According to the forecast, while economy-wide CO 2 emissions decrease from 2022 to 2037 due primarily to the growth in renewable energy replacing retiring coal plants, emissions do increase after 2037 from increased usage of natural gas. Renewable energy generation increases faster than any other technology.

In 2021, South Korea set a target under the Paris Agreement of a 40% cut from 2018 levels by 2030. Almost all the fossil fuels are imported, so this dependence on fossil fuels translates into a vulnerability to shifts in global markets such as the price surges stemming from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
