Green IT, composed term with Green and Information Technology(IT), use IT for energy savings and carbon emission reductions. Green IT went beyond the scope of greening IT, and recently it's concept is expanded as far as counterplan of climate change including greening other industries by IT. 85% of total greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector and 20% of them comes from transport parts, so it is time to research IT for automotive industry. In this paper, we take up the knowledge based fuzzy logic to provide life cycle analysis associated with greenhouse gas emissions for industry produced warranty claims frequently such as automobile industry. We propose a analysis method of warranty claims using expert knowledge about the warranty in car exhaust systems related to greenhouse gas emissions, past test results of malfunction, analysis of past field data, and warranty data. Furthermore, we propose life knowledge-based GWS (Greenery Warranty System). We demonstrate the applicability of IT in eco-friendly automotive industry by implementing knowledge-based fuzzy logic and applying.

The global warming caused by consumption of fossil fuel and energy has been interested. Therefore, several policies and regulations have been discussed to reduce greenhouse gas emission and effective energy consumption. The construction industry that takes 45% of energy consumption makes efforts to develop green construction methods and materials and reuseable energy. However, there is no common definition to calculate greenhouse gas and database in the construction industry. Especially, transportation infrastructure like road, railway, harbor, and airport consumes 21% energy of construction facilities. Therefore, this paper develops the causal relationship to define performance of sustainable road construction and maintenance. The performance indices are grouped into economic, social, and envirionmental impacts. Then, the causal map is developed based on survey results of construction experts. This will provide the baseline to evaluate the performance of sustainable construction and to establish the objective goals.

Electric vehicles are environmentally friendly because they emit no exhaust gas, unlike gasoline automobiles. However, since they are driven by the electric power from batteries, the distance they can travel based on a single charge depends on their energy density. Therefore, the lithium-ion battery having a high energy density is a good candidate for the batteries of electric vehicles. Since the electrode is an essential component that governs their efficiency, the electrode manufacturing process plays a vital role in the entire production process of lithium-ion batteries. In particular, the coating process is a critical step in the manufacturing of the electrode, which has a significant influence on its performance. In this paper, we propose an innovative process for improving the efficiency and productivity of the coating process in electrode manufacturing and describe the equipment design method and development results. Specifically, we propose a design procedure and development method in order to improve the core plate coating quality by 25%, using a technology capable of reducing the assembly margin due to its high output/high capacity and improving the product capacity quality and assembly process yield. Using this method, the battery life of the lithium-ion battery cell was improved. Compared with the existing coating process, the target loading level is maintained and dispersed to maintain the anode capacity (${\pm}0.4{\rightarrow}{\pm}0.3mg/cm^2r$ reduction).

In this paper, the towing force for the LNG bunkering barge was investigated. Currently, LNG bunkering barge is being developed as an infrastructure for the bunkering of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas), an eco-friendly energy source. In the case of the LNG bunkering barge, self-propulsion is considered through retrofit from an operating point. Therefore, the LNG bunkering barge's shape is similar to that of the ship as compared to a towed barge, so a rule of the towed barge overestimates the towing force. In order to improve accuracy, the calm water resistance was calculated using ITTC 1978 method which considers wave resistance by the Rankine source method. The added resistance in waves was calculated using the modified radiated energy method which considers the shortwave correction method of NMRI. The performance of the towing resistances through the calm water resistance and the added resistance in waves was compared to rules associated with towed barges.

Green IT is a necessary technology to solve the energy and environmental problems and to increase the productivity of corporations. However, till now there were not the specific policies for individual industries so we have to establish several strategies for spread of Green IT and building green growing environment. In this paper, we proposed the road map for spread of green IT and deducing the strategic directions for domestic industries. Four types of green IT direction was identified and in each direction, several action plans were discovered. We formed an expert-committee to choose new green IT business models and selected some demonstration projects by measures of necessity, urgency and extensibility. The object, scope, classification and policy effect are wrote out and it will be helpful information to disseminate green IT.

Dinitramide ($N(NO_2)_2$) salts are one of plausible oxidizing agents for a high efficient propellant. Guanidine dinitramide (GDN) is an organic salt improving its stability against moisture, so that enables massive production and long term storage. Several types of GDN (GDN-1,2,3,4,5) were synthesized using some types of starting materials such as guanidine acetate, chloride, carbonate, nitrate and sulfate. As a result of the experimental work, synthesized GDN from the carbonate salt appeared fairly pure relatively higher yield (99%) than the other samples. The absorption wave length of all prepared GDNs by FTIR were found at 3452, 3402, 3354, 3278, 3208, 1642, 1570, 1492, 1416, 1337, 1179 and $1000cm^{-1}$. DSC analysis found a thermal phase change at $130^{\circ}C$, and indicated exothermic reaction at about $150^{\circ}C$ to $160^{\circ}C$.

