“…First, scenarios were set up such that the shares of solar PV and wind power generations increased to about 7% of the total power generation (labeled as SOL and WIN scenario, respectively, in Table 5 ). Here, 7% was set based on the solar PV and wind power generation targets in Korea’s “Renewable Energy 3020” plan [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Meanwhile, the increase in renewable energy sources is achieved through financial support from the government.…”

“…The Korean government announced the “Renewable Energy 3020” plan in 2017 to promote renewable energy. It sought to increase the share of renewable energy in power generation to 20% by 2030 [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. The plan included large-scale investments in solar photovoltaic (PV), wind power generation facilities, and related government support, which would add 30.8 GW (16.5 GW) of solar PV (wind) power generation capacity by 2030.…”

This study examines the effects of renewable energy expansion policy on the Korean economy and industries using the computable general equilibrium model, which divides the power generation sector into detailed generation technologies and sources. The scenarios are set to observe the cases where the share of solar photovoltaic and wind power generation reaches 7%. The effects are examined according to differing circumstances, such as when greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are regulated, and the funding source for renewable expansion varies. The results show that renewable expansion policies have negative effects on GDP. However, the magnitude of the GDP decline becomes smaller when GHG emissions are regulated. The expansion of renewable energy induces the growth of upstream industries which supply components for renewable generation modules. Regarding employment, the renewable expansion policy can increase the demand for labor. However, the direction and the extent of the effect vary depending on the funding source. When overlapping regulations, such as the emission trading scheme and renewable energy expansion policies, exist in the power generation sector, the renewable energy expansion policy could provide incentives for GHG emission-intensive power sources.

“…The economic impact is in the form of incentives that are needed for the public to accept RE plant projects. Finding the public's MWTA will be one of the goals of this study, differentiating it from other studies, which mainly focused on the public's marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) [6][7][8][9]. Several studies, such as that by Woo et al [4] and Botelho et al [10], also estimated the willingness to accept (WTA) for wind, solar, biomass, and hydropower power plants, but they used the contingent valuation method (CVM) for analysis.…”

Quantifying Public Preferences for Community-Based Renewable Energy Projects in South Korea

et al. 2020

Under the new climate regime, renewable energy (RE) has received particular attention for mitigating the discharge of greenhouse gas. According to the third energy master plan in South Korea, by 2040, 30–35% of the energy demand must met with RE sources. To ensure relevant policy design to achieve this goal, it is crucial to analyze the public’s willingness to accept community-based RE projects. This study conducted a nationwide survey to understand the opinion of the public and also that of local inhabitants living near a RE project. A choice experiment was employed to measure public preferences toward RE projects. The analysis reveals that the type of energy source, distance to a residential area, and annual percentage incentives could affect acceptance levels. Additionally, investment levels were a factor in local inhabitants’ acceptance of energy-related projects. This study presents the relevant policy implications in accordance with the analysis results.

“…The combustion of fossil fuels is largely responsible for the problems of climate change, air pollution and energy insecurity (Hanh and Kakinaka, 2019;Zerrahn et al, 2018). A combination of wind, water and solar energy is the best alternative to fossil fuels (Lewis, 2007), (ASTM G-173-03, 2002), because renewable sources of energy have almost zero emissions of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants (Kim et al, 2018), , no long-term waste disposal problems and no risk of catastrophic accidents (Delucchi and Jacobson, 2013;Bulut and Gonul, 2018;Harjanne and Korhonen, 2019;Zeng et al, 2019). Environmental and social problems related to energy use have motivated the development of sustainable energy technologies (Baruah and Enweremadu, 2019;Moorthy et al, 2019;Washburn and Romero, 2019), such as wind turbines, carbon capture and storage, and hydrogen vehicles.…”

This article presents a bibliometric analysis of trends and the research state on the main renewable energies based on information obtained from the SCIE/SSCI database for the period 2007-2017. The analysis is aimed at solar energy, geothermal energy, wind energy and biomass energy source. The results generated from the bibliometric techniques used allowed to obtain the behavior of the publications production and the influence that different countries and universities have on this subject. From the 10,363 publications, the 87.5% are journal articles and the 98% are in English language. In addition, 49.03% of the publications corresponded to solar energy, 33.83% to wind energy, 12.77% to biomass and 4.37% to geothermal energy. In the 10 years analyzed, the United States has been the most influential country in this research area, presenting the largest volume of publications in each of the renewable energies source studied. The results of this paper provide to energy researchers a relevant overview of the tendencies and scope of the main renewable energies worldwide. In addition, to support scientific decision and prospective investment in research center, relevant data are presented on the countries producing these renewable energies and their relationship with the production of publications.
