trading scheme to tackle its growing GHG emissions. The decision
passed with 98% support and makes South Korean one of the few Asia
Pacific countries to put a price on carbon.
In January, South Korea's Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS)
regulation took effect. This law requires the country's major
utilities and IPPs to generate power using renewable sources of 2%
in 2012 and up to 10% by 2020. Utilities and several IPPs are in
the midst of discussing partnerships toward new sources of clean
energy.
