| Abstract | The future evolution of energy demand which was forecasted by MEDEE-ENV model and optimized by EFOM-ENV model would be increased with the average annual increase rate of 3.0% during 25 years period from 1995 to 2020 in the baseline case. Energy demand for commercial and transport sector would be increased with a relatively high level of annual increase rate among sectors. To meet the expanding energy demand, energy demand for electricity generation would be increased 4.3% annually during same period. The national Reference Energy System (RES) was designed with twelve numbers of sub sectors and all energy related activities and technologies were modeled in EFOM-KOREA modeling. As a optimized results from EFOM-ENV modeling, the future emission volume of C02, CH4, N20, NOx, SOx, CO, TSP and NMVOCs were forecasted. And, throughout the extended use of abatement scenario cases, the least cost mitigation options, and corresponding incremental costs were analyzed. Least cost emission reduction strategies were recommended as a result of this study. |
