This study was performed to analyze GHG (Greenhouse gas) reduction effectiveness and economic feasibility in the wood pellet fuel switching project using JCDM (Japan Clean Development Mechanism) and KVER (Korea Voluntary Emission Reduction)data. The major data for the analyses consist of investment costs, annual GHG reductions, fuel prices and GHG credit prices. The wood pellet fuel switching projects are the $CO_2$-zero projects. Therefore, these projects are essential to accomplish the GHG mitigation target, especially in Korea. In order to raise the economic feasibility of the wood pellet fuel switching project, the results of this study suggest that the Korean government should reduce the price of wood pellet through the supply on a large scale and raise the KCER price of wood pellet fuel switching project.

This paper describes the effect of canola biodiesel blended fuel on the combustion and emission characteristics in a four cylinder CRDI(Common-rail direct injection) diesel engine. In this study, using the biodiesel fuel(20%,40% of biodiesel-canola oil and 80%, 60% of ULSD(ultra low sulfur diesel) by volume ratio with change of engine speed and injection pressure. The experiment results of increasing biodiesel ratio fuel show that NOx emissions increased. However, soot emission were reduced BC fuels compared to ULSD. Soot emissions largely increased at low injection pressure.

금년초부터 지식경제부의 발주로 한국석유관리원(이하 석관)에서 RFS(신재생연료의무보급제도) 국내 도입방안 연구를 수행중에 있으며, 연료업계, 지동차업계, 전문가 등이 참여하는 TF가 구성 운영되고 있다. 이미 2007 년부터 바이오디젤 0.5%가 자동차용경유에 혼합되어 사용되고 있는 가운데, 지경부에서는 신재생에너지법 상에 동 제도를 담아 고시가 아닌 법의 형태로 운용하려는 계획을 갖고 있다. 또한, 국회 지경위에서도 RFS 제도 시행 법안이 논의되었으나 계류된 바 있다. 국내 전체 차량이 1,870만대에 달하고 있는 상황에서 바이오연료 의무보급제도 시행은 전체 국민에게 영향을 미치는 중요사항이나 만큼 반드시 사전검토가 필요한 사항 등에 대해 논하고자 한다.

As the interest on the air-pollution is gradually rising up at home and abroad, automotiv e and fuel researchers have been working on the exhaust emission reduction from vehicles through a lot of approaches, which consist of new engine design, innovative after-treatment systems, using clean (eco-friendly alternative) fuels and fuel quality improvement. This research has brought forward three main issues : evaporative, performance, air pollution. In addition, researcher studied the environment problems of the bio-ethanol, bio-butanol, bio-ETBE (Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether), MTBE (Methyl Tert iary Butyl Ether) fuel contained in the fuel as octane number improver. The researchers have many dat a about the health effects of ingestion of octane number improver. However, the data support the con clusion that octane number improver is a potential human carcinogen at high doses. Based on the bio-fuel and octane number improver types (bio-ethanol, bio-butanol, bio-ETBE, MTBE), this paper dis cussed the influence of gasoline fuel properties on the evaporative emission characteristics. Also, this p aper assessed the acceleration and power performance of gasoline vehicle for the bio-fuel property. As a result of the experiment, it was found that all the test fuels meet the domestic exhaust gas standards, and as a result of measurement of the vapor pressure of the test fuels, the bio - ethanol : 15 kPa and the biobutanol : 1.6 kPa. thus when manufacturing E3 fuel, Increasing the biobutanol content reduces evaporation gas and vapor pressure. In addition, Similar accelerating and powering performance was shown for the type of biofuel and when bio-butanol and bio-ethanol were compared accelerated perf ormance was improved by about 3.9% and vehicle power by 0.8%.

In order to overcome the 21st century's challenges such as national energy supply security, global warming, and resource depletion, we are struggling to accelerate the paradigm shift in our life style from fossil fuel-based economy to biomass-based economy. In the context of sustainable bioeconomy revitalization, we comprehensively review the development status of the biorefinery as a system for bioenergy/biochemicals co-products on the basis of the various categories according to six criteria.

Due to its oxygen (O) content, biodiesel (BD) is advantageous in that it lowers PM emissions in CI engines. Therefore, BD is considered one of the best candidates for low temperature combustion (LTC) operation because its use can extend the regime for simultaneous reduction of PM and $NO_x$. Thus, in this study, LTC operation was realized using BD and diesel with a 5~7% $O_2$ fraction. Engine test results show that the use of BD increased the efficiency and reduced emissions such as PM, THC, and CO; furthermore, IMEP reduced by 10~12% owing to the lower LHV of the fuel. In particular, smoke was suppressed by up to 90% because O atoms in the BD enhanced the soot oxidation reaction. To compensate the IMEP loss, turbocharging (TC) was then tested, and the results showed that the power output increased and PM was reduced further. Moreover, TC in BD engine operation allowed a similar level of reduction in both $NO_x$ and PM at 11~12% $O_2$ fraction, suggesting that there is a potential to widen the operating range by the combination of TC and BD.

최신의 엔진기술과 배기 후처리 기술만으로는 앞으로 더욱 엄격해질 일본의 신장기 규제치(2005년)를 만족시키기에 한계를 느끼기 시작함으로서 배출가스 저감에 보다 효과적인 대응책이라고 할 수 있는 연료설계가 주목을 받고 있다. 그 대표적인 예로서 천연가스, 석탄 및 바이오 물질을 이용해 제조가 가능한 GTL(Gas to Liquid), DME(Dimethyl Eter) 및 바이오 연료는 석유의 대체연료 뿐만 아니라 유황 및 방향족 성분이 매우 낮은 저공해 연료로도 일본 내에서 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. (중략)

National investment was performed in the research and development of renewable energy because of climate change by air pollution, exhaustion of energy sources, energy security, and so on. Biodiesel fuel of the renewable energy is highlighted as friendly environment energy, it is possible to operate in regular diesel engines when it is blended with invariable ratios without making any changes. Emission factors have been estimated for commercial ship from various research institutes; however, it is difficult to develop emission factors for military vessels. In this work, biodiesel blended fuel emission factors for sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide were quantitatively estimated from propulsive diesel engine installed on naval vessel using fuel property analysis. In addition, exhaust emissions were quantitatively calculated on the basis of fuel consumption rate with biodiesel content by percentage.
