본 논문은 로그 평균을 가중치로 이용한 디비지아 기법(LMWDM)을 이용하여 한국과 미국 그리고 영국의 제조업 분야에 있어서 $CO_2$ 배출량의 변동에 대한 요인분해를 하고 이 결과를 분석하여 그 정책적 의미를 제시하고자 하였다. 이들 국가의 제조업에서 배출하는 $CO_2$량의 변화를 생산량의 변화, 구조적 변화, 그리고 기술적 변화라는 요인들로 분해하여 각각의 값을 비교하고 분석한 내용을 기록하였다. 분석결과는 크게 세 가지로 나누어 볼 수 있는데, 그 첫 번째는 한국제조업의 총 $CO_2$ 배출량은 대상기간 동안에 꾸준히 증가해 오고 있는 반면에 미국이나 영국의 제조업분야에서의 $CO_2$ 배출량은 감소해 오거나 적정한 배출량 관리를 유지해 오고 있다는 것이다. 두 번째로는, 비교 대상국인 미국이나 영국에 비해 한국의 제조업에서의 $CO_2$ 배출량 감소에 대한 기술적 요인의 기여도가 상대적으로 너무 작다는 것이다. 더욱이 미극이나 영국에서는 기술적 요인이 주효하여 $CO_2$ 배출량을 줄이는 데에 크게 기여하였지만, 한국상황은 기술적 요인이 $CO_2$ 배출량을 저감하는 요인이 적었을 뿐 아니라 근년에는 오히려 배출량을 증가시키는 요인으로 작용하기도 하였다. 마지막으로는 앞의 두 가지 해석에 바탕을 두고 있는 것으로, 분석 대상 기간 동안의 한국의 $CO_2$ 배출량의 증가는 $CO_2$ 배출의 저감을 위한 기술진보가 미미하였기 때문이거나 제조업의 각 업종내의 세분류별 구조의 변동이 $CO_2$ 배출량을 증가시키는 방향으로 전환이 상당히 일어났기 때문으로 보인다. 이에 대한 정책적 제안은 명백하다. 우리나라에서 $CO_2$ 발생량을 저감하기 위한 노력이 전 산업에 걸쳐 이루어져야 할 것이고, 특히 저감기술 발전을 위한 투자와 에너지 저소비 산업으로의 구조변동을 유도하는 정책이 필요하다고 하겠다.

Rising concern about climate change has evoked interest in the potential for urban vegetation to help reduce the level of atmospheric CO\sub 2\, a major heat-trapping gas. This study quantified the functio of home energy savings and carbon emission reduction by shading, evapotranspiration and windspeed reduction of urban vegetatioin in Chuncheon. Tree and shrub cover averaged approximately 13% in residential land. The effects of shading, evapotranspiration and windspeed reduction annually saved heating energy by 2.2% and cooling energy by 8.8%. The heating and cooling energy savings reduced carbon emissions by 3.0% annually. These avoided emissions equaled the amount of carbon emitted annually from fossil fuel consumption by a population of about 1,230. Carbon emission reduction per residential building was 55kg for detached buildings and 872 kg for multifamily buildings. Urban vegetation annually decreased heating and cooling energy cost by ￦1.1 billions, which were equivalent to annual savings of ￦10,000 savings and carbon emission reduction due to tree plantings in the wrong locations, while windspeed reduction had a great effect. Plantings fo large trees close to the west and east wall of buildings, full tree plantings on the north, and avoidance of shade-tree plantings or selection of solar-friendlytrees on the south were recommended to improve the function of building energy savings and carbon emission reduction by urban vegetation.

The Korean government decided to reduce 30% of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions BAU in 2020. Since many efforts to reduce emissions are urgently needed in Korea, the central administrative organization urges local governments to establish their own reduction schemes. Among many GHG emission categories, the emission from mobile source in Gyeonggi Province accounted for 25.3% of total emissions in 2007 and further the emission from road transport sector occupied the most dominant portion in this transportation category. The objective of this study was to compare 3 types of GHG emissions from road transport sector in 31 local cities/counties of Gyeonggi Province, which have been estimated by Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 methodologies. As results, the GHG emission rates by the Tier 1 and Tier 2 were $19,991kt-CO_2\;Eq/yr$ and $18,511kt-CO_2\;Eq/yr$, respectively. On the other hand, the emission rate by Tier 3 excluding a branch road emission portion was $18,051kt-CO_2\;Eq/yr$. In addition, the total emission rate including all the main and branch road portions in Gyeonggi Province was $24,152kt-CO_2\;Eq/yr$, which was estimated by a new Tier 3 methodology. Based on this study, we could conclude that Tier 3 is a reasonable methodology than Tier 1 or Tier 2. However, more accurate and less uncertain methodology must be developed by expanding traffic survey areas and adopting a suitable model for traffic volumes.

탄소 중립 사회로의 전환을 위해 전체 온실가스 배출량의 86.8%를 차지하는 에너지 생산 부문에서의 이산화탄소 배출량 감축이 필요하다. 현재 우리나라는 총 발전량의 60%를 석탄과 천연가스에 의존하고 있으며 이를 풍력, 태양광 등의 재생에너지로 대체하는 방법은 에너지 수급이 불안정하고 비용이 높다는 단점이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 기존에 사용되고 있는 NGCC(Natural Gas Combined Cycle) 공정을 기반으로 천연가스, 암모니아, 수소를 혼합하여 연소한다는 해결책을 제시하였다. 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, 이산화탄소 배출량을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있었으며 천연가스만을 연료로 이용해 얻은 전력량과 비교하였을 때 34%~238%의 전력을 얻었다. 천연가스, 암모니아, 수소의 질량분율에 대한 사례연구를 수행한 결과, 암모니아 비율이 증가할수록 발전량과 NO_x 배출량은 감소하였고 수소비율이 증가할수록 발전량과 NO_x 배출량은 증가하였다. 본 연구는 추후 다양한 혼합 연료의 조합 및 경제성 평가 등 혼합 연료 발전 분야의 가이드라인이 될 수 있을 것이다.

