What is GHG Target Management?

The object of this system is to designate and manage corporations that emit more than specific amount of GHG in order to achieve medium-term targets(40% reduction in GHG emissions in 2030 compared to 2018) according to Carbon Neutral Green Growth Framework Act for Response to Climate Crisis.

How to set target?

  • First, derive expected emissions amount of target year of each company considering the average emissions of three years right before designation year.
  • Then, set the emission allowance by applying the annual national reduction rate to the derived expected emission amout according to Carbon Neutral Green Growth Framework Act for Response to Climate Crisis.

GHG Target Management Process

1. Sectoral responsible organization Relevant ministries> Specify Controlled Entities (Jun.), Set Target (Sept.) 2. Company (public organization, individual, corporate) -> Performance report submission (Mar.2013) 3. Company (public organization, individual, corporate) -> Performance Plan submission (Dec.) 4. Sectoral responsible organization : Relevant ministries -> X Behind of Performance Plan, Performance report submission (Mar.2013) Ministry of Environment General Management Organization GIR Support for successful system implementation and the operation of national GHG Inventory System National GHG Inventory System Management of implementation progress and GHG information

Implementation System

  • Relevant ministries set the annual target with consideration of new, additional facilities and potential reduction(Bottom-up) after the target of each sector and category of business is set(Top-down)
  • Relevant ministries continuously evaluate implementation plans and reports to manage goals of GHG reduction
1st phase National Reduction Target 2nd phase Sectoral Reduction Target 3rd phase Type of business Reduction Target 4th phase Set pre-target for business 5th phase pre-target negotiation 6th phase Renegotiation (on demand) 7th phase final target set
