[EE4] 2ND Korea-EU Technology Cooperation on Carbon Neutrality and Sustainable Regional Innovation
- Junbeum Kim (University of Technology of Troyes)
Description
After the first Korea-EU Technology Cooperation on Carbon Neutrality and Regional Innovation forum in EKC2022, we propose the second forum in EKC2023. Climate change is emerged as a transnational and transregional issue. Many countries, including Korea and EU, are making all-out efforts to cope with the rapidly changing climate by declaring carbon neutrality after the Paris Climate Agreement. The session will discuss pathways to sustainability to innovate science and technology and cooperate effectively to respond to climate change between Korean and European researchers. The main topics will focus on carbon neutrality that Korea and Europe must achieve, discussing technology policies and joint R&D topics, and exploring ways to cooperate between the two regions. . As a result, it is expected that this session will not only share carbon-neutral innovation policies in Korea and Europe, but also discover the demand for joint research in the near future.
EE6 - introduction
Here, K also means 'Korea' and 'knowledge'. The key content is about the strategic framework and implementation plans for the transfer and commercialization of public climate technology in the Republic of Korea. Korea is a representative country that has grown through science and technology. In particular, it was largely influenced by national and public research and development (R&D) in...
Climate change is already affecting the world, with extreme weather conditions such as drought, heat waves, heavy rain, floods, and landslides becoming more frequent, including in Europe. Other consequences of the rapidly changing climate include rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and biodiversity loss. Therefore, many countries set themselves up for carbon neutrality by 2050. Carbon...
Following the publication of the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report, it is recommended that future mitigation and adaptation reports to the UNFCCC and IPCC should be based on regional assessments using 'socio-economic scenarios'. In this regard, various Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) are being developed, and the Integrated Assessment Model Consortium (IAMC) has been established to collaborate...
Renewable energy and hydrogen energy are increasingly being utilized to address climate change. To utilize hydrogen energy, applications such as fuel cell-based mobility and power generation need to be expanded. Hydrogen electric vehicles, a representative application of fuel cells, were commercialized by Hyundai and Toyota in 2013 and 2014, but they are facing difficulties in expanding the...
Private climate financing play a pivotal role as emerging markets and developed economies seek to curb greenhouse gas emissions and contain climate change while coping with its effects.
Boosting private climate financing quickly is essential, Key solutions include adequate pricing of climate risks, innovative financing instruments, broadening the investor base, expanding the involvement of...
This paper introduces a novel agrivoltaic system designed to maximize crop yield. The proposed solution integrates two main components: a predictive model and an adaptive structure. The predictive model, built on algorithms, can forecast solar power generation and crop yield based on historical and real-time data inputs such as solar radiation, temperature, and crop-specific parameters. This...
In this paper, we aim to analyze how digital technologies can contribute to achieving carbon neutrality goals. We explore the ways in which digital technologies such as energy management systems, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and green computing can enable carbon emissions reduction and sustainable practices.
The paper begins with an introduction,...
Domestic forests play an essential role in carbon absorption during carbon neutrality. Accordingly, projects to increase carbon absorption are continuously growing through managing and creating forests, preventing forest conversion, and recycling of woody biomass. Until now, forest carbon absorption has been measured and managed at the national level, but local governments have not approached...
As for the certification of agricultural products, the quality of agricultural products is guaranteed through various certifications according to the situation of each country around the world. However, it is not well known about the growth environment (e.g., weather, soil condition, fertilizer use etc.) and the expected quality for the entire cycle of the cultivation environment. In this...
The world is currently facing a lot of climate disasters, including droughts, floods, heavy rainfall, and heavy snowfall, because of climate change. In response, detailed implementation rules are being established and enforced by parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Republic of Korea, as a party to the UNFCCC,...
