In this paper, we decomposed Greenhouse-Gas emissions of Korea's manufacturing industry using LMDI (Log Mean Divisia Index) method. Changes in $CO_2$ emissions from 1991 to 2007 studied in 5 different factors, industrial production (production effect), industry production mix (structure effect), sectoral energy intensity (intensity effect), sectoral energy mix (energy-mix effect), and $CO_2$ emission factors (emission-factor effect). By results, the structure effect and intensity effect has a role of reducing GHG emissions and The role of structure effect was bigger than intensity effect. The energy mix effect increased GHG emissions and emission-factor effect decreased GHG emissions. By time series analysis, IMF regime affected the GHG emission pattern. the structure effect and intensity effect in that regime was getting worse. After 2000, in the high oil price period, the structure effect and intensity effect is getting better.

We estimate $CO_2$ emissions in Korea industry, 1990 and 2000 using a commodity- by-industry IO model ($CO_2$ hybrid IO mode]). Estimated $CO_2$ emissions in industries include both $CO_2$ emissions from direct and indirect consumption. The results show that total $CO_2$ emissions has increased by 51.6 million TC (Tonne of Carbon) from 64.4 million TC in 1990 to 115.5 million TC in 2000. By applying the structural decomposition analysis technique, we decompose change of $CO_2$ emissions in Korea industry between the period 1990~2000. In the decomposition, we figure out two contributing factors, changes in $CO_2$ coefficient and changes in final demand. The latter is further decomposed as growth effects and structural effects. We also estimated each factor's contribution to the changes in $CO_2$ emissions in industries between 1990~2000. The analysis can be used as a useful resource for policy makers in improving the effectiveness of $CO_2$ emissions mitigation policy.

In this study, field scale test was conducted to estimate the TMDL coefficients (runoff and leachate:(${\beta}4$)(${\beta}5$)(${\beta}8$)) for the livestock resources applying to agricultural crop land as fertilizer, and the results were obtained as follows. Each waste reduction coefficient(${\beta}4$) was shown to be in the range of 0.94~0.75 for public waste treatment plants and 0.99~0.83 for private waste treatment in the analysis of BOD, COD, SS, T-N, T-P, TOC. Thus private plants showed higher rate. Waste treatment discharge into the land coefficient (${\beta}5$) was also shown to be in the range of 0.4.~0.24 for public plants and 0.75~0.16 for private plants, so it is much lower than other coefficients. However SS and T-P were shown to be much higher for land discharge in private plants than in public plants. Treatment coefficient in the public plants (${\beta}8$) appeared to be average 0.75 for T-P but over 90% treatment efficiency and also large deviation were observed due to 0.2 of some other treatment plants.

This study estimates the regional input-output table and GHG emissions in 2019 and then analyzes the economic effects of carbon taxes by region and industry in Korea. The GHG emission, emission coefficient, and emission induction coefficient are estimated to be higher in manufacturing-oriented metropolitan provinces. The GHG emission coefficient in the same industry varies from region to region, which might reflect the standard of product classification, characteristics of production technology, and the regional differences in input structure. If a carbon tax is imposed, production costs are expected to increase and demand and production will decrease, especially in the manufacturing industry, which emits more GFG. On the other hand, the impact of carbon taxes on each region is not expected to vary significantly from region to region, which might be due to the fact that those differences are mitigated by industry-related effects. Since the impact of carbon taxes is expected to spread to the entire region, close cooperation between local governments is necessary in the process of implementing carbon neutrality in the future.

In this paper, $CO_2$ emission and storage amount are evaluated for real RC (Reinforced Concrete) underground structure considering $CO_2$ amount including material manufacturing, moving, and construction, repairing timing stage regarding extended service life. Four mix proportions with mineral admixtures are prepared and $CO_2$ diffusion coefficient are obtained based on a micro modeling. Referred to carbonation durability limit state, $CO_2$ emission and storage amount are evaluated, which shows higher initial $CO_2$ emission is caused due to larger unit content of cement and the storage increases with more rapid carbonation velocity. Furthermore various $CO_2$ concentration is adopted for simulation of $CO_2$ evaluation including measured $CO_2$ concentration (600ppm). With higher concentration of $CO_2$ outside, carbonation velocity increases. In order to reduce $CO_2$ emission through entire service life, reducing initial $CO_2$ emission through mineral admixture like fly ash is more effective than increasing $CO_2$ storage through OPC since $CO_2$ is significantly emitted under manufacturing OPC and $CO_2$ storage in cover concrete of RC structure is not effective considering initial concrete amount in construction.

