“…[16][17][18] Most notably, the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution in its 18th report 4 expressed the view that there would be environmental advantages in the use of natural gas, as opposed to diesel, in relatively large vehicles that make frequent stops in urban areas. UK Field trials and analysis have also identified numerous environmental and other advantages of NGVs.…”

Policy-makers and planners concerned with sustainable transport systems have continuously advocated the use of alternative fuel vehicles as a means of reducing road vehicle emissions. The environmental benefits of one such type of alternatively fuelled vehicle, natural gas vehicles (NGVs), are well-documented. Despite the much-proclaimed environmental benefits of NGVs however, there has been little take-up of these vehicles in the UK. A review of current policies towards these vehicles and the ways in which they are promoted may therefore be necessary to encourage their market penetration. A stated preference survey was conducted among freight transport operators throughout the UK, which revealed that economic factors, namely vehicle capital costs and (fuel) operating costs, and fuel availability were of most importance to operators when considering the purchase of a new vehicle. Consequently, policies that not only make NGVs financially competitive but in fact also give them a financial advantage over conventional vehicles, complemented by measures to increase the supply of fuel, may prove most effective in encouraging the adoption of these vehicles among UK road freight operators. Obviously, the operators must be aware of these improvements and, as such, these policies must also be supported by a vigorous promotional and awareness campaign.

“…Thus, experiencing tangible results in a short period is unlikely, as the new policy revealed critical problems during its implementation process. Energy experts raised concerns regarding the miscalculation of socio‐economic costs considering Korea's particularities (Cho, 2019, 2020), including the expansion of natural gas, which like coal does not fit into clean energy (Moon, 2019), and would weaken Korea's energy security (Lee, 2017). Moreover, as examined later, issues were raised, including: one‐off public debate, controversy over the fairness of the committees, realization of experts' concerns about the policy's side‐effects, aggravation of social conflicts over policy content, lack of sufficient transparent information, and the government's authenticity for participatory democracy.…”

Energy democratization policy without democratization of policy governance in South Korea: A participatory democracy perspective

Policy governance with citizen participation has gained much attention in the application of participatory democracy. Accordingly, what conditions are needed to conform to the idea of policy governance and contribute to policy effectiveness? This article answers this question by examining the energy policy of the South Korean Moon Jae‐in government. It argues that—in addition to the formation of policy governance—democratizing its operation based on the democratic principles of legitimacy and responsibility is required, and theoretically presents conditions to this end. It then examines the Moon government's energy policy process, featuring nuclear phase‐out and fostering renewable energy. The government‐formed energy policy governance was represented by public debate committees and policy projects that accompany citizen participation under the banner of participatory democracy. However, it does not consider the democratic principles that led to people questioning its authenticity and brought about serious policy problems that hindered the accomplishment of policy objectives.
