Abstract

This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of South Korea's climate change initiative in reducing greenhouse gases in home heating sector. The conclusions of the research are: (1) it is recommended to set targets for efficient energy consumption and reduction of energy use in the country's home energy sector. (2) If the energy source unit in 2020 can be cut down to the level of 2000, the total greenhouse gas emission can be slashed down to a 57% level of what is originally projected. (3) Greenhouse gas emission coefficient per different use of energy source was proposed.