Recently the exterior attaching reinforcement method is being often used by using FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) as a method of strengthening concrete structure. this FRP exterior attaching reinforcement method has several advantages like high intensity, stiffness, good durability and easy installment comparing to its weight. but its structure is airtight covered by reinforcement material whose water permeability is low and water can't be discharged, thus it may provoke a damage to the structure after a long while. the main purposes of this study are to develop GFRP reinforcement material which can discharge the surface water properly and to measure its special functions. for this, we have changed the normal reinforcement material to water permeable structure and measured its water permeance modulus by an indoor test which shows the process of water permeance with the parameter of contained GFRP quantity. also tried to verify the measured value of the water permeance modulus in theory by analyzing the numbers on water permeance process. the test result showed that the biggest quantity of water, 0.5129 g/h $m^2$ was discharged when the fiber contained quantity reached at 75% and the tensile strength was also biggest by 476.6MPa at 75%, so it appeared that COSREM GP panel with 75% fiber contained quantity is the best in ventilation and structure.

This paper analyzed the impact of the penetration of EV(electric vehicle) and FCEV(fuel cell electric vehicle) into the automobile industry, using a static CGE approach. There are contrasting view on the economic impact of EV/FCEV penetration: negative economic impact due to shrunken intermediate inputs versus positive impact because of input saving technical progress. Regarding environment, there is no clear consensus whether EV or FCEV will contribute to the reduction of $CO_2$ emissions in Korea. This study attempts to provide an answer to these questions. By giving shocks to the input coefficients of automobile industries and automobile using sectors, as well as to the final demands for energies. we integrated the Bass diffusion model into the CGE framework, The result suggests that the EV penetration has adverse impact on the $CO_2$ emission while the FCEV penetration has positive impact. On the other hand, both EV and FCEV have positive impacts on GDP. When considering automobile manufacturing sectors only, adverse impacts on $CO_2$ are demonstrated both for EV and FCEV. However, since the size of $CO_2$ increase is small, these results does not alter the overall effects.

The following policy implications can be drawn from this study: 1) The Air Pollution Emission Amount Report published by the Ministry of Environment since 1991 classifies industries into 4 sectors, i. e., heating, manufacturing, transportation and power generation. Currently, the usability of report is very low and extra efforts should be given to refine the current statistics and to improve the industrial classification. 2) Big pollution industries are as follows - s7, s17 and s20. The current air pollution control policy for these sectors compared to other sectors are found to be inefficient. This finding should be noted in the implementation of future air pollution policy. 3) s10 and s17 are found to be a big polluting industrial sector and its pollution reduction effect is also significant. 4) The effect of emission coefficient (${\Delta}f$) has the biggest impact on the reduction of emission amount change and the effect of economic growth coefficient (${\Delta}y$) has the biggest impact on the increase of emission volume. The effect of production technology factor (${\Delta}D$) and the effect of the change of the final demand structure (${\Delta}u$) are insignificant in terms of the change of emission volume. 5) Further studies on emission estimation techniques on each industry sector and the economic analysis are required to promote effective enforcement of the total volume control system of air pollutants, the differential management of pollution causing industrial sectors and the integration of environment and economy. 6) Korea's economic growth in 1990 is not pollution-driven in terms of the Barry Commoner's hypothesis, even though the overall industrial structure and the demand structure are not environmentally friendly. It indicates that environmental policies for the improvement of air quality depend mainly on the government initiatives and systematic national level consideration of industrial structures and the development of green technologies are not fully incorporated.