Since 1990s, the major recycling methods for mechanical recycling of FRP(Fiber Reinforced Plastics)boats has involved shredding and grinding of the scrap FRP in a new recycled product. But still it leads to secondary problem such as air pollution, unacceptable shredding noise level and few limited applications. This study is to propose a newly advanced method which is more efficient and environment friendly waste FRP regenerating system. As extracting FRP layer and making the recycled fiber for recycled-fiber reinforced concrete(RFRC) from waste FRP, the recycling process has some merits in a sense of the recycling energy and the environmental effects. In this study, for those tasks, spectro-chemical differentiation method and coloring water-soluble dye treatment makes the roving layer more distinguishable photophysically. Also that has remarkably reduced safety hazards and energy. Using the mechanical properties of polymers and composite, FRP with the orthotropic and laminated plastic structure has been easily separated in the new extracting system. Also the new method has introduced five kind of separating manuals for the some different compositions of FRP boats. The roving fiber of laminated glass-fiber layer is as good as the polyvinyl fiber which is cost-high commercial fiber to increasing strength of concrete products. The early study has shown the effectiveness of laminated glass-fiber layer which also is chemical-resistant due to the resin coating. These results imply that more efficient and environment friendly recycled glass fiber can be better applied to the fiber reinforced concrete(FRC) substitute and this study also has shown wide concrete applications with RFRC from the waste FRP boat.

기계 가공품의 정밀화, 경량화 요구로 난색재로 분류되는 비철분야 및 복합재 가공용 공구개발에 대한 수요가 급증하고 있으나, 기존 난삭재 가공 시 절삭공구의 마모가 빠르고, 상대재의 융착 불량 등이 공구 수명 감소의 주요 영향으로 보고된다. 상기문제를 해결하기 위해 절삭가공 공정 중 과다한 절삭유의 사용에 따른 가공비용, 에너지소모 증가, 환경오염 등으로 절삭유의 최소화 또는 절삭유를 사용하지 않는 표면처리기술등의 친환경 가공기술의 개발이 필요하다. 내융착 및 내마모 특성 향상을 위한 표면코팅 방법으로 수소가 포함되지 않은 고경도 비정질 카본 (ta-C)이 있으나, ta-C 코팅 막은 경도 30 - 80 GPa, 잔류응력 3 - 10 GPa 범위로 일반 경질 코팅 막 (AlTiN, TiSiCrN : 평균 3 GPa)에 비해 높고 산업적 활용이 가능한 0.5 - 1.5 um 두께 수준의 후막화가 힘들어 매우 우수한 절삭공구용 코팅 막 특성에도 불구하고 적용사례가 매우 적다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 아크플라즈마 방식 (Filtered Cathode Vacuum Arc Plasma, FCVA)을 활용한 고경도/무수소 카본 코팅 막을 후막형태로 증착하여 비철금속가공용 절삭 공구류의 수명향상 기법을 제시하고자 한다. ta-C 코팅 막의 기초 공정개발 단계에서는 바이어스 전압, 공정시간을 달리하여 ta-C 코팅 막의 기계적 물성(경도: $50{\pm}3GPa$, 잔류응력: $6{\pm}1GPa$, 밀착력: 30N 이상 및 트라이볼로지 특성: 마찰계수 0.1 이하, 마멸량: $1.85{\times}10-14mm^3$)을 확보하여 절삭공구로의 공정실용화 적용검토를 실시하였다. ta-C 코팅 막은 (1) WC 공구 및 기존 상용품인 (2) TiAlN/TiN/WC 구조에 대해 증착을 실시하였으며 코팅 막의 두께 변화에 따른 실제 절삭환경에서의 내수명 관측을 진행하였다. 시험결과, ta-C/WC의 단일막 구조인 절삭공구의 경우, 실제 절삭환경에서 쉽게 박리가 발생하여 코팅 막으로서의 효과를 나타내지 못하였다. 이는, 기초 공정개발 단계에서의 밀착력 기준이 실제 환경과 부합하지 않는 것을 의미하며 추후 공정개선을 통해 극복하고자 한다. 반면에, 상용품인 (2) TiAlN/TiN/WC 구조의 절삭공구 대비 ta-C/TiAlN/TiN/WC 구조에서 내수명 증가는 약 2.5배 (기존 300회, 코팅 후 800회)로 증가하였으며 ta-C 코팅 막의 두께가 $0.6-0.8{\mu}m$일 때 최대치를 취한 후 감소하였다. 이를 통해, 절삭공구로의 ta-C 코팅 막 효과는 최외각 층의 두께 범위와 모재 강도보강을 할 수 있는 적절한 중간층 막 (TiN/TiAlN 층)이 혼합되어 나타난 것으로 사료되며 현재 산업계로의 적용을 위한 대량생산용 코팅장비의 개발 및 비용절감을 위한 공정개발이 진행 중이다.

To respond to the threat of global warming, countries around the world are promoting the spread of renewable energy and reduction of carbon emissions. In accordance with the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goal to combat climate change and its impacts, global automakers are pushing for a full transition to electric vehicles within the next 10 years. Electric vehicles can be a useful means for reducing carbon emissions, but in order to reduce carbon generated in the stage of producing electricity for charging, a power generation system using eco-friendly renewable energy is required. In this study, we propose a smart electric mobility operating system integrated with off-grid solar power plants established in Tanzania, Africa. By applying smart monitoring and communication functions based on Arduino-based computing devices, information such as remaining battery capacity, battery status, location, speed, altitude, and road conditions of an electric vehicle or electric motorcycle is monitored. In addition, we present a scenario that communicates with the surrounding independent solar power plant infrastructure to predict the drivable distance and optimize the charging schedule and route to the destination. The feasibility of the proposed system was verified through test runs of electric motorcycles. In considering local environmental characteristics in Tanzania for the operation of the electric mobility system, factors such as eco-friendliness, economic feasibility, ease of operation, and compatibility should be weighed. The smart electric mobility operating system proposed in this study can be an important basis for implementing the SDGs' climate change response.
