주요국의 탄소중립과 그린성장전략에 관한 연구: EU, 미국, 중국, 일본을 중심으로(Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth Strategies EU, U.S, China, and Japan)

본 연구는 EU, 미국, 중국, 일본 등 세계 주요국 및 주요 지역의 그린성장전략을 개관하고, 핵심정책이라 할 수 있는 에너지전환(재생에너지·차세대 원자력 및 수소에너지), 녹색금융, 탄소가격제에 대한 주요국의 정책 및 제도 운용을 분석하였다. 분석결과를 바탕으로 에너지전환과 녹색금융, 탄소가격제 등 주요국과의 분야별 협력방향과 더불어 우리나라의 제도 운용 개선방향을 제시하였다. This research analyzes the green growth strategies in major countries and regions including the EU, the US, China, and Japan with a focus on key policies such as energy transition(renewable energy, next-generation nuclear power, and hydrogen energy), green finance, and carbon pricing. This study begins by providing an overview of the major policy areas of green growth strategy in each major countries/region. Chapter 2, titled, “Green Growth Strategies in Major Countries: A General Overview” covers this topic. In Chapter 3, titled “Energy Transition (1): Renewable Energy and Next-generation Nuclear Power,” examines renewable energy policies and the development of next-generation nuclear technology in major countries. It discusses topics such as the European Commission’s Renewable Energy Directive(RED), Japan’s introduction of the Feed-in Premium(FIP) system through the revision of the Renewable Energy Special Measures Act (April 2022), major renewable energy policies and the state and local government-led renewable energy storage projects in the US, and the operation of the Feed-in-Tariff(FIT) system in China. The research also explores the technology and policies of the next generation nuclear energy, with a focus on the development of Small Modular Reactors(SMR). Chapter 4, titled “Energy Transition (2): Hydrogen Energy,” delves into the hydrogen strategies of the EU, Germany, Japan, and China. It provides an overview of the hydrogen demonstration project known as “Mission Innovation(MI),” a group composed of government agencies from 22 major countries. The research also analyzes major countries’ international competitiveness in hydrogen technology by classifying hydrogen technologies into four types(gray hydrogen, blue hydrogen, turquoise hydrogen, and green hydrogen) and comparing the dependency and technological influence of each hydrogen technology based on a newly constructed index of backward and forward citations for patents from each country and institution.(the rest omitted)
