온실가스 배출량과 장래 저감 가능량의 산정은 기후변화협약 참여협상 및 저감대책 수립에 없어서는 안될 중요한 기초자료이다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 환경부문(폐기물, 하폐수분야)의 온실가스 배출량을 추정하기 위한 배출계수와 관련 정책을 검토하고 이를 토대로 장래 온실가스 배출량을 예측하고 저감잠재량을 평가하고자 한다. (중략)

Abstract Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture and forestry sources in the energy sector have been estimated based on a top-down approach, which is an efficient way to estimate GHG emissions with the limited number of emission factors and activity data. On the other hand, for GHG abatement policies, more detailed information and data on GHG emissions are required. This study discusses how to improve the estimates of GHG emissions from the agricultural and forestry sources in the energy sector. To this end, this paper reviews the current estimation method of GHG emissions and presents three suggestions to enhance the current method. First, the development of country specific emission factors and corresponding activity data is proposed based on the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Reports from other countries, and Domestic Statistics. Second, the uncertainty in CO₂ emissions from agriculture in energy sector based on 2006 IPCC Guidelines is estimated, and ways of reducing the uncertainty in CO₂ emissions are suggested. Finally, a potential way to reflect the GHG emissions from the use of renewable energy is suggested.

To promote the carbon emission trading scheme and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission as following 'Korean GHG & Energy Target Management System', GHG emissions should be accurately determined in each industrial sector. For the estimation method of GHG emission from waste landfill, there are several error parameters, therefore we reviewed the estimation method and proposed a revised method. Methane generation from landfill must be calculated by the selected method based on methane recovery rate, 0.75. However, this methodology is not considered about uncertainty factor. So it is desirable that $CH_4$ generation is estimated using first order decay model and methane recovery should use field monitoring data. If not, $CH_4$ recovery could be applied from other study results; 0.60 of operational landfill with gas vent and flaring system, 0.65 of operational site with landfill gas recovery system, 0.90 of closed landfill with final cover. Other parameters such as degradable organic carbon (DOC) and fraction of DOC decompose ($DOC_f$) need to derive the default value from studies to reflect a Korean waste status. Proper application of MCF that is selected by operation and management of landfill requires more precise criteria.

This study analyzed the impacts of FTAs (Free Trade Agreements) actively being promoted by the Korean government on the Korean economy, energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and found the policy implications in terms of the linkage amongst them. The simulation analysis by using a global CGE model, KEEI-GCGE, found that the effectuation of Korea-USA, the Korea-EU and the Korea-China-Japan FTAs at the same time would increase the real gross domestic product (GDP) of Korea by 2.04%. In addition, the energy consumption and GHG emissions of Korea are estimated to increase by 3.33% and 1.53% respectively. These results imply that the various medium and long-term plans and policies related to energy and GHG emissions in Korea should systematically reflect those potential impacts of the FTAs.

지구온난화 완화를 위한 세계적인 활동에 부응하여 우리 정부는 "저탄소 녹색성장 기본법" 및 동법 시행령을 제정, 공표하고 지구온난화의 주범으로 지목되고 있는 온실가스 배출을 줄이기 위해 "온실가스 에너지 목표관리제"를 도입하였다. 온실가스 에너지 목표관리제는 일정량 이상의 온실가스를 배출하는 사업체가 의무 보고 대상이 된다. 대상 사업장은 온실가스 배출 감축목표에 따른 이행계획을 수립하고 명세서를 매년 제출하여야 한다. 따라서 대상 사업장은 온실가스 에너지 관련 데이터를 관리하고 목표달성을 위해서 온실가스 및 에너지 관련 전문성을 가진 인원이 필요하며 이러한 인원에 대한 적격성은 개별 사업장에서 정의하고 양성하기에는 어려움이 따르기 때문에 온실가스 배출량 정량화 및 평가, 보고 및 내부 검증에 대한 전문가 자격제도의 도입이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 온실가스 에너지 관리자 자격제도를 도입하기 위한 방안을 연구, 온실가스 관리자의 역할 및 적격성, 자격구분 및 검정기준, 검정체계를 제시하고, 향후 도입 단계에 대한 방안을 제시한다.

