Actively realizing a carbon neutral E-independent city
[투데이에너지 송명규 기자] From this year, Gwangju Metropolitan City will be promoting the Gwangju-type AI-Green New Deal to realize the ‘2045 Carbon Neutral Energy Independent City’ based on solar and hydrogen.
In August last year, the Gwangju Community declared a’climate crisis emergency’ and announced the’Gwangju-type AI-Green New Deal Comprehensive Plan’, followed by the public-private government, where the administration, parliament, industry, civil society organizations, and experts participate from policy establishment to implementation. It has formed governance. Accordingly, starting with the launch of the’Carbon Neutral City Promotion Committee’ in early February, the operation will begin in earnest.
This year, the AI-Green New Deal, which aims to achieve carbon neutrality and energy independence in 2045, is the three strategies of’creating a green transition city, climate-safe city, and green industrial city’, along with a separate private capital of KRW 347.7 billion for 62 projects. Is put into it.
As a first step, a mid- to long-term roadmap for realizing carbon-neutral energy independence in 2045 is established, GHG reduction targets for each stage and field are set, and the implementation status is checked annually. At the same time, the climate crisis response preliminary review system and performance management common indicators are operated to secure execution power.
In the field of green energy conversion, KRW 800 million (private capital of 400 million KRW) is invested in the’Citizen Sunlight Power Plant Installation Project,’ which creates a fund from an energy cooperative created by citizens, installs solar power generation facilities, and shares profits. 200 million won will be invested in the establishment of an energy conversion village base center to support energy conversion education and citizen-led citizen sunlight power generation activities.
In November of last year, the high-tech industrial complex designated as the’Green Energy ESS Power Regulatory Free Zone’ will invest 19.5 billion won from this year to promote a private-centered power transaction demonstration project.
In the building sector, KRW 16 billion was invested in 3,500 households in 47 places including national and public daycare centers, public health centers, and public medical facilities, and 3 permanent rental housing complexes 15 years after completion to improve energy performance and living environment. do.
In the field of transportation and transportation, KRW 44 billion was invested, starting with the first six hydrogen city buses introduced in December last year, and gradually expanded the introduction, and expanded the supply of eco-friendly vehicles by supporting the early scrapping of 7300 old diesel vehicles and the purchase of 1200 new electric vehicles. do. In order to establish a stable hydrogen supply base, Wolchul and Jangdeung charging stations will be additionally installed in addition to the Byeokjin-dong hydrogen charging station by investing 16 billion won, and a base-type hydrogen production base will be established by 2022.
In the field of green space and ecology, 14 places, including the Yeongsan River Grand Park, which have not been established, will be invested in fertilization of 35 billion won, and 9 private parks will invest 1.8 trillion won in private investment to begin purchasing land in earnest.
Jangnok Wetland, the first national wetland in the city center in Korea, provides a window for communication with environmental groups and residents to prepare ways to use valuable natural assets wisely.
In the field of resource recycling, we will develop a model that can spread the separate discharge of transparent PET bottles in apartment houses, which was implemented in December last year, to areas outside the apartment houses.
In addition, it will increase the recycling rate through the expansion of living resource recovery centers for each region that can stably handle disposable products whose emissions have increased due to the prolonged period of Corona 19.
In the industrial field, the clean air industry cluster, which provides the development of fine dust reduction technology and demonstration facilities in the industrial and transport sectors, invested KRW 16.6 billion in government expenditure to complete the detailed design and land purchase by the second half of the year, and develop core technologies for improving air quality in multi-use facilities and commercialize products The eco-friendly air industry demonstration complex that supports the project will invest 8.4 billion won to build equipment and build the center.
“2021 is the first year of the Green New Deal, in which Gwangju transforms from a high-carbon energy-dependent city into a citizen-led energy independence, a carbon-neutral, eco-friendly green city.” We will make it a neutral, pleasant and clean city.”
