생산품에 대한 국제적 환경기준은 강화되고, 친환경소비를 실천하는 소비자의 요구도 커졌다. 온실가스 감축은 거를 수 없는 시대적 흐름이다. 우리나라를 비롯한 많은 국가들이 배출권거래제 도입에 적극적인 이유는 여러 가지 긍정적 효과에 기인한다. 배출권거래제는 기존 온실가스 목표관리제에 비해 국가 온실가스 감축비용이 44-68% 수준으로 절감된다고 한다. 또한 기업의 신재생에너지, 에너지 고효율 기술 등 저탄소 분야에 대한 투자와 기술개발을 유인하고, 저탄소 경제구조로의 전환과 경제성장에도 기여한다고 한다. 배출권거래제의 성공적 시행을 위한 중요한 과제는 정부의 면밀한 준비와 할당 대상업체 등 산업계의 적극적 협조다.

Many actions against climate change have been taken to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions at home and abroad. As of 2007, the GHGs emitted from buildings accounted for about 23 % of Korea's total GHGs emission, which is the second largest GHG reduction potential following industry. In this study, we introduced Carbon Zero Building (CZB), which was constructed by the National Institute of Environmental Research to cut down GHGs from buildings in Korea, and evaluated the main applied technologies, the amount of energy load and reduced energy, and economic values for CZB to provide data that could be a basis in the future construction of this kind of carbon-neutral buildings. A total of 66 technologies were applied for this building in order to achieve carbon zero emissions. Applied technologies include 30 energy consumption reduction technologies, 18 energy efficiency technologies, and 5 eco-friendly technologies. Out of total annual energy load ($123.8kWh/m^2$), about 40% of energy load ($49kWh/m^2$) was reduced by using passive technologies such as super insulation and use of high efficiency equipments and the other 60% ($74.8kWh/m^2$) was reduced by using active technologies such as solar voltaic, solar thermal, and geothermal energy. The construction cost of CZB was 1.4 times higher than ordinary buildings. However, if active technologies are excluded, the construction cost is similar to that of ordinary buildings. It was estimated that we could save annually about 102 million won directly from energy saving and about 2.2 million won indirectly from additional saving by the reduction in GHGs and atmospheric pollutants. In terms of carbon, we could reduce 100 ton of $CO_2$ emissions per year. In our Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis, the Break Even Point (BEP) for the additional construction cost was estimated to be around 20.6 years.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the green-house gas emission reduction of the pump scheduling system applied to the water-supply facilities in all objectivity with AMS-II.C/Version 13 in CDM methodology. To calculate the baseline and project emission in Paldang Pumping Station (III) the data about water flow, water level, electricity consumption, etc. before and after the implementation of project was used. This study considers internal facility (mostly for lighting) electricity consumption and grid loss in order to get more accurate emission reductions. The methodology used in this study will be able to apply to different energy improvement techniques to calculate emission reductions in water supply facilities.

Since the release of mid-term domestic GHG goals until 2020, in 2009, some various GHG reduction policies have been proposed to reduce the emission rate about 30% compared to BAU scenario. There are two types of modeling approaches for identifying options required to meet greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement targets and assessing their economic impacts: top-down and bottom-up models. Examples of the bottom-up optimization models include MARKAL, MESSAGE, LEAP, and AIM, all of which are developed based on linear programming (LP) with a few differences in user interface and database utilization. The bottom-up model for electric sector requires demand management, regeneration energy mix, fuel conversation, etc., thus it has a very complex aspect to estimate some various policies. In this paper, we suggest a bottom-up BAU model for electric sector and how we can build it through step-by-step procedures such that includes load region, hydro-dam and pumping storage.

This study analyzed directions of the energy product efficiency improvement and Carbon Tax for the domestic building sector. In order to analyze GHG reduction potential and total cost, the cost optimization model MESSAGE was used. In the case of the "efficiency improvement scenario," the cumulative potential GHG reduction amount - with respect to the "Reference scenario" - from 2010 to 2030 is forecast to be $104MtCO_2eq$, with a total projected cost of 2.706 trillion KRW. In the "carbon tax scenario," a reduction effect of $74MtCO_2eq$ in cumulative potential GHG reduction occurred, with a total projected cost of 2.776 trillion KRW. The range of per-ton GHG reduction cost for each scenario was seen to be approximately $-475{\sim}272won/tCO_2eq$, and the "efficiency improvement scenario" showed as the highest in the order of priority, in terms of the GHG reduction policy direction. Regarding policies to reduce GHG emissions in the building sector, the energy efficiency improvement is deemed to deployed first in the future.