산업혁명을 거치면서 높은 화석연료를 사용하는 제조업 중심의 산업구조와 많은 자원을 필요로 하는 도시의 집중 현상으로 지구 온난화에 따른 이상기후 발생이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 기후변화는 홍수, 태풍, 폭염 및 폭설 등의 자연재해 발생 빈도 및 규모를 증가시켜 피해가 커지고 있다. 특히 인구 및 시설들이 집중해 있어 도시의 집중 현상은 이러한 재해에 더욱 취약한 구조가 됨에 따라 피해의 규모를 가중 시키고 있는 실정이다. 전 세계적으로 기후변화 문제의 심각성을 인식하고 이를 해결하기 위해 선신국에 의무를 부여하는 교토의정서(1997년) 채택에 이어, 선진국과 개도국이 모두 참여하는 파리협정(2015년)을 채택하였고 2016년 협정이 발효되었다. 파리협정의 목표는 산업화 이전 대비 지구 평균온도 상승을 2℃보다 아래로 유지하고, 나아가 1.5℃로 억제하기 노력하는 것을 강제하는 것으로 2050년까지 탄소 순배출량을 '0'으로 만든다는 탄소중립사회로의 전환이 본격적으로 시작되었다. 본 연구에서는 기후변화로 인한 물부족 및 수실오염과 같은 도시의 수자원 문제 해결을 위해 IoT 기반 센서 및 네트워크 기반 수자원 플랫폼을 개발하였다. 도시 수자원 시설 데이터를 기반으로 대체 수자원 확보 및 수요 중심의 물 관리를 통해 효율적인 물 배분이 될 수 있도록 하였으며 이러한 스마트 물 관리에 따른 대체 수자원 확보 및 효율적 물 배분이 탄소 저감에 미치는 효과에 대해 분석하였다. 연구대상 지역은 세종 6-4구역으로 LID 특화지구로 조성되었으며 1,000 세대의 주민이 생활하는 공동주택이다. 물 순환(LID) 시설에서 확보된 물을 물 공급 시설과 연계하여 공동주택에서 활용함으로써 감소된 상수 사용량을 온실가스 배출량으로 환산하여 탄소 저감량을 계산하였다. 실제 주민들(1,000세대)이 사용하고 있는 상수량 데이터와 전력거래소 온실가스 배출계수를 활용하였으며 물순환(LID) 시설로 확보하여 대체할 수 있는 상수량은 10%로 가정하였다. 연구대상 지역(1,000세대)의 연간 상수공급량은 331,603m³이며, 연간 전력사용량은69,637kWh이다. 온실가스 배출량은 31.963tCO₂eq이며, 온실가스 저감량은 3.2tCO₂eq로 산정되었다. 추후 LID 시설에 대한 상수 대체량과 온실가스 저감효과 정량화가 필요하다.

기후변화와 지구온난화로 인하여 전 세계적으로 폭우발생 빈도 및 강도가 증가하고 있다. 특히 유역 차원에서 도시화와 산업 개발로 인한 불투수면적 증가는 내수침수 증가로 이어지고 있다. 불투수면적이 높고 인구와 건물이 밀집되어있는 도시유역에서의 내수침수는 막대한 재산피해와 인명피해를 야기한다. 도시유역의 불투수층에 내린 강우는 지표면을 따라 흐르다가 대부분 우수관으로 유입되어 유역에서 배출된다. 그러므로 도시 우수관의 설계빈도를 결정하고 설계홍수량을 결정하는 일은 도시 홍수 저감을 위한 구조적인 대책 중 가장 우선적으로 고려되어야 하고, 또 가장 중요한 대책이기도 하다. 본 연구에서는 과거 홍수피해가 빈번히 발생했던 도시유역들 중 유역면적과 우수관망의 구조가 다른 7개의 도시를 선정하여 다양한 강우사상에 따른 유출해석을 실시하였다. 서울과 부산 기상관측소에서 관측된 1975년부터 2015년까지의 강우자료에 대한 EPA-SWMM 모형에서의 유출해석 결과 첨두강우량의 변화에 따른 첨두유출량의 변화를 선형회귀모형으로 분석하였다. 회귀모형의 결정계수와 95% 신뢰구간, 변동계수를 비교하였고, 수계밀도개념을 적용하여 첨두유출량의 변화를 해석한 결과, 우수관망이 조밀하게 건설되어 배수밀도가 높을수록 증가된 첨두강우량에 따라 함께 증가하는 첨두유출량의 예측이 상대적으로 정확하게 가능함을 확인하였다. 우수관의 구조적인 특성에 따른 유출 응답 속도를 고려하여 우수관을 설계한다면, 보다 효율적인 우수관 설계가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
