| Abstract |
Many countries have implemented policies for greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction since the 21st Conference of Parties (COP 21) to the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2015 where participants voluntarily agreed to a new climate regime, which
obligated the world to decrease GHG emissions. Subsequently, reducing GHG emissions with GHG reduction technologies (renewable energy)
to decrease energy consumption has become not a choice but a necessity. With the launch of the Korean Emissions Trading Scheme (K-ETS)
in 2015, Korea has certified and financed GHG reduction projects as decreased emissions. To help users to make informed decisions for
economic and environmental benefits from the use of renewable energy, an assessment model was developed. This study established the
simple assessment method and an assessment database (DB) of 1,200 GHG reduction technologies implemented in Korea. Furthermore, we
suggested how to evaluate economic benefits which the user may obtain from GHG reduction technologies and validated the assessment DB
applicability to a building in Korea. |
