In this research, we have developed standardized procedures for preparing of emission inventories on military sector. The procedures are as follows; 1) Identify all relevant emission sources list of military sector in Republic of Korea. 2) Select methods to estimate GHGs emissions by source categories such as heating boilers, tactical vehicles, military vessels and military aviation from US EPA, IPCC, EEA/EMEP, and ROK Ministry of Environment. 3) Identify and select data sources for activities and parameters from Korea annual oil statistics and Korea Procurement system. 4) Compare with each GHGs emission used by each activities. The conclusive results utilized by emission source categories and associated factors are described as follows; In 2013, GHGs was estimated 2,656 kilotons $CO_2-eq$ emitted by military sector. The diesel combustion contributed from a minimum of 43.8% to a maximum of 50.2% and JP-8 contributed from a minimum of 43.7% to a maximum of 52.8% to the 2001~2015 GHGs emission trend. In the result of comparing GHGs emissions with Korea Annual Oil Statistics (Tier 1) and supplied fuel through the Korea Procurement System (Tier 2) in 2015, the total GHGs emission was 2,867 kilotons $CO_2-eq$ estimated by Tier 2 is similar to the emission estimated by Tier 1. However, this reveals that the GHGs emission separated by local areas were a lot of different from Tier 1 and 2. The cause of difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 was that Korea annual oil statistics utilized data from a fuel supplier. The data does not reflect the reality of the location of end user.

Methane and nitrous oxide are main greenhouse gases from agricultural system and their global warming potential are 25 and 258 times stronger than that of $CO_2$, respectively. In 2016, the emission was $21,290Gg\;tone\;CO_2-eq$. which was emitted from agriculture sector and about 3.1% of total GHG emission of Korea. Those guidelines that were published by IPCC have methodology for GHGs emission calculation as well as emission factor and so on. For recent 5 years, GHGs emissions in Korea have calculated by MRV which has been improved every year based on IPCC guidelines. Analysis as estimating method improvement showed that the methane emissions from rice cultivation were the lowest on 2012 methodology, and the highest on 2014 methodology. On the other hand, the emissions of agricultural soils were the lowest on 2015 methodology and the highest on 2012 methodology. Total emissions from agriculture sector were the lowest on 2015 methodology and the highest on 2012 methodology. Compared with 2016 methodology, the GHGs emitted as few as $-1,865Gg\;tone\;CO_2-eq$ and as many as $2,717Gg\;tone\;CO_2-eq$. GHGs emissions can vary greatly, depending on how to use the emission factor and activity data. Therefore, it need constantly a detailed analysis for methodology and GHGs emission in the future.

The concern on the greenhouse gas emissions is increasing globally. Especially, the greenhouse gas emission from fisheries is an important issue from the Paris Climate Change Accord in 2015. Furthermore, the Korean government has a plan to reduce the GHG emissions as 4.8% compared to the BAU in fisheries until 2020. However, the investigation on the GHG emissions from Korean fisheries rarely carried out consistently. Therefore, the quantitative analysis of GHG emissions from Korean fishery industry is necessary as a first step to find a relevant way to reduce GHG emissions from fisheries. The purpose of this research is to investigate which degree of GHG emitted from the major offshore fisheries such as offshore gillnet fishery, offshore longline fishery, offshore jigging fishery and anchovy drag net fishery. Here, we calculated the GHG emissions from the fisheries using the Life Cycle Assessment method. The system boundary and input parameters for each process level are defined for the LCA analysis. The fuel use coefficients of the fisheries are also calculated according to the fuel type. The GHG emissions from sea activities by the fisheries will be dealt with. Furthermore, the GHG emissions for the unit weight of fishes are calculated with consideration to the different consuming areas as well. The results will be helpful to understand the circumstances of GHG emissions from Korean fisheries.

