ABSTRACT

The Korean government has implemented a greenhouse gas and energy target management system targeting large greenhouse gas emitters and energy consumers since 2012 and plans to introduce an emission trading scheme (ETS) from 2015. It is unclear how to deal with the existing greenhouse gas and energy target management system after the introduction of the ETS. This study utilizes grounded theory to analyze in-depth interviews with stakeholders and experts about the introduction of the ETS and the resultant policy mix. The interviews with diverse actors reveal a variety of opinions which differ both between and within groups. Nevertheless, there is a broad consensus on the introduction of incentives, provision of manuals, and simplification of reporting requirements for the improvement of the current greenhouse gas and energy target management systems, along with the maintenance of the greenhouse gas and energy target management system after the introduction of the ETS for companies emitting over 5,000 tonnes CO2eq. There is also support for connecting the ETS with the greenhouse gas and energy target management system. These results imply that it is necessary for the government to listen to more diverse voices and to promote social dialogue in order to improve policy compliance and effectiveness of implementation.
