Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find ways to achieve carbon neutrality in the oil refining industry and to determine its priorities. The Hierarchy scheme for carbon neutrality in the oil refining industry is composed of four major indicators and 12 sub-indicators through reviews of research and plans to achieve carbon neutrality in the domestic and overseas oil refining industry. A survey was conducted with 86 experts in related fields, and the results were analyzed using the AHP approach.BR The priorities for the four major indicators were ‘improvement of the management system’, ‘discovering new industries’, ‘building a foundation for carbon neutrality’ and ‘technology development’ in that order. In the sub-indicators ‘improvement of social acceptability was highest’ followed by ‘transparent monitoring and participation of stakeholders’ and ‘entering overseas carbon emission business’. Policy implications were presented through this analysis.BR It is necessary to achieve carbon neutrality in the oil refining industry, as it emits a lot of greenhouse gases, to achieve carbon neutrality in Korea. It is hoped that this study can be used as basic data to achieve carbon neutrality in the oil refining industry.
