Sulfur hexafloride($SF_6$) emission to atmosphere is lower than $CO_2$, but $SF_6$ GWP is 22,800 times lager than $CO_2$. In recent years as restriction of $non-CO_2$ gas has been greatly reinforced, development of environment-friendly technology with $SF_6$ removal is becoming to main issue. This study shows that $SF_6$ used insulator electrical equipment has emission characteristics during the each phase(maintenance, use, diposal), and analyzed $SF_6$ emission reduction technology related phase. The major technology applies maintenance and disposal step is that improvment of gas recovery rate($85{\rightarrow}99%$), manufacturing catalysts, internal inspection of circuit breaker using endoscopy. Using those technolgies can reduce $SF_6$ emission in atmosphere.

Diesel engines have important advantages over its gasoline counterpart including high thermal efficiency, high fuel economy and low emissions of CO, HC and $CO_2$. However, NOx reducing is more difficult on diesel engines because of the high $O_2$ concentration in the exhaust, marking general three way catalytic converter ineffective. Two method available technologies for continuous NOx reduction onboard diesel engines are Urea-SCR and LNT. The implementation of the Urea-SCR systems in design engines have made it possible for 2.5l and over engines to meet the tightened NOx emission standard of Euro-6. In this study, we investigate the characteristics of NOx reduction with respect to engine speed, load, types of catalyst and the $NH_3$/NOx ratio and present the conditions which maximize NOx reduction. Also we provide detailed experimental data on Urea-SCR which can be used for the preparation for standards beyond Euro-6.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate $CO_2$ reduction and the flexural performance of steel wire-integrated void deck plate slabs that were inserted in omega-shaped steel plates to reduce concrete and welded H-section beams. The void deck plate slab can secure the structure, not only reducing the weight of the building but it is also eco-friendly. Therefore, this study evaluated the flexural performance of the composite beam by conducting a monotonic loading test with the use of actuators. It quantitatively evaluated the $CO_2$ emission based on earlier studies. The main test parameters are the concrete thickness of upper slabs, and the interrupted width of the omega-shaped steel plate. The result of the test showed that the welded H-section beam applied steel wire-integrated void deck plate slabs that were inserted into the omega-shaped steel plate declined in flexural performance on the composite beam after reducing concrete volume. Likewise, it is effective in reducing $CO_2$.

This study mainly focuses on urban regeneration project as a countermeasure to resolve climate change issues by analyzing the carbon-reduction effect of Jeonju test-bed cases. First, an urban regeneration project is designed for city, Jeonju by analyzing its environmental problems and potential improvement. Then, carbon emission and reduction amounts are evaluated for different businesses and scenarios. Carbon emission sources are classified according to a standard suggested by IPCC, and the emissions are calculated by various standard methods. The result shows that carbon emission amount in Jeonju test-bed is 102,149 tCO2eq. The fact that 70% of the emission from energy sector originates from buildings implies that urban regeneration projects can concentrate on building portions to effectively reduce carbon emission. It is also projected carbon emission will decrease by 3,826tCo2eq in 2020 compared to 2011, reduction mainly based on overall population and industry shrinkage. When urban regeneration projects are applied to 5 urban sectors (urban environment, land use, green transportation, low carbon energy, and green buildings) total of 10,628tCO2eq is reduced and 4,857tCO2 (=15.47%) when only applied to the green building sector. Moreover, different carbon reduction scenarios are set up to meet each goal of different sectors. The result shows that scenario A, B, and C each has 5%, 11%, and 15% of carbon reduction, respectively. It is recommended to apply scenario B to achieve 11% reduction goal in a long term. Therefore, this research can be a valuable guideline for planning future urban regeneration projects and relative policies by analyzing the present urban issues and suggesting improvement directions.

In this study, to reduce CO₂ emission in the cement manufacturing process, we evaluated the limestone that is used as a raw material for cement, substituted with steel slag by the various substituted levels. Based on the chemical composition of each raw materials including limestone, and blast furnace slow cooling slag, converter slag, and KR slag as an alternative raw material, we simulated the optimal cement raw mixture by the substitution levels of limestone. Test results indicated that the steel slags contain a certain level of CaO that can be used as alternative decarbonated raw materials, and it has enough to partially reduce the amount of limestonem. And we estimated the maximum usable levels of each raw material. In particular, it was confirmed that by using a mixture of these raw materials rather than using them one by one, the effect of reducing limestone was increased and CO₂ emission from the cement manufacturing process could be reduced.

