  abstract = {<p>With South Korea’s electricity demand expected to grow 30% by 2035, transitioning to clean energy<br />resources will be critical in reducing the electric sector emissions and achieving national climate goals.<br />Rapid technological improvements can help keep costs low and maintain grid reliability, if Korea’s<br />government takes a coordinated approach to the clean energy transition. This policy brief identifies<br />key barriers to Korea’s shift toward clean energy, based on the authors’ companion report (A Clean<br />Energy Korea by 2035: Transitioning to 80% Carbon-Free Electricity Generation ), interviews with<br />experts, and the most recent data and literature. It then explores policy solutions for overcoming these<br />technological, economic, and institutional barriers, and suggests market transformation strategies to<br />speed the adoption of clean energy technologies. Amid ongoing cost and technological improvements<br />in wind, solar, and energy storage, advancing this report’s recommended policy actions with maximum<br />coordination among government officials can meaningfully accelerate Korea’s clean energy transition.</p>},