The concern on the greenhouse gas emission is strongly increasing globally. In fishery industry section, the greenhouse gas emissions are an important issue according to The Paris Climate Change Accord in 2015. The Korean government has a plan to reduce the GHG emissions as 4.8% compared to the BAU in fisheries until 2020. Furthermore, the Korean government has also declared to achieve the carbon neutrality in 2050 at the Climate Adaptation Summit 2021. However, the investigation on the GHG emissions from Korean fisheries did not carry out extensively. Most studies on GHG emissions from Korean fishery have dealt with the GHG emissions by fishery classification so far. However, follow-up studies related to GHG emissions from fisheries need to evaluate the GHG emission level by species to prepare the adoption of environmental labels and declarations (ISO 14020). The purpose of this research is to investigate which degree of GHG emitted to produce the species (hairtail and small yellow croaker) from various fisheries. Here, we calculated the GHG emission to produce the species from the fisheries using the Life Cycle Assessment method. The system boundary and input parameters for each process level are defined for the LCA analysis. The fuel use coefficients of the fisheries for the species are also calculated according to the fuel type. The GHG emissions from sea activities by the fisheries will be dealt with. Furthermore, the GHG emissions for producing the unit weight species and annual production are calculated by fishery classification. The results will be helpful to understand the circumstances of GHG emissions from Korean fisheries.

The interest in greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted from all industries is emerging as a very important issue worldwide. This is affecting not only the global warming, but also the environmentally friendly competitiveness of the industry. The fisheries sector is increasingly interested in greenhouse gas emissions also due to the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015. Korean industry and government are also making a number of effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions so far, but the effort to reduce GHG in the fishery sector is insufficient compared to other fields. Especially, the investigation on the GHG emissions from Korean fisheries did not carry out extensively. The studies on GHG emissions from Korean fishery are most likely dealt with the GHG emissions by fishery classification so far. However, the forthcoming research related to GHG emissions from fisheries is needed to evaluate the GHG emission level by species to prepare the adoption of Environmental labels and declarations (ISO 14020). The purpose of this research is to investigate which degree of GHG emitted to produce the species (swimming crab and snow crab) from various fisheries. Here, we calculated the GHG emission to produce the species from the fisheries using the life cycle assessment (LCA) method. The system boundary and input parameters for each process level are defined for LCA analysis. The fuel use coefficients of the fisheries for the species are also calculated according to the fuel type. The GHG emissions from sea activities by the fisheries will be dealt with. Furthermore, the GHG emissions for producing the unit weight species and annual production are calculated by fishery classification. The results will be helpful to establish the carbon footprint of seafood in Korea.

기후변화에 관한 정부간 합의체 (IPCC, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) 6차 보고서에서 이번 세기 중반까지 현 수준의 온실가스 배출량을 유지한다면 2021~2040년 중 1.5℃를 초과할 것이다. 이러한 기후의 변화로 인한 기온상승 영향으로 과거와는 달리 산림변화는 과거와 다르게 침엽수는 감소하고 활엽수는 증가하는 추세다. 본 연구에서는 유역 대부분이 산림으로 금강 상류의 용담댐유역 (930.2 km²)을 대상으로 SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool)을 이용하여 장기간 산림변화에 따른 수문 구성요소를 평가하였다. MOD15A2 LAI 및 임상도 자료를 10년 단위 (1980s (1980~1989), 2000s (2000~2009), 2010s (2010~2019))를 이용해 임상별 (침엽수림, 활엽수림, 혼효림) 및 산림 높이를 구축하였다. 임상별 산정된 LAI를 기초로 SWAT의 임상별 LAI 및 수문 검·보정을 통해 용담댐유역 현황을 재현하였다. 모형의 적용성 평가는 R²를 이용하였으며, 임상별 (침엽수, 활엽수, 혼효림) LAI는 0.95, 0.89, 0.90로 증발산량은 0.51, 토양수분은 0.5~0.55로 유량의 경우 0.69로 산정되었다. 산림변화에 따른 1980s는 LAI 자료가 없기에 2000s 및 2010s의 식생 높이 및 LAI를 멱함수로 회귀하여 1980s 엽면적지수를 산정하였다. 기상자료는 2010s로 고정하고 산림 성장이 물순환에 미치는 영향을 1980s 및 2010s의 수문 비교를 시공간적으로 평가할 예정이다.