Korea country was set up over 30% greenhouse gas reduction target in comparision with BAU(Business as usal) at the national level, depending on climate change, which have been promoted as several technical and policy planning in order to reduce national greenhouse gas reduction. In this study, we derived the policies and technologies of power plant sector that is a high rate of reduction and public interest, we established a model for a common evaluation indicators and each of the evaluation factors between policy and technology priorities based on appropriate subject experts using analytic hierarchy process(AHP). Further we suggest insight to electricity company to establish the investment strategies of the technology and the associated policy by applying a weight evaluation index presenting a comprehensive priority.

원자력 발전은 지난 수십 년 동안 대한민국에서 가장 중요하고 청정한 전기 에너지 공급원 역할을 감당해왔다. 그렇지만 한국 정부는 원자력 발전의 점유율을 줄이고 재생에너지의 비중을 높이는 것을 목표로 하는 에너지 전환 정책 로드맵을 발표하였다. 그러나 한국의 높은 인구밀도를 놓고 볼 때, 전력 생산의 최대 에너지원을 재생에너지로 전환하겠다는 구상은 무리일 수밖에 없다. 그 이유는 재생에너지 발전량만으로는 다 감당할 수 없는 원자력 발전량의 감축 부분을 어떻게 보충하겠다는 언급이 한국 정부의 로드맵에는 없기 때문이다. 암묵적으로 받아들여지고 있는 대안은 결국 화석연료인 것 같은데, 한국정부가 어떤 화석연료를 선택하느냐 하는 문제는 온실가스 배출량 감축이라는 문제와 직결되므로 그것이 최종 결정의 핵심적 요소가 될 것이다. 우리는 시나리오 분석 방법을 통해 한 가지 재생에너지를 선택한다는 가정과 함께 두 종류의 화석연료를 주로 사용하게 되는 경우를 분석해 보았다. 아울러 우리는 다른 나라들의 세 가지 에너지계획과 비교 분석한 사항을 바탕으로 원자력 에너지 외에 한국 정부가 선택할만한 에너지원의 타당성과 각 에너지 별 선택에 따른 제약사항을 밝히면서 최악의 결과를 방지하기 위한 기술-경제상의 필수적인 조건들을 제안하려 한다.

To meet $CO_2$ emission regulation, this study describes the present state of $CO_2$ reduction technology and the effect of the regulation on power industry. In Japan, R&D investment is actively continuing through a long-term R&D project, along with trying to meet the reduction demand by the ways of energy saving and abroad business. EU has made a lot of investments in increasing the efficiency of power generation and developing alternative energy sources. The US is making provision of the portion of reduction by using energy saving program and emission trading, and the current DOE-driven program is addressing the development of cost-effective power systems. In the country, the research to reduce $CO_2$ emission has been mainly driven by the government and research institute supported by the government. Meanwhile, if the reduction obligation imposed on Portugal which is the least strict condition will be enforced in Korea, it is likely that about 50 running power plants should be stopped or shut down after 2015, in spite of voluntary reduction efforts such as conversion to clean fuels, etc. according to the government's long-term electric power need and supply plan.

It is necessary to determine the current and future energy consumption by farm households for the rational specification of energy related policy in the Korean agricultural sector. Especially, It is important to identify the consumption by source of energy and by the crops. On the other hand, the world has tried to reduce the production of greenhouse gases and, in line with this, the Korean government established related legislations to contribute to this reduction (30% reduction in emissionsby 2020). The reduction target of the agricultural sector is specified as 5.2% of the national total. This study focuses on sampling design to determine the energy consumption and emission of greenhouse gases, and suggests several alternatives to improve the confidence level and to make a dent survey and estimation errors. The population for the energy consumption survey of the agricultural sector was derived from agricultural census data. In the case of commodities with high skewness, we cut the sample range to within the statistical significant range. The number of samples in each class is specified using the Neyman allocation method and 95% significance level. The estimation results are compared with the population to verify the statistical significance and several management methods of sampling errors are suggested.
