South Korea plans to significantly reduce the share of coal and liquefied natural gas in its power generation from 60% to 20% by 2038, while increasing renewable energy sources from 9% to 33%. The government aims for a 40% reduction in industrial emissions by 2030, but concerns about power supply stability for key industries persist, especially given recent setbacks in hydrogen and renewable projects. Although the approval of the Saeul-3 nuclear reactor offers some potential relief, it may not be enough to mitigate the impacts of reduced fossil fuel usage.
