Abstract

In this research, through LCA analysis, the environmental impact of automotive engine manufacturing and re-manufacturing was analyzed from the perspective of the entire process, and the greenhouse gas reduction effect was calculated based on this. The amount of greenhouse gas emitted from the process of acquiring and manufacturing raw materials for automotive engines is about 3,473 kg for new manufacturing and 872 kg for re-manufacturing. Thus, the amount of greenhouse gas reduction by engaging in re-manufacturing is about 2,601 kg; the analysis shows a reduction effect in each part of the entire process except for the processing stage. As a result of the LCA weighted analysis, the environmental impact of new product manufacturing was found to be 1.07E+03 Eco-point, and it was 2.67E+02 Eco-point for re-manufacturing. The share of GWP(Global Warming Potential) among the six major impact categories(Abiotic Depletion Potential, Acidification Potential, Eutrophication Potential, Global Warming Potential, Ozone-layer Depletion Potential, Photochemical Oxidant Creation Potential) as high at 99.72%(new manufacturing) and 99.68%(re-manufacturing).

본 연구에서는 자동차엔진의 신품제조시와 재제조시 발생하는 환경영향을 전과정 관점에서 산정하고 이를 기반으로 온실가스 저감효과를 산정하였다. 자동차엔진 원부자재 원료취득 및 제조공정에서 배출되는 온실가스량은 신품제조시 약 3,473 kg, 재제조시 약 872 kg으로 재제조를 통해 저감되는 온실가스량은 약 2,601kg으로 나타나 폐기 단계를 제외한 전과정 측면에서 저감효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. LCA 가중화 분석 결과 신품 제조시 환경영향은 1.07E+03 Eco-point, 재제조시 2.67E+02 Eco-point로 나타났으며, 주요 6대 영향 범주 중 지구온난화 점유비율이 99.72%, 99.68%로 높게 나타났다.
