve NRE deployment rate of 11% in 2030
Industrialize NRE as a green growth engine
It is expected that introduction of the advanced programs for increasing the uptake of NRE will boost NRE Market
Introduction of advanced programs such as RPS, Green-Pricing etc.
Lowering the market entry barrier through overhauling relevant laws
and measures
While maintaining a framework of current support system, it will consider implementing advanced systems, taking into account the market growth change
We will continue to increase deployment of NRE as a energy-scarce country.
It will first establish the 3rd NRE Basic Plan by revising and complementing the current 2nd plan and then it will expand NRE deployment through implementing RPS, Green-Pricing system. 11

12. Achieving 11% of NRE Deployment Rate
Deployment Expansion of NRE and Fostering It as a Growth Engine
Achieving 11% of NRE Deployment Rate
Fostering NRE as a National Growth Engine
Increase the nation’s NRE deployment rate to that of USA, Japan by 2030

With an aim for Korea to become a NRE-strong country, the government has set an ambitious NRE deployment target of 11% by 2030.
2030년까지 태양광, 풍력, 수소연료전지를 3대 중점 전략 분야로 집중 지원하여 관련 산업을 1,600억불 생산규모로 육성하고 80만명의 고용을 창출할 계획입니다.
In addition to setting the deployment target, the government has selected three prime strategic areas such as PVs, wind, and hydrogen & fuel cells.
The government plans to increase market volume in these areas to $160 billion by 2030 and create 800,000 employments. .
