About the Lab

Professor Ji-Yong Eom's research lab focuses on integrated assessment modeling and energy system analysis to address climate change mitigation and sustainable energy transitions, with a strong emphasis on long-term decarbonization pathways, power sector transformation, and the role of critical technologies such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) and negative emission technologies (NETs). The lab also explores the socio-technical dimensions of energy policy, including consumer behavior, demand-side management, and the impacts of climate change on food security and international trade. Additionally, the lab investigates advanced materials for energy applications, particularly silicon-based anodes reinforced with carbon nanotubes for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. The research integrates engineering, economics, and environmental science to support national and global climate policy goals, especially in the context of Korea’s 2050 carbon neutrality ambition.

This paper explores the implications of delays (to 2030) in implementing optimal policies for long-term transition pathways to limit climate forcing to 450 ppm CO2e on the basis of the AMPERE Work Package 2 model comparison study. The paper highlights the critical importance of the period 2030–2050 for ambitious mitigation strategies. In this period, the most rapid shift to low greenhouse gas emitting technology occurs. In the delayed response emission mitigation scenarios, an even faster transi

SJR Q1Energy and Climate ChangeOA

This integrated assessment modeling research analyzes what Korea's 2050 carbon neutrality would require for the national energy system and the role of the power sector concerning the availability of critical mitigation technologies. Our scenario-based assessment shows that Korea's current policy falls short of what the nation's carbon-neutrality ambition would require. Across all technology scenarios examined in this study, an extensive and rapid energy system transition is imperative, requiring

Preparation of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube/Silicon Composites and Their Lithium Storage Properties
Jiyong Eom, HyukSang Kwon
SJR Q1ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces

Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)/silicon composites were produced from the purified SWCNTs and Si powder by high-energy ball-milling and then electrochemically inserted with Li using Li/(SWCNT/Si) cells. The highest reversible capacity and lowest irreversible capacity of the SWCNT/Si composites were measured to be 1845 and 474 mAh g(-1) after ball-milling for 60 min, respectively. During the charge/discharge process, most of the Li ions were inserted into the SWCNT/Si composites by alloying

Factors Driving Consumer Involvement in Energy Consumption and Energy-Efficient Purchasing Behavior: Evidence from Korean Residential Buildings
Soyoung Yoo, Jiyong Eom, Ingoo Han
SJR Q1SustainabilityOA

The recent rapid transition in energy markets and technological advances in demand-side interventions has renewed attention on consumer behavior. A rich literature on potential factors affecting residential energy use or green technology adoption has highlighted the need to better understand the fundamental causes of consumer heterogeneity in buildings’ energy-related behavior. Unresolved questions such as which consumers are most likely to opt into demand-side management programs and what facto
