Abstract—Recent increase of greenhouse gas has been serious in recent years. The status and problems of coal-fired power plants in Korea and discussions about reducing greenhouse gases emitted from coal-fired thermal power plants were investigated. The policy of power plants that would replace coal-fired thermal power plants and reduce greenhouse gases were studied. The current status of CCS and the methods about our environmental policy to solve global warming problems in Korea were suggested.

Index Terms—Carbon dioxide, coal-fired power plants, carbon capture and storage.
