Executive

Road Map/Vision

Passed in 2021

The presidential committee on carbon neutrality released in October 2021 two roadmaps. It consists of two scenarios in which the domestic net emissions reach to zero in 2050. In plan A, emissions are reduced as much as possible, such as cessation of thermal power generation, while in plan B, removal technologies such as CCS are used to compensate for the remaining of some thermal power capacity.
