[한국분양정보] The Ministry of Environment announced on February 18 that it had proposed and discussed the ‘2021 Pollution-Free Vehicle Dissemination Innovation Plan’ at the 122nd State-Action Coordination and Inspection Meeting held presided by Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun.
This plan aims to supply 300,000 pollution-free vehicles within this year in order to accelerate the popularization of pollution-free vehicles and carbon neutrality in the transportation sector.
In order to achieve the goal, the company plans to select and actively promote four areas, including preparation for transition to implement carbon neutrality, creation of public and private demand, reorganization of subsidies, and enhancement of recharge.
First, a step-by-step implementation plan for carbon neutrality in the transport sector is prepared.
The Ministry of Environment is planning to increase the 2030 national GHG reduction targets to ensure a smooth implementation of carbon neutrality, while drawing out a 2050 carbon neutral scenario and step-by-step strategy within the year.
Second, expand the supply base by strengthening the low-emission vehicle supply target system.
In order for automobile manufacturers and sellers to supply more electric and hydrogen vehicles, the goal of supplying low-emission vehicles will be increased and a new goal of supplying zero-emission vehicles will be established.
In addition, he said it plans to revise the sub-laws of the’Atmospheric Environment Conservation Act’ by imposing contributions to companies that have not achieved the distribution goal to improve the effectiveness of the system and preparing specific measures such as carrying over and trading performance.
Third, expand the supply of pollution-free commercial vehicles with high environmental improvement effects.
It provides additional benefits to non-polluting commercial vehicles such as electric taxis, which have a higher mileage compared to general passenger cars, and has a high environmental improvement effect, and supports the installation of quick chargers at garages and shifts.
In addition, while expanding the supply of pollution-free commercial vehicles in the freight car and bus sector, subsidies will be established in stages in connection with the development period for each vehicle type.
First, we lead the conversion of pollution-free vehicles by strengthening mandatory purchases in the public sector.
From this year, more than 80% of new vehicles from administrative and public institutions are to be purchased and rented as pollution-free vehicles, and the ratio will be increased to 100% from 2023.
In addition, it said that the company plans to enhance its implementation power by encouraging the prioritization of the public sector’s agency head’s business vehicles, while publicizing the performance of the public sector and imposing a fine for failure.
In particular, the Ministry of Environment said that, as the government responsible for the supply of pollution-free vehicles, it has recently replaced the vehicles of the heads of affiliates and agencies with electric and hydrogen vehicles, and plans to purchase and lease new vehicles this year as 100% pollution-free vehicles.
Second, it induces the conversion of the private sector through’Korea-type pollution-free vehicle conversion 100′.
When a private company converts to a pollution-free vehicle through the promotion of the’Korean-type pollution-free vehicle conversion 100′, priority support will be given to purchase subsidies and the installation of charging facilities.
It is expected that companies participating in the’Korean-style Pollution-Free Vehicle Conversion 100′, such as rental, distribution, and manufacturing, will not only convert pollution-free vehicles, but also faithfully implement chargers in the workplace, thereby contributing greatly to the expansion of the supply of electric and hydrogen vehicles.
First, expand support for high-performance and high-efficiency pollution-free vehicles.
In order to promote the development of high-performance pollution-free vehicles, the proportion of fuel consumption is increased when calculating subsidies, and high energy efficiency benefits are given to vehicles with excellent low-temperature mileage compared to room temperature.
Second, strengthen the foundation for popularization of pollution-free vehicles.
In order to induce a reduction in the price of pollution-free vehicles and to foster popular popular vehicles, the standard of subsidy support is differentiated by price section, and a minimum self-payment is set for electric buses and electric motorcycles to prevent market disruption caused by low-cost vehicles.
First, create a more convenient electric vehicle fast charging environment than gas stations.
With big data analysis, a rapid charging environment for electric vehicles will be created at the level of gas stations by installing more than 2,800 and 123 super-fast stations at mobile stations such as highway gas stations with high demand for charging.
In order to convert the public-centered rapid charging market to the private initiative, a phased conversion plan will be prepared within the first half of the year, and a pilot project of a large-scale complex facility, a new type of private investment type, will also be promoted.
Second, the slow electric chargers are concentrated in the center of the people’s living base.
In consideration of parking conditions and usage environments near people’s lives such as residences and workplaces, more than 30,000 customized chargers such as streetlights and outlets will be expanded.
All available charging information, such as charger usage status and charges, is linked to the Ministry of Environment’s low-emission vehicle integrated nuri house, and public charging information is also disclosed to increase the convenience of charging for the public.
In addition, it plans to improve the management of the charger subsidiary business by creating a mandatory operating period while reinforcing standards such as qualifications, manpower, and operating capabilities to strengthen the capabilities of charger operators.
Third, accelerate the construction of hydrogen charging stations through close support for each stage.
A nationwide deployment plan will be established in consideration of the forecast of demand for hydrogen vehicles and traffic volume, while more than 50 hydrogen charging stations will be concentrated in the metropolitan area, where charging stations are insufficient compared to vehicles, by this year.
In order to excavate multifaceted sites, the green belt and urban parks will be improved on site regulations, while a temporary licensing agenda is applied to resolve the delay in licensing.
In addition, it provides close support in stages from construction to operation, such as supporting the cost of purchasing fuel for business operators.
Environment Minister Han Jeong-ae said, “The Ministry of Environment will work with relevant ministries to make 2021 a year to solidify the foundation for the popularization of pollution-free vehicles and the realization of carbon neutrality.”
The Ministry of Environment said that it plans to announce the dissemination and innovation plan within March after consultation with related organizations based on the discussions at the State-Pending Adjustment and Inspection Meeting.
