G HG Emission, Energy Consumptions Oil Consumption Rate by Sectors

More than 90% of GHG Emitted by Transportation and
Buildings
Transportation occupies 2/3 of Oil Consumption
- Energy inefficient Transportation Structure
＊ More than half of fuel consumed by passenger cars


2. Goals of GHG and Energy Reduction

S eoul Eco and Energy Declaration

GHG reduction 25% by 2020, 35% by 2030 (Standard year 1990)
Energy Saving 15% by 2020, 20% by 2030 (Standard year 2000)
New Renewable Energy Use 10% by 2020, 15% by 2030