In this study, the urban $CO_2$ emission based on energy consumption (Coal, Petroleum, Electricity, and City Gas) in 16 provincial and metropolitan city governments in South Korea was evaluated. For calculation of the urban $CO_2$ emission, direct and indirect emissions were considered. Direct emissions refer to generation of greenhouse gas (GHG) on-site from the energy consumption. Indirect emissions refer to the use of resources or goods that discharge GHG emissions during energy production. The total GHG emission was 497,083 thousand ton $CO_2eq.$ in 2007. In the indirect GHG emission, about 240,388 thousand ton $CO_2eq.$ was occurred, as 48% of total GHG emission. About 256,694 thousand ton $CO_2eq.$ (52% of total GHG emissions) was produced in the direct GHG emission. This amount shows 13% difference with 439,698 thousand ton $CO_2eq.$ which is total national GHG emission data using current calculation method. Local metropolitan governments have to try to get accuracy and reliability for quantifying their GHG emission. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and use Korean emission factors than using the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) emission factors. The method considering indirect and direct GHG emission, which is suggested in this study, should be considered and compared with previous studies.

The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of a landfill project to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) from La Chureca Landfill in Managua, Nicaragua ("Project"). The feasibility study involved surveying the status and composition of waste on its way in to the landfill and projecting GHG emissions from the landfill. A projection of the GHG emissions with the IPCC model based on the survey results indicated the period 2006 to 2043 would see mean yearly GHG emissions of 290,147 ton-CO₂/year with model certainty not considered, and 217,610 ton-CO₂/year with model certainty considered. Thus, the result exceeded the corresponding median and mean values of other CDM projects implemented in Central America, even after model uncertainty was considered together with the conservative estimation of carbon capture efficiency. The similar result was produced even with an analysis of sensitivity to error factors. All the findings of the study are expected to be applicable as basic data for deciding about whether & how to proceed with the Project.

최근 대두되고 있는 중요한 문제 중 하나인 기후변화협약에 의하여 온실가스 배출량에 대한 감축 및 규제가 실시되고 있으므로, 우리나라에서도 이에 대한 대비를 하지 않으면 안 되며, 유가가 급등하고 있어 에너지 소비를 감소시키는 정책을 적극적으로 수행해 나가야 한다. 전력시스템이 대형화되고 더욱 복잡하게 구성되면서, 전력손실 감소 및 전압관리 차원에서 부하 역률 관리의 중요성이 새롭게 부각되고 있다. 따라서 온실가스 배출량 감축 효과를 반영하여 우리나라의 전력시스템의 적정한 부하역률 기준치가 새롭게 조정될 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 온실가스 배출량 감축 효과를 반영하기 위한 기초연구로서 적정 부하역률을 산정하기위한 기법을 제시하고, 이산화탄소의 배출량 감축 효과를 반영하지 않을 때와 반영할 때의 적정 부하역률이 어떻게 변화하는지를 주어진 하나의 전력 시스템을 사용하여 분석한다.

Greenhouse gas emissions have been an important issue in different countries because of their effects on global warming. The government has to organize greenhouse gas reduction measures suitable to regional characteristics by establishing annual implementation plans and comprehensive policies based on the UNFCCC. The transportation sector is one of the major contributors of air pollution; hence increasing need to estimate current and future traffic emissions precisely. Under these circumstances, a number of emission models have been developed recently. However, current methods of estimation cannot carry out effective analyses because it does not reflect vehicle movement characteristics. This study aims to present a new method for calculating road traffic emissions in Goyang city. A travel demand model is utilized to carry out GHG emission estimates according the traffic data (fleet composition, vehicle kilometers travelled, traffic intensity, road type, emission factors and speed). This study evaluates two approaches to estimate the road traffic emissions in Goyang City: Pollution-Emis and the Handbook of Emission Factors for Road Transport (HBEFA v.3.1) which is representative of the "average speed" and the "traffic situation" model types. The evaluation of results shows that the proposed emission estimation method may be a good practice if vigilant implementation of model inputs is observed.
