Abstract

This study was carried out to estimate carbon emission using LCA and to establish LCI database of potato production system. Potato production system was categorized into the fall season potato and the spring season potato according to potato cropping type. The results of collecting data for establishing LCI D/B showed that input of fertilizer for fall season potato production was more than that for spring season potato production. Input of pesticide for spring season potato production was much more than that for fall season potato production. The value of field direct emission ($CO_2$, $CH_4$, $N_2O$) were 2.17E-02 kg $kg^{-1}$ for spring season potato and 2.47E-02 kg $kg^{-1}$ for fall season potato, respectively. The result of LCI analysis focussed on the greenhouse gas (GHG), it was observed that carbon footprint values were 8.38E-01 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ for spring season potato and 8.10E-01 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ for fall season potato; especially for 90% and 6% of $CO_2$ emission from fertilizer and potato production, respectively. $N_2O$ was emitted from the process of N fertilizer production (76%) and potato production (23%). It was observed that characterization of values of GWP were 8.38E-01 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ for spring season potato and 8.10E-01 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ for fall season potato.

작형별로 봄감자, 가을감자로 구분하고 전과정평가를 통하여 감자생산체계를 원단위탄소성적과 이를 위한 LCI database 구축하였다. LCI 구축을 위한 영농 투입물 산출물에 대한 데이터 수집결과 봄감자는 특히 농약투입이 가을감자에 비하여 매우 높은 값을 나타내었고, 가을감자는 무기질비료 투입이 봄감자보다 많았다. 포장에서의 직접대기배출 ($CO_2$, $CH_4$, $N_2O$)은 봄감자와 가을감자가 각각 2.17E-02 kg $kg^{-1}$ potato 2.47E-02kg $kg^{-1}$ potato였다. 원단위 탄소성적은 봄감자가 8.38E-01 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ potato고, 가을감자가 8.10E-01kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ potato였다. $CO_2$의 주요 발생요인은 비료생산공정이었고 (약 90%), 그 다음이 감자생산 (약6%)이었다. $N_2O$ 발생은 비료생산이 약 76%, 감자생산이 약 23%를 차지하였다. 평가 결과 봄감자의 GWP 특성화값은 8.38E-01 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$이고, 가을감자는 8.10E-01 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$였다.
