For reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the short-term strategy is of existing energy-efficient appliances to facilitate the spread of energy efficiency improvements to improve energy efficiency, energy saving projects that will include investments to enable. R&D is at the core of the long-term strategy. To reduce energy demand, the equipments and processes improved energy efficiency should be developed. In terms of energy supply, the policies for greenhouse gas reduction is to replace fossil fuels by expanding the supply of renewable energy such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and nuclear power as nearly zero-emission of greenhouse gas. In terms of energy consumption, measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is in line with the policy for efficiency improvement. The buildings & work-site of high-energy consumption in the building & Industry sectors, should implement a policy to strengthening the voluntary agreement on energy-saving facilities and expand to invest in energy saving facilities.

As abnormal climate phenomena frequently happen due to the after-effect of the global warming, all nations suggest climate change response policies in many different fields to prevent global warming by reducing greenhouse gas. Especially, these days, the realization that the greenhouse gas from city buildings should be decreased is growing, and it is because that buildings are accounted for a quarter of national greenhouse gas emission and it is more than half the percentage of emissions within the city. Accordingly, Korean government sees the need to take an initiating role to fulfill low-carbon green policies and promotion strategies in the public sector, and wants to facilitate greenhouse gas reduction in the private sector as well. In this background, this study tries to examine the low-carbon planning element in public buildings and figure out the amount of carbon reduction and economic analysis centering Cheongju city as case study. Lastly, we propose some suggestion for low-carbon and greening of public buildings.

In December 2015, 195 nations agreed to cut green house gas emissions in the Paris Climate Convention, and all over the world showed their willingness to participate in greenhouse gas mitigation. Accordingly, various technologies related to greenhouse gas reduction are being considered, among which carbon dioxide capture, storage, utilization (CCUS) technologies are attracting attention as an unique technology capable of directly removing greenhouse gases. However, CCUS technologies are still costly and have low efficiency. It is still more important to analyze the level of CCUS technology before commercialization and to understand trends and to predict future direction of technology. Therefore, this study analyzes the patent trends of CCUS technology and derives implications for future directions. As a result of country analysis, the United States had the highest number of applications, and sectoral analysis shows that 64% of total patents are from capture sector. Companies such as Alstom technology, Toshiba Corp, and Mitsubishi Heavy are focusing on capturing carbon dioxide. In Korea, government research institutes have focused on storage and utilization technologies. In addition, since the late 2000s, patent applications have increased rapidly, and many countries have been interested in the development of the technology and have made efforts to reduce greenhouse gas.

Since the rapid development of information age and information technology might be considered to cause environmental problems, Green IT is perceived as core technology for low carbon green growth and the minimum waste of electricity. In this vein, Green IT is becoming new paradigm of focusing on natural environment. This study examines current various IT required for green growth, and studies various methods for diminution of carbon discharge in Korea and other countries. Especially, it focuses on the diminution effect of carbon discharge by using Green PC, and compares the difference of voltage, voltaic current, and the use of electricity between Normal PC and Green PC by using HPM-300A, and measures carbon discharge of Normal PC and Green PC. The result shows that the diminution effect of $CO_2$ discharge of Green PC is amount to 11.5Kg per year, and the effect of green growth is up to the conservation of 2 or 3 pine trees.

To assess the feasibility of 'low carbon, sustainable growth' policy pursued of the Chinese government, this paper first measures technical efficiency, $CO_2$ shadow prices, and indirect Morishima elasticity of substitution between capital and energy for 24 of manufacturing sectors in Beijing and Chongqing, in which China launched pilot carbon emissions trading scheme, by estimating the input distance function. Based on these results, then the potential for $CO_2$ reduction, cost savings from emissions trading, and the effectiveness of capital investment in reducing $CO_2$ are compared across industries and provinces. In 2010, manufacturing industries in Beijing and Chongqing could potentially reduce the largest $CO_2$ emissions, amounting 5.2 and 17 million tons, respectively, by achieving 100% technical efficiency. While, on average, Chongqing has a comparative advantage in the cost savings from carbon trading over Beijing, Beijing is more likely to reduce $CO_2$ by expanding capital investment.