The Earth's temperature has risen $0.76^{\circ}C$ (degree) during last 100 years which Implies a sudden rise, compare with the 4oC (degrees) rise through out the past 20,000 years. If the volume of GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emission continues at the current level, the average temperature of the Earth will rise by $1^{\circ}C$ (degree) by 2030 with the further implication that the temperature of Earth will rise by $2{\sim}5^{\circ}C$ (degrees) every 100 years. Therefore, as we are aware that the temperature of the glacial epoch was $8{\sim}9^{\circ}C$ (degrees) lower than the present time, we can easily predict that the above temperature rises can be potentially disastrous for human life. Every country in the world recognizes theseriousness of the current climate change and adopted a convention on climate change in June 1992 in Rio. The COP1 was held in March 1995 in Berlin and the COP3 in Dec. 1997 in Kyotowhere the target (2008-2012) was determined and the advanced nations' reduction target (5.2%, average)was also agreed at this conference. Korea participated in the GHG reduction plan which required the world's nations to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. Ratification of the Kyotoprotocol and the followup requirement to introduce an international emissions trading scheme will require severe reductions in GHGs and considerable economic consequences. USA are still refusing to fully ratify the treaty as the emission reductions could severely damage the economies of these countries. In order to estimate the exact $CO_2$ emission, this study statistically analyzed $CO_2$ emission of each country based on the following variables : level of economic power and scientific development, the industrial system, productivity and energy efficiency.

일반적으로 연소로는 연료의 연소과정에서 NOx, CO등의 공해물질을 배출한다. 본 연구는 소각연소로를 대상으로 2차 공기를 연소가스 흐름의 역방향으로 주입시키는 방법의 NOx 및 CO 배출특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 연구의 주요변수는 1, 2차 공기의 유량비와 2차 공기의 투입 방향으로 설정하였다. 변수에 따른 NOx 및 CO 배출특성을 묘사하기 위해서 축소모형실험 연구를 수행하였다. 실험결과 1차 공기유량이 감소하고 2차 공기유량이 증가할수록 NOx가 감소되다가 일정 유량비 이상에서 다시 NOx가 다소 증가하는 형태가 나타났다. 역방향으로 빠른 유속의 2차 공기가 투입될 때 연소로 내부에 유동 재순환이 발생하여 혼합이 증가하고 이로 인해서 온도 영역이 고르게 분포되는 것으로 나타났으며 그 결과로서 thermal NOx의 저감 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. CO는 2차 공기가 역방향에서 높은 비율로 투입되는 조건이외에서는 측정되지 않았다. 측정된 경우도 CO의 농도는 2 ppm 이내로 안정적인 연소 조건으로 나타났다.

According to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), many countries around the world have been concerned with reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Reducing the level of building energy consumption is particularly important in bringing GHG down. Because of this, many countries including the US and the EU are enforcing energy-related policies. However, these policies are focused on management of single types of buildings such as public buildings and office buildings, instead of management on a national level. Thus, although various policies have been enforced in many countries, $CO_2$ management on a national level is still not an area of focus. Therefore, this study proposed a community-based $CO_2$ management process that allows government-led GHG management. The minimum unit of the community in this study is a plot, and the process consists of three steps. First, the current condition of the GHG emission was identified by plot. Second, based on the identified results, the GHG emission reduction target was distributed per plot by reflecting the weighted value according to (i) the target $CO_2$ reduction in the buildings in the standard year, (ii) region, and (iii) building usage and size. Finally, to achieve the allocated target reduction, building energy management was executed according to the properties of the building located on each plot. It can be expected that the proposed community-based $CO_2$ management process will enable government-level GHG management, through which environment-friendly building construction can be promoted.

A large amount of carbon monoxide (CO) is generated in circulating fluidized bed combustion, the process whereby a hot cyclone separates unburned fuel. However, calcium sulfate (CaSO₄), when combined with a high CO content, can cause fouling on the surface of the steam tube installed inside the integrated recycle heat exchangers (INTREX). In this study, CaSO₄ decomposition was investigated using 0.2-3.2 vol.% CO and 1-3 vol.% oxygen (O₂) at 850℃ for 20 min in a lab-scale fluidized bed reactor. The results show that CaSO₄ decomposes into CaS and CaO when CO gas is supplied, and SO₂ emissions increase from 135 ppm to 1021 ppm with increasing CO concentration. However, the O₂ supply delayed SO₂ emissions because the reaction between CO and O₂ is faster than that of CaSO₄; nevertheless, when supplied with CaCO₃, the intermediate product, SO₂ was significantly released, regardless of the CO and O₂ supply. In addition, agglomerated solids and yellow sulfur power were observed after solid recovery, and the reactor distributor was corroded. Consequently, a sufficient O₂ supply is important and can prevent fouling formation on the INTREX surface by suppressing CaSO₄ degradation.
