Gochang-gun 'Carbon Point System Incentive' Payment

[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeonbuk Gochang-gun (Governor Yu Gisang) announced on the 24th that it will provide a total of 29 million KRW in 'Carbon Point System Incentives' to 1,323 households that contributed to greenhouse gas reduction by saving energy in the second half of last year.

The Carbon Point System is a representative citizen participation program for greenhouse gas reduction projects.

Households that reduce their electricity, water, and gas usage by more than 5% compared to the past two years' usage are given an annual incentive of up to 100,000 KRW (deposited into accounts or as Green Card points).

In the second half of last year, the energy savings of households participating in the county's Carbon Point System amounted to 1,692,577 kWh.

This corresponds to a reduction of 717 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to the effect of planting approximately 108,700 30-year-old pine trees.

A county official said, "We thank the citizens who have contributed to reducing greenhouse gases by participating in the Carbon Point System," and added, "Furthermore, for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, practicing green living at home is most important, so we hope more citizens will join the Carbon Point System."