The Kyoto Mechanisms allows a supplementary means for compliance, CDM(Clean Development Mechanism) and JI(Joint Implementation) projects. The investment in CDM projects is increasing rapidly as the first implementation period began in 2008. This paper seeks to determine factors affecting the price of primary CER using UNFCCC CDM Project Development Document(PDD) data. This study employs the Cluster analysis and the GLS(Generalized Least Squares) method.

21세기 들어 지구온난화 현상이 심각해지면서 세계 각국의 온실가스 감축 노력이 추진되고 있다. 특히, 2005년 2월에 공식 발효한 교통의정서(Kyoto Protocol)에서 온실가스 배출에 실질적인 책임이 있는 38개 선진국을 대상으로, 2012년까지 1990년의 온실가스 배출량 대비 평균 5.2%의 감축을 의무화 한 것이다. 한국 정부 또한 2009년 11월 온실 가스 감축목표를 2020년 배출전망치(BAU : Business As Usual) 대비 30%로 결정하고 저탄소 녹색성장기본법에 명시하는 등 국제적 감축 행렬에 동참하였다. 한국 정부는 2009년 12월부터 2013년 5월까지 42개월간 제주도에서 스마트그리드 실증사업을 시행하였다. 본 논문에서는 제주 실증단지에서 개발된 기술을 이용하여 건물단위 에너지 통합관리를 할 수 있는 시스템으로서 스마트그리드 스테이션을 개발하여 현장에 적용하였고 이를 활용한 확산방안을 제시하고자 한다.

본 논문에서는 우리나라 2030년 국가 온실가스 감축목표(NDC*, 291백만톤 감축)달성 및 2050년 탄소중립 목표 달성을 위해 필연적으로 수반되는 천연가스 내 수소 혼입에 따른 안전성확보 방안과 수소혼입에 따른 국민 불안감 해소 및 수용성 제고를 위한 대안을 제시하고, 해외 사례를 연구 하였다. 탄소중립은 온실가스(이산화탄소 등)의 배출량을 최대한 줄이고, 남은 온실가스를 흡수, 제거해서 실질적인 배출량이 "0"이 되는 것을 의미하고, 수소혼입은 도시가스의 주성분인 메탄 연소시 발생하는 CO₂를 최소화하기 위해 수소(H₂)를 도시가스에 일정비율 혼합하는 것을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 수소 혼입 시 우려되는 수소취성 및 배관내구성 문제와 수소 특성인 작은 입자로 인한 누출 위험성, 고층에서 메탄과 수소가 분리되는 현상 등에 따른 문제를 도출하고 이에 대한 안전관리 방안도 함께 제시하였다. 또한, 도시가스 배관에 수소 혼입시 천연가스 대체를 통한 온실가스 감축 및 기존 배관망 사용을 통한 경제성 분석결과와 국가 온실가스 감축에 어느 정도 기영할 수 있는지도 함께 기술하였다.

국가에너지 총 사용량의 건물에 대한 에너지 부문은 약 28%를 차지하고 있으며, 서울시의 경우는 약 58%가 건물 에너지 소비로 사용되고 있다. 기후변화 대응 및 온실가스 감축을 위하여 서울시는 '친환경 건축기준'을 발표하고 조례 시행 중에 있다. 공공건물에서의 에너지 절감은 어떤 효력을 가지고 있을까. 이에 대해 전문가들은 공공건물의 에너지 손실을 최소화하고 에너지 이용효율을 극대화함으로써, 국가 예산을 절감할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 나아가 이산화탄소 배출량 감축에 기여하면서 미래성장동력인 녹색 성장을 활성화하는데 밑바탕 이 될 것으로 내다보고 있다. 이와 관련해 국내 공공건물 에너지 정책과 해외 공공건물의 에너지 정책 사례를 살펴보고, 나아가 에너지절감 기술의 적용 방안을 소개한다.
