Clean Energy Transition: A Policy Implementation Analysis of the Korean New Deal

Abstract

COVID-19 has had a severe impact on many countries, especially in the economic sector which has experienced a significant decline. This situation prompted the South Korean government to take action in finding solutions to restore stability to the country. This article discusses the South Korean government's efforts in implementing the Korean New Deal (KND) program with a focus on the digital new deal, namely the development of hydrogen electric vehicles, promotion of renewable use and supporting a fair energy transition and building an efficient electricity grid. The research method used is qualitative, which is a type of research aimed at being able to investigate, find, describe, and explain a quality or virtue of the impact of social influences that cannot be described, described or described in a lift calculation or what is called a quantitative approach. The author is interested in taking research that discusses KND because there is also urgency in this topic because South Korea is one of the countries that is trying to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with focus number 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy). The final result in the form of common ground in this research is expected to make a good contribution in influencing the development of how the performance of the KND policy process provides development to several areas that have been targeted as well as a reference in future research on topics that still have continuity with this research.
