The Korean government attempts to reduce $CO_2$ emissions by 37% to 314.7 Mt $CO_2$, down from the estimated 850.6 Mt $CO_2$ until 2030 in order to confront green house effect. In this context, in 2014, Korean government launched $CO_2$ Storage Environmental Management Research (K-COSEM) Center for carrying out pilot-scale research on $CO_2$ leakage from underground $CO_2$ storage facilities. For the detection of $CO_2$ leakage, it is necessary to identify hydrologeological and geophysical characteristics of the subject area. In the study site of Naesan-ri, Daeso-myeon, Eumseong-gun, Chungbuk Province, two times injection tests (June 28-July 24, 2017 and August 07-September 11, 2017) of $CO_2$ and $SF_6$ dissolved waters, respectively, was conducted to understand the leakage behavior of $CO_2$ from underground. The injection well was drilled to a depth of 24 m with a 21-m casing and screen interval of 21~24 m depth. Two times resistivity surveys on August 18, 2017 and September 1, 2017, were conducted for revealing the flow of the injected water as well as the electrical properties of the study site. The study results have shown that the high-resistivity zone and the low-resistivity zone are clearly contrasted with each other and the flow direction of the injected water is similar to natural groundwater flow. Besides, the low resistivity zone is widely formed from the depth of injection to the shallow topsoil, indicating that the weathered zone of high permeability has high $CO_2$ leakage potential.

As climate change is becoming the main issue, various efforts are focused on saving building energy consumption both at home and abroad. In particular, it is very important to save energy by maintenance, repair and rehabilitation of existing multi-family housing complex, because energy consumption in residential buildings is not only forming a great part of gross energy consumption in Korea but the number of deteriorated complexes is also sharply increasing. However, energy saving is not considered as a main factor in decision making on rehabilitation project. Also, any supporting tool is not appropriately prepared in existing process. As the first step for development of decision support system on rehabilitation, this paper developed a breakdown structure, which makes clusters of multi-family housing complexes. Decision tree, one of data mining methods, was used to make clusters based on the characteristics and energy consumption data of multi-family housing complexes. Energy saving and CO2 reduction will be maximized by considering energy consumption during rehabilitation process of multi-family housing complex, based on these results and following research.

Green logistics is regarded as an inevitable global trend in the 21st century. It can be accomplished through more broad and active reverse logistics globally, resulting in use of less fossil fuels, finally reducing carbon dioxide and other pollutants. Many countries such as U.S., Japan, EU nations have already set up policies related to carbon reduction, so-called 'green policies.' This paper aims to identify evaluation criteria for logistics policies and relative importance among those criteria, especially in the field of ports and in-land hub terminals. We examined projects related to carbon reduction from domestic and foreign ports and logistics centers and found evaluation factors and assessment indicators. With pre-evaluative items and pre-assessment indicators, we have done a survey and selected evaluation factors and assessment indicators for ports and inland hub terminals in Korea. By analyzing the mutual importance of each pre-evaluative items and pre-assessment indicators related to carbon reduction policies, this research provides guidelines on selecting the key items for the propulsion of carbon reduction projects. This study shows the importance of preliminary evaluation items and indexes with AHP in evaluating carbon reduction policies and the result shows the restrictions and change in transportation and use of alternative fuels. Lastly, it provides a guideline to policy-makers and firm managers in the field of green logistics.

Due to the climate crisis, various environmental regulations including greenhouse gas reduction are in effect. This is not limited to any specific industry sector, but is affecting the entire industry worldwide. For this reason, the IMO and governments of each country are announcing strategies and policies related to the shipbuilding and shipping industries. The current regulations can be partially resolved through additional facilities such as scrubbers while using existing fossil fuels, but ultimately, the emission of greenhouse gases such as CO2 from the exhaust gases generated by ships must be restricted through energy conversion. To this end, it is necessary to develop fuels that can replace traditional fuels such as oil and natural gas. Among them, hydrogen is attracting attention as a clean energy that does not emit pollutants when used as a fuel. However, hydrogen has a wide explosive range and a fast dispersion speed, so research on this is necessary. Therefore, in this paper, when hydrogen leakage occurs in the fuel preparation room of a hydrogen-powered ship, the trend was analyzed and the ventilation characteristics were investigated.

The low-carbon freight transportation system was introduced due to increase traffic congestion cost and carbon-dioxide for global climate change according to expanding city logistics demands. It is necessary to create 3D-based road network map for representing realistic road geometry with consideration of fuel consumption and carbon emissions. This study propose that 3D road network model expressed to realistic topography and road structure within trunk road for intercity freight through overlaying 2D-based transport-related thematic map and 1m-resolution DEM. The 3D-based road network map for the experimental road sections(Pyeongtaek harbor-Uiwang IC) was verified by GPS/INS survey and fuel consumption simulation. The results corresponded to effectively reflect realistic road geometry (RMSE=0.87m) except some complex structure such as overpass, and also actual fuel consumption. We expect that Green-based freight route planning and navigation system reflected on 3D geometry of complex road structure will be developed for effectively resolving energy and environmental problems.

