Zero Emission Transport Examples
Hydrogen-fueled public transport: Increasing the use of zero-emission vehicles in intercity transport.
The South Korean government aims to convert buses used in intercity transport to hydrogen-fueled models. Hydrogen buses are considered zero-emission transport vehicles because they emit no harmful gases from the exhaust.
As of 2024, 1,185 hydrogen buses have entered service in the country, and the target is to increase this number to 21,200 by 2030.
Hydrogen bus implementations contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from intercity transport.
Electric and hydrogen vehicle policy: Reducing the use of fossil-fueled vehicles.
South Korea is implementing a comprehensive Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) policy to expand the adoption of zero-emission vehicles in the transport sector. Under this policy, government incentives are provided for electric and hydrogen vehicles, charging infrastructure is being expanded, and zero-emission vehicle production targets are being raised.
The government has also set transformation targets to reduce the use of internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035.
The widespread adoption of electric and hydrogen vehicles supports the reduction of carbon emissions from the transport sector.
Long-term transport strategy: Achieving carbon neutrality in the transport sector by 2050.
Within the framework of its 2050 carbon-neutral target, South Korea has identified the widespread adoption of electric and hydrogen-fueled vehicles in the transport sector as a core strategy.
The transport sector accounts for approximately 15% of the country's total greenhouse gas emissions, and for this reason the transition to electric and hydrogen vehicles is seen as one of the most important solutions.
Electrification and hydrogen technologies are used as fundamental tools in South Korea's net-zero transport target.
