Attrition characteristics of WGS catalysts for pre-combustion $ CO_2$ capture were investigated to check attrition loss of those catalysts, to check change of particle size distribution during attrition tests, and to determine solid circulation direction of WGS catalysts in a SEWGS system. The cumulative attrition losses of two catalysts increased with increasing time. However, attrition loss under humidified condition was lower than that under non-humidified condition case for long-term attrition tests. Between two catalysts, attrition loss of PC-29 catalyst was higher than that of commercial catalyst for long-term attrition tests. However, the commercial catalyst generated much more fines than PC-29 catalyst during attrition. Therefore, we conclude that the PC-29 catalyst is more suitable for fluidized bed operation if we take into account the separation efficiency of cyclone. Based on the results from the tests for the effect of humidity on the attrition loss, we selected solid circulation direction from SEWGS reactor to regeneration reactor because the SEWGS reactor contains more water vapor than regeneration reactor.

In this study, to use as basic data for the organic waste resource energy incentive system, the energy efficiency is evaluated through the mass balance and energy balance calculation results of the anaerobic digester where food waste, food waste leachate and various organic wastes are treated. As a result of the mass balance analysis for 11 biogasification facilities, it was confirmed that 21.1% of process water and 25.7% of tap water were input in large amounts, excluding organic waste. Accordingly, it accounted for 87.6% of the total effluent of linked treated water. In addition, considering that 15.7% of the total input volume is converted to biogas and the average total solids (TS) is 22%, an average material conversion rate of 75% was confirmed. As a result of the energy balance analysis, the energy conversion rate was confirmed to be 78.5% on average by analyzing the biogas calorific value compared to the potential energy of the influent. The average biogas production efficiency including external energy sources for biogas production was 69.4%, and the biogas plant efficiency to which unused effluent energy was applied was 58.9% on average.

The energy supplied by motor of extruder, being known mostly to be dissipated as heat, was classified into two kinds of energy: a thermal energy by heat dissipation and a purely mechanical energy. The thermal energy was defined as a energy in terms of temperature rise and the mechanical energy as the motor energy minus the heat dissipated energy. A method to derive the thermal energy and the relative mechanical energy (the mechanical energy calculated regarding the mechanical energy at the lowest screw speed as zero) under the condition of constant barrel temperature was developed by which an extrusion case was analyzed. When extruding com grits with moisture $(27{\sim}37%)$ at low barrel temperature $({\leq}80^{\circ}C)$, the thermal energy slightly increased with increase in the moisture content, whereas the relative mechanical energy increased to a great extent. When increasing the screw speed, the thermal energy was nearly kept constant, whereas the relative mechanical energy largely varied. It is concluded that as the moisture content increases, the role of the mechanical energy becomes more effective than the heat energy dissipated from the motor energy.

For continuous and successful innovation, changes in innovation system are required and have been magnified as a new controversy. With high public interest in changes of innovation system, Transition theory and policy in Netherlands are now attracting attentions of many researchers and policymakers. Transition policy in Netherlands is distinguished from existing policies for fundamental system change in that take remarkably different views and methods. Typical examples of transition in Netherlands are such as sustainable energy transition, biodiversity and natural resource transition, sustainable agriculture transition, and sustainable transportation. Transitions in Netherlands are still in the early stage of it but several positive effects are witnessing. However some problems - linking theory and practice, ambiguity of transition concept, linking long-term vision and short-term, resistance of existing regime, implementation problem, diffusion of support, etc.- to be tackled are still remaining. In spite of those problems, many lessons can be drawn from them. To guide structural changes in innovation system into the right path and cope with lock-in problem by existing system and regime, we need to learn from Transition theory and policy in Netherlands.

