To facilitate the investment on renewable energy, 34 countries including South Korea have adopted Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard (RPS) that requires electricity providers to produce or purchase a certain percentage of their power from renewable sources such as wind, solar, biomass, or geothermal energy, as of 2019 (Kong et al., 2022; Kwon
The need to shift to renewable energy sources has never been more pressing. A conference in Seoul looked at the challenges and benefits of energy transition in the Republic of Korea.
Renewable heat. Renewables also have an important role in providing heat for buildings and industrial processes. To achieve decarbonisation and energy saving objectives, many countries are encouraging individual homes and buildings to shift from fossil fuel heating systems such as gas- or oil-fired boilers to systems like heat pumps which are much more efficient and can be
