Südkorea: Milliardenschwere Initiative für Energiewende und Klimaschutz
Südkorea will mit rund 668 Milliarden Euro die Industrie klimafreundlicher machen und neue Wachstumsmärkte erschließen. Die Strategie ist wohl bis 2035 geplant.
Seoul is set to launch a billion-dollar investment program to accelerate the energy transition and reduce CO2 emissions in the economy. The South Korean government unveiled a strategy by Wednesday, covering a total budget of one billion won (approximately 668 billion euros) by 2035. President Lee Jae-myung called for the nation to leverage its innovation to become a leader in the global green economy, urging South Korea to move beyond following others and become architects and leaders of the green market.
Officials from the Ministry of Climate Change stated that the plan aims to address growing climate risks, alleviate concerns about energy security, and comply with stricter global CO2 regulations. Simultaneously, the efforts to achieve climate neutrality are expected to become a new engine for economic growth. By 2030, the government aims to achieve a capacity of 100 gigawatts in renewable energy.
By 2035, electric and hydrogen vehicles are projected to make up more than 70 percent of new vehicle sales. Support will be provided to sectors such as green steel, batteries, solar and wind energy, hydrogen, and small modular reactors (SMRs), also known as "mini nuclear power plants."