지구온난화의 주범으로 알려진 $CO_2$의 대기 중 농도는 산업혁명 이전 280ppm에서 산업 혁명 이후 375ppm으로 증가하였다. 정부 간 기후변화패널(IPCC)의 기후변화 시나리오에 의하면, 지금부터 다양한 감축노력을 한다 할지라도 $CO_2$ 증가추세는 계속되어 2100년경에는 대기 중 $CO_2$농도가 600~950ppm에 이를 것으로 예측하고 있다. 현재까지 화력발전부분은 온실가스($CO_2$)의 최대 배출 원으로 알려져 있으며 이 분야의 $CO_2$ 회수기술은 연소 후 포집(Post-combustion), 순산소 연소(Oxy-fuel combustion), 연소 전 탈탄소화(Pre-combustion) 3가지로 크게 구분된다. 이중 석탄가스화복합발전(IGCC)기술과 연계하여 $CO_2$를 회수할 수 있는 방법이 연소 전 탈탄소화 기술이다. 핵심기술은 $CO_2$ 분리공정으로 적용 될 수 있는 기술로서는 흡착 흡수법, 막분리법 그리고 가스 하이드레이트가 있으나 아직까지 우리나라의 가스 하이드레이트 기술은 전무한 형편이다. 본 연구에서는 가스 하이드레이트 형성원리를 이용하여 정온 정압 조건에서 $CO_2/H_2$ 하이드레이트를 제조하였으며 특히, 하이드레이트 형성 촉진제인 TBAB(Tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide)를 첨가하여 TBAB 농도에 따른 상평형 및 속도론 실험을 수행 하였다. 또한 라만 분석을 통하여 $CO_2$ 회수 분리에 대한 연구도 병행하였다.

본 연구에서는 수질관리 및 기후변화(온실가스 저감) 등에 부응할 수 있는 SRI 벼재배 방법을 국내 논에 적용하여 농업비점오염원과 온실가스 저감효과를 측정하고 비교하여 SRI의 환경개선효과를 평가하고자 하였다. 시험포는 대조구인 상시담수처리구(관행, 재식거리 $30{\times}15cm$)와 SRI 물관리 처리구로 조성하였다. 각 시험포에는 관개배수시설 및 관개량을 측정할 수 있는 수도계량기, 유출량 측정을 위한 플륨 및 수위계 그리고 온실가스(메탄 및 이산화질소)를 측정하기 위한 아크릴재질의 Chamber를 설치하였다. 관행 및 SRI 시험포에 이앙할 모의 재배품종으로 오대벼를 공시하고 모든 시험포의 경우 1주당 3-5본씩 기계이앙을 실시하였으며, 물관리를 제외한 시비와 제초 등의 영농관리는 동일하게 수행하였다. 메탄($CH_4$)과 아산화질소($N_2O$)는 주 2회, 오전 9시 12시에 60 mL 주사기로 주기적으로 시료를 채취하여 GC로 분석하였다. 그리고 관개기간동안 관개량, 강우량 그리고 강우 유출량을 측정하고 수질시료를 채취하여 오염부하를 산정하였다. SRI 시험포의 SS, $COD_{Cr}$, $COD_{Mn}$, BOD, TN, TP의 총 오염부하량은 각각 583 kg/ha, 210.8 kg/ha, 70.1 kg/ha, 30.7 kg/ha, 56.1 kg/ha, 3.55 kg/ha로서 관행 시험포의 오염부하량에 비해 27.1~46.0%의 오염물질 저감 효과를 보였다. 그리고 각 시험포별 온실가스 메탄과 아산화질소의 총 배출량을 지구온난화잠재력(GWP)으로 환산하여 이산화탄소($CO_2$) 기준으로 산정한 결과, 관행은 14.2 톤/ha 그리고 SRI 물관리 처리구 4.0 톤/ha로 관행 대비 SRI 처리구에서 71.8%의 온실가스 감축효과를 나타내었다. 따라서 SRI 벼재배기술은 논 비점오염부하 및 온실가스 저감을 위한 효과적인 최적영농관리방법인 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, the world's countries are tightening regulations on CO2 and air pollutants emission to solve them. In addition, eco friendly vehicles is increasing to replace automobiles in internal combustion engine. The government is supporting the expansion of hydrogen refueling infrastructure according to the hydrogen economy road map. In particular, refueling station is important to secure the safety that supplies high-pressure hydrogen with a wide LFL range. This paper is on guidelines for the determination safety distances to ensure worker safety from accident as jet fire. The safety distance is set according to the procedure of the EIGA doc 075/21. For accident frequency is upper 3.5E-05 per annum, safety distance is decided via consequence analysis where the risk of harm is below individual harm exposure threshold.