Carbon neutrality in agriculture can be derived from systematic GHG reduction policies based on quantitative environmental impact analysis of GHG-emitting activities. This study is to explore how to advance the calculation of carbon emissions from agricultural activities to the detailed spatial level to a spatial Tier 3 level (Tier 2.5 level), methodologically beyond the Tier 2 approach. To estimate the GHG emissions beyond the Tier 2.5 level by region for detailed spatial units, we constructed available activity data on carbon emission impact factors such as rice cultivation, agricultural land use, and livestock. We also built and verified detailed data on emission activities at the field level through field surveys. The GHG emissions were estimated by applying the latest national emission factors and regional emission factors according to the IPCC 2019 GL based on the field-level activity data. This study has significance that it explored ways to build activity data and calculate GHG emissions through statistical data and field surveys based on parcels, one of the smallest spatial units for regional carbon reduction strategies. It is expected that by utilizing the activity data surveyed for each field and the emission factor considering the activity characteristics, it will be possible to improve the accuracy of GHG emission calculation and quantitatively evaluate the effect of applying reduction policies.

유채 재배 전과정이 환경에 미치는 영향을 전과정평가 기법으로 분석하였다. 유채재배 과정을 평가하기 위해 비료, 농약, 농기계 사용에 따른 에너지 소비량, 작업시간 등을 조사하여 평가의 기능 단위인 유채 1톤을 기준으로 분석하였다. Eco-Indicator 95방법으로 8개 영향범주에 대해 전과정영향을 평가한 결과 유채 1톤을 생산하는데 온실가스 216 kg $CO_2$-eq., 오존층 고갈 3.98E-05 kg CFC-11-eq., 산성화 1.78 kg $SO_2$-eq., 부영양화 0.28 kg $PO_4$-eq., 중금속 5.23E-03 kg Pb-eq., 발암 물질 2.51E-05 kg B(a)p-eq., 스모그 1.24 kg SPM-eq., 에너지자원 6,460 MJ LHV의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 중 90%가 화학비료에서 기인하는 것으로 분석되었다. 유채 생산량이 1 톤 증가하였을 경우에 대한 민감도 분석에서는 배출량은 동일하였으나 단위 면적당 생산량이 증가하여 유채 1톤에 대한 환경 부하는 22% 감소하는 것으로 평가되었다. 따라서 친환경농업 또는 자원순환농업을 통하여 화학비료의 사용량을 줄이면 유채 재배에 있어 농업부문 온실가스 배출량이 상당부분 감소될 것으로 판단되었다.

우리나라에서 에너지정책은 다양한 에너지 관련 계획들을 통해 구체화된다. 그런데 최근 비전으로서의 성격이 강한 상위계획에서 설정되는 부문별 목표가 지속적으로 상향 조정됨에 따라 상위계획과의 정합성을 유지해야 할 필요가 있는 (실행계획으로서의) 하위계획 수립에서 왜곡이 발생하고 있다. 이와 더불어 개별 하위계획 자체도 미래의 불확실성에 대응하여 계획의 유연성을 확보하는 측면에서 한계를 보이고 있다. 이러한 문제들은 잠재적으로 막대한 사회적 비용을 초래할 위험을 내포하고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 우리나라 에너지 계획의 수립 집행과 관련한 개선방안의 논의에 실증적인 근거를 제시하기 위해 실행계획 가운데 가장 중요하게 인식되고 있는 전력수급기본계획을 주된 분석대상으로 삼아, 전력수급기본계획 자체의 문제, 전력수급기본계획과 상위계획 간 정합성을 유지하는 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 문제를 논리적으로 설명하고, 현실적인 상황을 가정하여 그러한 문제들이 초래할 수 있는 사회적 비용의 규모를 추정하였다. 분석 결과, 전력수급기본계획 수립 시 최대전력이 실적치보다 7%(15%) 적게 추정되는 경우 2020년 기준으로 연간 발전비용이 약 2,860억원(1조 2,160억원) 증가하며, 이러한 사회적 비용은 상위계획인 국가에너지기본계획에서 설정한 미래 전력수요 목표치에 맞추어 전력수급기본계획이 수립 집행되는 경우에도 유사하게 발생함을 보였다. 또한 상위계획인 온실가스 감축 마스터플랜에서 전력부문에 부과하는 감축목표량이 과도하게 설정되어 탄소배출비용이 0일 경우의 적정 전원구성에서 발생하는 온실가스 배출량의 5%를 추가 감축해야 하는 경우에도 연간 발전비용은 2020년 기준으로 약 9,150억원 증가한다. 반면, 우리나라의 경우 전원별 경제성에 큰 차이가 존재하는 특성으로 인해 전력수급기본계획 수립 시 미래 $CO_2$ 가격의 불확실성이 초래하는 잠재적인 사회적 비용의 크기는 매우 작은 수준으로 분석되었다.
