Recently green house gas emission problem has been issued because $CO_2$ emission is known to cause global warming. Hence, introduces more stringent emission and fuel economy requirements in various countries, including Korea. In this research, $CO_2$ emission factor characteristics of in-use cars, which are the most dominant vehicle type in Korea, were studied, and 129 gasoline vehicles, 100 diesel vehicles, and 34 LPG vehicles were tested on a chassis dynamometer. In the tests, CO and $CO_2$ emissions as well as fuel reduction rates weremeasured. The tests were conducted in the CVS-75 mode, which has been considered for developing emission factors for regulating emissions from light-duty vehicles in Korea. Through experiments, correlations among displacement, fuel consumption efficiency, fuel type, mileage, driving pattern, and $CO_2$ emission were investigated.

Recently, decarbonization has been emphasized worldwide to cope with climate change, and carbon neutrality by 2050 has emerged as a global agenda. The domestic port authorities have been participating in the global agenda in line with the government regulations. Since 2010, when decarbonization has been regarded as an important assignment in ports, container terminal efficiency considering undesirable outputs such as Carbon dioxide has been analyzed. However, most previous studies measured carbon dioxide emissions according to the Tier 1 and it is a first time to analyze container terminal efficiency based on the Tier 3 presented in the IPCC guidelines. 17 domestic container terminal operators were considered as decision making units and DEA-SBM Model was used. Subsequently, Undesirable outputs model was conducted to calculate the environmental efficiency.

Recently, there has been a global emphasis on decarbonization in order to address climate change and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. In line with government regulations, domestic port authorities have also started participating in this global agenda. Since 2010, when decarbonization became an important task in ports, there have been studies analyzing the environmental efficiency of container terminals, taking into account undesirable outputs. However, most of these previous studies only measured carbon dioxide emissions based on Tier 1, whereas this study is the first to analyze the environmental efficiency of South Korea's container terminals based on Tier 3, as presented in the IPCC guidelines. The study considered 17 container terminal operators in South Korea as decision-making units and used the DEA-SBM Model. Subsequently, an Undesirable Outputs Model was conducted to calculate the environmental efficiency.

본 논문은 지구의 지속적인 발전을 위해서 지구환경문제인 지구온난화 방지에 대한 방법으로 이산화탄소 저감을 위한 방안에 관해서 검토하였다. 지속가능성을 위협하고 있는 빈부의 격차를 축소하고 동시에 지구온난화에 대한 환경개선을 국제적인 틀 안에서 환경비교우위에 기초한 산업구조의 조정과 공동이행활동이라고 하는 방안을 제안하고, 이러한 방안에 관해서 분석평가하고 비교한 것이다. 구체적으로는 이산화탄소 문제를 지구 전체 문제라고 가정하고 방안을 강구하였다. 국가간의 GNP와 고용에 미치는 영향은 최소한으로 하면서 이산화탄소 배출량을 줄이는 양국의 산업구조를 명확하게 한 것이다. 더욱이 남북문제도 동시에 해결한다는 것에 착안해서 이론전개를 하고 있다. 따라서, 여기서는 환경비교우위의 개념을 응용해서 부가가치단위당 이산화탄소 배출이 상대적으로 적은 부문(환경적 우위 부문)에 생산을 특화하고 이것과 반대의 환경적 열위부문에 대해서는 상대국으로부터 수입에 의존하는 것에서 국제적으로 이산화탄소 배출이 적은 산업의 재배치를 실현하는 것이 가능하다라고 하는 논리전개로부터 그 결과를 명확하게 하였다. 또한, 지구환경개선을 목표로 하는 또 하나의 전략인 공동이행활동에 관해서 분석하였다. 이것에 관해서는 경제적으로 온실효과가스를 줄인다는 것뿐만 아니라 선진국에서 개발도상국으로의 기술이전을 촉진하고 남북격차를 시정한다는 점에서 기대가 크다는 것에 착안하고 게임이론을 통해 일본과 중국의 실제 데이터를 사용하여 공동이행활동의 가능성을 평가하였다. 이러한 두 가지 방책의 특징을 검토하여 효율적인 방안을 제시하고 그 방안에 대하여 고안하고 시뮬레이션 분석을 하였다. 그 결과 융합방안에서는 상술한 환경비교우위의 정학적 분석결과와 공동이행의 게임분석결과를 고려하고 확장된 공동이행 게임의 균형점까지 자원의 원조를 한다는 전제조건하에서 2010년까지 이산화탄소 배출량 추이를 산정한 결과 융합방안이 보다 효율적이라는 것이 판명되었다. 이러한 내용을 바탕으로 본 논문에서는 현재 지구 온난화 문제의 해결에 있어서 걸림돌이 되고 있는 남북문제의 격차와 협력에 관한 곤란한 문제에 착안해서 환경적 우위와 융합방안이라고 하는 새로운 방안을 제안하였다. 그리고 각각의 방안에 대해서 상세히 분석하고 일본과 중국을 모델로 실제 정책으로의 실현가능성을 분석하였다.

지구 온난화 문제의 심각성이 대두되면서 이산화탄소 저감 기술에 대한 관심이 증폭되고 있다. 가장 이상적인 방법은 탄소가 포함되지 않은 청정 재생 에너지원이지만, 에너지 공급 규모 면에서 보면 근미래에도 화석 연료가 에너지 수요에 대한 주요 공급원으로 남아있을 것이라는 의견이 지배적이다. 많은 화석 연료 중 천연가스는 탄소 배출량이 가장 적은 청정 연료로 지난 10년간 수요가 폭발적으로 증가해왔다. 이를 고려해볼 때 탄소 배출량이 적은 천연가스를 생산하면서 이산화탄소를 격리 시킬 수 있는 기술은 매우 매력적이다. 본 연구에서는 심해저의 메탄 하이드레이트로 부터 천연가스를 생산하는 기술로서 이산화탄소와 질소의 혼합 가스를 사용하는 기술 개발의 일환으로 혼합 가스에 의한 메탄 하이드레이트 해리 속도를 $^{13}C$ NMR을 이용해 측정한 결과를 제시하고자 한다.