Recently energy consumption and $CO_2$ emission issue are important problem on international society. The present study has been conducted economic analysis considering economical value of $CO_2$ reduction effect. We analyze annual energy cost and annual $CO_2$ emission of the cogeneration system and gas boiler system in hotel. The first results shows that annual energy cost of cogeneration system (751,740,126 won) is more profitable than gas boiler system (801,128,408 won) by 6.2% (49,388,281 won). The second results shows that annual $CO_2$ emission of cogeneration system (3,297 ton) is less than gas boiler system (3,536 ton) by 6.8% (239 ton). The Economical value of $CO_2$ reduction effect is 4,773,898 won. The cost effect according to the reduction of $CO_2$ is corresponding to 9.7% of reduction cost for total energy cost. The result of this study means that $CO_2$ reduction effect is essential item in introduction and change of facility for economic analysis.

본 연구는 기후변화협약 대응을 위한 울산광역시 사례로 화학 산업의 온실가스 인벤토리 구축 및 공정진단을 통해 온실가스 배출 저감 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 기업체의 기후변화 대응에 대한 방향을 제시하였다. 울산지역은 산업단지 중심으로 석유화학, 자동차, 조선 등 에너지 다소비업체가 많으며, 이산화탄소 배출 저감을 체계적으로 실시 할 경우 국가적 차원에서 이산화탄소 배출량을 상당히 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단되어 10개 기업체 대상으로 본 연구를 실시하였다. 온실가스 배출량은 최종에너지를 기준으로 산정한 경우 2004년 58,533천 톤 $CO_2$이며, 동일 년도 전국 온실가스 배출량인 592,600천톤 $CO_2$의 약 10%를 차지한다. 향후 2013년부터 한국이 2차 의무감축대상국이 될 경우 1990년도 온실 가스 배출 대비 5.2%의 감축률을 부여 받는다는 가정으로 경제적 손실액을 추정한 결과, 울산시의 경제적 손실은 1조에 가까운 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 울산지역은 최종 에너지소비가 2004년도에 전국 대비 12.5%로 매년 상승하고, 특히 2004년 1인당 최종에너지 소비의 경우 전국 평균은 3.38TOE이며, 울산시는 19.05TOE로 약 6배로 상당히 높게 나타났다. 또한 에너지 소비는 전국적인 규모로 비교하여 볼 때 점진적으로 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있다. 2003년의 경우 전국에너지 소비의 12.3%를 점유 하였던 것이 2010년에는 239.18백만 TOE로써 전국에너지 사용량의 14%를 점유 할 것이며, 점차 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 산업부문에서 에너지 사용비율이 80%이상으로 전국대비 에너지사용량이 상대적으로 높은 울산지역에서는 산업부문에서 온실가스발생량이 상당히 높은 것으로 예상 된다. 10개 기업체 중 5개 기업체의 온실가스 배출량 산정 및 인벤토리 구축 결과 온실가스 배출량의 공정에 따른 직접배출이 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 에너지 및 온실가스 저감을 위해 올 해 약 온실가스저감 227,554만원 경제적 효과가 나타났다. 또한 온실가스 이산화탄소 50,740 Ton/yr 절감효과를 발생하였다.

The index of energy intensity(energy/GDP) has been a primary policy concern since it can clarify industry sectors which use energy intensively and generate $CO_2$ emission heavily. Although energy intensity index may be suitable for estimating $CO_2$ emission from an isolated industry sector, we need an index for induced $CO_2$ emission since industrial activities are interconnected in terms of input and output. By employing Environmental Input-Output Table 2000, this paper analyses the flow of energy demand and pollutants after first estimating an induced $CO_2$ emissions from various industrial sectors and economic activities. The paper reports higher induced $CO_2$ emissions from industry sectors with larger energy intensity since they produces goods or services retaining relatively considerable environmental load. Furthermore, it is shown that environmental load and $CO_2$ emissions in overall economy are likely increasing when the products of energy intensive industrial sector is used as inputs for less intensive sectors' production process. The result suggests we need consistent policy efforts to reduce energy intensity to lower $CO_2$ emissions.
