Abstract

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a mitigation technology essential in tackling global climate change. In Korea, many research projects are aimed to commercialize CCS business around 2020. Public acceptance can be a key factor to affect the successful proceeds of CCS near future. Therefore this paper provides a concise insight into the application of environmental impact assessment and risk assessment procedures to support the sustainable CCS projects. Futhermore, bottlenecks regarding the environmental impacts assessment and related domestic and foreign legislation are revised. Finally, suggestions to overcome these bottlenecks and recommendations for future research are made in conclusion.

이산화탄소 포집 및 저장기술(CCS)은 기후변화에 대응하는 효과적인 온실가스 저감기술로서 평가받고 있다. 국내에서는 이산화탄소 포집 및 해양지중저장사업이 2020년 실증화를 목표로 빠르게 진행되고 있다. 하지만 CCS 기술을 실제 환경에 적용하는 과정에서는 수송, 저장과정에서의 $CO_2$ 누출 문제나 영구적인 격리에 대한 불확실성 등의 환경 안전성 관리를 위한 제도적 기반은 마련되어있지 않은 실정이다. 이로 인하여 CCS 사업시행 과정에서 주민이나 이해당사자의 사업 거부 및 이로 인한 사업의 지연 등의 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 원활한 사업 진행에 필요한 사회적 수용성을 강화하기 위해서는 환경 안전성에 대한 국가 차원의 관리 체계 마련이 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 환경 안전성 관리 체계의 가장 기본적인 제도라 할 수 있는 환경영향평가와 환경위해성평가 등의 국내외 관련 제도 및 규정 등을 살펴보고, 선진국에서 수행되고 있는 CCS 사업에 대한 환경영향평가기술과 사례를 조사하여, 국내의 제도개선 방향과 기술개발 및 관리방안에 대해 제안하고자 하였다.