As the 'Eco-friendly conversion project for Port's CHE(Cargo handling Equipment) ' which has started in 2014 ends in 2024, in addition to the existing 'Low pollution' paradigm to respond to fine dust problems, a full-fledged 'Zero-emission' conversion is to be required to implement 2050 carbon neutrality at the port level. Accordingly, this study calculated the future replacement demand for container handling equipments at the four major domestic ports(Busan, Incheon, Yeosu Gwangyang, and Ulsan), and assumed a scenario where every CHE supposed to eb replaced is electrified inturn every year. And then the resulting future emission reduction effect accordingly was calculated and analyzed. In particular, compared and analyzed the emission outlook applying the life-cycle concept(LCA), which is being adopted as a new emission calculation standard in most industrial fields, and the existing emission calculation concept that only considers direct emissions within the port, to provide more effective implications for the promotion of follow-up conversion projects. According to the analysis results, if the CHE is replaced according to the proposed schedule, it is expected that the existing emissions can be reduced by 79% compared to BAU in 2025 and 97.4% in 2030. However, if the LCA is applied, it is expected to be reduced by only 27.6% by 2030. This suggests that port's CHE must be converted to zero emissions and at the same time establish an Ports' self-sufficient energy grid based on renewable energy.

This study was carried out to examine different mole ratio of $H_2/CO_2$ and EBCT using the continuous system in the lab scale throughout biological methods with accumulated hydrogenotrophic methanogen that can convert $CO_2$ to $CH_4$. The experimental-based results with various gas mixtures of mole ratio of 4:1($H_2/CO_2$) and 5:1($H_2/CO_2$), $H_2$ was converted more than 99% conversion rate. In case of $CO_2$, 4:1($H_2/CO_2$) and 5:1($H_2/CO_2$) were $74.45{\pm}0.33%$, $95.8{\pm}10.7%$, respectively, in addition, the study was confirmed that the amount of $H_2$ was more needed than stoichiometric equations, where approach methods are empirical versus theoretical frameworks, for converting total $CO_2$. As such, we have noticed that $H_2$ was used for energy source of hydrogenotrophic methanogen for maintaining life. Regarding the results of the ratio of treatment by retention time, limitation of treatment capacity showed that $H_2$(99.9%) and $CO_2$(96.23%) at EBCT 3.3 hrs indicated stable conversion ratio, as well as appeared that methane production rate and $CO_2$ fixation rate were investigated $1.15{\pm}0.02m^3{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ and $2.01{\pm}0.04kg{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}day^{-1}$, respectively.

오일샌드는 아스팔트와 같은 중질유를 10% 이상 함유한 모래 또는 사암으로서, 겉으로 보기에는 시커먼 흙이나 모래처럼 보이나 내부에는 모래(점토)와 같은 광물질이 70~80%, 에너지원으로 활용이 가능한 중질유 성분인 bitumen이 10~18%, 물이 3~5% 정도 혼합되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 오일샌드 활용방안 개발을 위하여 오일샌드로부터 bitumen의 추출 및 증류 특성에 대한 시험을 진행하였으며, 가스화를 통한 합성가스 제조, 합성가스 중 분진제거 및 탈황, CO/$H_2$비 제어를 위한 합성가스 전환 등의 시험을 진행하였는데, pilot급 시스템을 이용한 합성가스 제조 시험 결과 중질잔사유를 5~7 kg/h 공급하는 조건에서 CO 40~50%, $H_2$ 20~30%, $CO_2$ 10~20% 조성의 합성가스 18~22 $Nm^3$/h를 제조하였다.

지난해 2006년까지 ESCO 시장은 약 2000억 원 규모로 성장했다. ESCO투자사업에 대한 정부의 에너지이용합리화자금지원 규모가 늘어났을 뿐만 아니라 초기 단순 조명개체 사업이 주류를 이루다 현재에는 공정개선, 폐열회수 등 복합설비로 전환되고 있다. 사업당 단위 규모도 빠르게 늘고 있는데 이는 고유가와 기후변화협약 등 국제적 문화와 복합설비 설치로 인한 에너지절약 규모가 커지면서 에너지절약 시장도 이슈로 부각했으며 특히 공정개선, 폐열회수 등은 산업계 및 민간의 주목을 받고 있다.
