Haneul friend: Kim keong soo from Incheon to Colombia

 

 Nevada del Ruiz is an active volcano located in Colombia. Nevada del Ruiz is a stratified active volcano, with glaciers on top of 5300 m above sea level. And steam is coming out of the crater. The volcano is located in the Andes Mountains in the ring of fire. In 1985, there was a big eruption, which was when volcanic mudflows broke out and caused great damage. Also, it is a popular spot for volcanic tourism in Colombia. I understand that the volcano Nelvado del Luiz caused a lot of damage. What are the benefits of the volcano Nelvado del Luiz to humanity and ecosystems?

Colombia is a country that boasts abundant natural resources and biodiversity, and is deeply aware of the importance of environmental protection and sustainable development. Colombia's environmental policy aims to protect these natural characteristics while achieving a balance of pursuing economic development and social welfare. First, Colombia has established a legal framework for environmental protection. In 1993, the Environmental Law was enacted, which became an important basis for clarifying the country's environmental responsibility and ensuring the protection of ecosystems and the sustainability of natural resources. The law includes regulations that protect various environmental aspects, such as air, water quality, soil, and biodiversity, and has contributed to setting up organizations and systems to respond to environmental issues at the national level. The fight against climate change is also one of Colombia's major environmental policies. Colombia has experienced extreme weather events caused by climate change, such as changes in rainfall and damage from natural disasters such as floods. In response, Colombia has established policies on climate change nationwide and has various programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, efforts are being made to promote the development of renewable energy and, in particular, to revitalize hydroelectric power and solar power. In July 2021, the Energy Conversion Act was also enacted. The law recognizes green-blue hydrogen as a non-traditional energy source. It encourages the use of next-generation technologies, such as regional power generation. In addition, when investing in renewable energy-related fields, income tax is reduced by 50% for 15 years and VAT exemption for goods and services is implemented. It contains the content of strengthening various incentives, such as tariff-free benefits, when importing related parts and equipment. In 2022, the 'FENOGE' under Colombia's Ministry of Mining and Energy held a public offering for green hydrogen development research projects. As many as 57 public offerings for hydrogen industry promotion projects were received as part of achieving the hydrogen roadmap. Hydrogen accounted for 60%, transportation 12%, and other hydrogen utilization technology-related projects 28%. The Colombian government had proposed a goal of distributing at least 1,500 to 2,000 hydrogen light vehicles and 1,000 to 1,500 heavy vehicles by 2030. EcoPetrol Chairman Felipe Bayon announced that the hydrogen vehicle mobility test, which is jointly conducted with Toyota Motor, is part of its low-carbon hydrogen strategic plan to achieve the 2050 zero carbon emissions goal and that it will expand its scope to Bogota through the establishment of a sustainable transportation system and green hydrogen production using methane gas. Dino Tanaka, head of Toyota Motor Corp.'s Columbia division, said the hydrogen vehicle mobility cooperation project was made possible by the Colombian government's active support as it is the first in Latin America. Which of Colombia's ongoing environmental policies do you think attracts the most attention?