국내 A군에서 운영중인 한 쓰레기 매립지에서 배출되는 침출수와 주변 지하수를 채취하여 화학분석과 동위원소 분석을 실시하였다. 그리고 생활 쓰레기가 분해되는 과정에서 생성되는 가스들을 채집하여 동위원소 분석을 실시하였다. 유기물 분해로 생성된 이산화탄소는 일차적으로 침출수의 알칼리도를 높이고 이차적으로 일어나는 이산화탄소의 환원작용에 의하여 메탄가스가 형성되었다. 이러한 과정에서 침출수내의 용존무기탄소(DIC)의 탄소 동위원소 조성이 부화되었으며, 아울러 생성된 메탄과의 수소 동위원소 교환반응에 의하여 침출수의 수소 동위원소 조성이 크게 부화되는 특징이 관찰 되었다. 쓰레기장에서 발생되는 혼합가스에서 이산화탄소를 분리하여 탄소 동위원소 조성을 분석해 본 결과 새로운 매립지 보다 오래된 매립지에서 배출되는 이산화탄소의 탄소 동위원소 조성이 부화되는 특징이 관찰되었다.

The most basic matter to establish forest carbon circulation village is statistic on greenhouse gas emissions. But currently, although there is statistic on greenhouse gas emissions in the level of city or province, there is not statistic on greenhouse gas emission in village unit. According to the results, The model area is located in Seobyeok-ri, Chunyang-myeon, Bonghwa-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, the total $CO_2$emissions caused by energy used in the model area was $1,755tCO_2$. Heating accounts for 55% of total emissions followed by 23% for power and 22% for vehicles. The model area emitted $572tCO_2$ due to rice growing and livestock raising, accounting for approximately 24.5% of total $CO_2$ emissions. It is expected that a reduction of as much as $884tCO_2$ emissions will be made from the current $964tCO_2$ to a level of 1/12th that amount, or $80tCO_2$ by replacing heating energy currently used in the model area with wood bioenergy such as wood chips or pellets. In addition, carbon emission reduction is expected for both heating and power by replacing the power consumption in houses, buildings, and street lights with solar power.

The purpose of this work is to investigate correlation between $CO_2$ concentration and NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) in North East Asia. Geographically weighted regression techniques were used to evaluate the spatial relationships between GOSAT (Greenhouse Observing SATellite) $CO_2$ measurement and MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) vegetation index. The results reveals that $CO_2$ concentration to be negatively associated with NDVI. The analysis of Global Morans' I index and Anselin Local Morasn's I showed spatial autocorrelation between the overall spatial pattern of $CO_2$ and NDVI. Ultimately, there were clustered patterns in both data sets. The results show that carbon dioxide concentration shows non-random distribution patterns in relation to NDVI clusters, which proves that intense development activities such as deforestation are influencing carbon dioxide emission across the area of analysis. However, as the concentration of carbon dioxide varies depending on a variety of factors such as artificial sources, plant respiration, and the absorption and discharge of the ocean, follow-up studies are required to evaluate the correlations among more related variables.

Oxygen($O_2$) consumption and carbon dioxide($CO_2$) excretion of a fertile chicken egg during incubation were measured by a gas mass spectrometer. A closed sample chamber was developed to collect gas samples during the 20 days of artificial incubation of both a fertile and an infertile egg. After leaving an egg in the sample chamber for an hour, using a gas-tight syringe, samples of 2 mL of gas were collected from the closed sample chamber and analyzed using a gas mass spectrometer in 2~4 day intervals. The $O_2$ consumption and $CO_2$ excretion of chicken embryos increased rapidly after 10 days from the starting point of incubation. After 20 days, 23 mL of $O_2$ was consumed and 16 mL of $CO_2$ was excreted per hour. Throughout the whole period of incubation, concentration of $O_2$ decreased 4.3 mol% and $CO_2$ increased only 3.1 mole%, i.e., the mole of consumed $O_2$ and the mole of excreted $CO_2$ were not the same. On the other hand, during the same period, concentration of $N_2$ increased about 1.3 mol% and the increased mole fraction of $N_2$ was comparable with the difference (1.2 mol%) between the mole fraction of consumed $O_2$ and excreted $CO_2$. Therefore, we can attribute the increase of $N_2$ mole% to the difference of mole fraction between consumed $O_2$ and excreted $CO_2$. In this study, through the analysis of gas, we could explain the respiration of a fertile chicken egg during incubation.

The increase of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) emission is known as one of the major causes of global warming, and it has a strong influence on the global environment. Therefore many researchers and politicians have tried to regulate the $CO_2$ emission. In regards to the matter, the IMPACT (Inclusive Marine Pressure Assesment and Classification Technology) committee under the Japan Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers (JASNAOE) has developed an inclusive environmental impact assessment index, so-called "Triple I(III)", in order to assess the environmental impact including economic factors due to the artificial development of marine. In this study, III was applied to compare between the environmental impact of $CO_2$ emitted by container vessels during their life-cycle period and economic benefit due to their operating. Furthermore, III was also applied to assess the comprehensive environmental impact for the cases with various capacities of container vessels and different sailing route. From the results, the case for shortening of the sailing route is more effective to get the advantageous assessment results of III than the case for varying the size of vessels.
