Coal, a relatively low-cost fuel that produces significant amounts of pollutants, supplies 18.7% of the Korean economy's energy needs. The total amount of coal consumed in 1995 was 43.6 million tons, and the demand is forecast to increase 3.5% annually by 2010. Of the 43.6 million tons, only 5.5 million tons are domestic anthracite; the rest is imported bituminous coal. The three major industrial sectors that utilize imported coal are electricity generation, iron and steel manufacturing, and the cement industry.
Until recently, the Korean government regulated flue-gas contaminants based on the concentration of the pollutants rather than the tatal amount of contaminants released. Since this was considered to be environmentally irresponsible, the new Atmospheric Environmental Conservation Policy was enacted on 1 January 1997. Environmental taxes are now being levied based on both the amount of air pollutants within the emission limit and the amount of pollutants higher than the limit.
This paper describes the status of and prospects for coal demand in the Korean economy, the government's air pollution policy, and the Korea Electric Power Corporation's (KEPCO's) plans to meet the growing power demand, as well as ongoing R&D efforts by the government and KEPCO to develop technologies to meet the ever-stringent environmental regulations of the 21st century.
