Compared to the EU, which legislates the Carbon Border Adjustment System (CBAM), the United States' carbon border adjustment policy movement is still relatively slow. Recently, however, a related bill has been proposed in the United States, and research institutes have been presenting research results on how to introduce an upstream carbon tax rather than an emission trading system and carry out carbon border adjustment based on it. Therefore, in this study, we looked at the economic and environmental effects of introducing this type of upstream carbon tax and carbon border adjustment in Korea. If an upstream carbon tax of KRW 30,000 per ton of CO₂ is applied to the net supply of domestic fossil energy, the expected carbon tax revenue is approximately KRW 22.9961 trillion, equivalent to about 5.7% of the total revenue of the Korean government of KRW 402 trillion in 2019. In addition, the carbon dioxide content of the steel sector, calculated based on the energy supply and demand status of the steel sector, which emits the most greenhouse gas emissions in Korea and has a considerable amount of overseas exports, was 106.22 million tons of CO₂. On the other hand, assuming that the upstream carbon tax of 30,000 won per ton of CO₂ embodied is directly passed on to the production cost of the steel sector, the carbon tax burden in the steel sector is estimated to reach approximately KRW 3.1865 trillion. Even after deducting KRW 1.1599 trillion in export refunds estimated by using the share of exports of steel products, the net carbon tax burden on steel products for domestic demand amounts to KRW 2.0266 trillion, which is analyzed to act as a factor in increasing the price of steel products.

Pseudomonas oleovorans was cultivated to produce medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoates (MCL-PHA) fram octanoic acid and ammonium nitrate as carbon and nitrogen source, respectively, by a pH-stat fed-batch culture technique. The octanoate concentration of the culture broth was maintained below 4 g/L by feeding the mixture of octanoic acid and ammonium nitrate when the culture pH rose above high limit. The effect of the ratio of octanoic acid to ammonium nitrate (C/N ratio) in the feed on the PHA production was examined. The final cell concentrations of 62.5, 54.7, and 9.5 g/L, PHA contents of 62.9, 75.1, and 67.6% of dry cell weight, and productivities of 1.03, 0.632, and 0.161 g/L/h were obtained when the C/N ratio in the feed were 10, 20, and 100 g octanoic acid/g ammonium nitrate, respectively.

The effect of culture parameters on the production of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides growth inhibitory substance from Bacillus subtilis was investigated. The maximal growth inhibition zone was observed in the medium of pH 7.0. Among the tested carbon sources, glucose showed the largest growth inhibition zone above two fold than other carbon sources. Ammonium sulfate and organic nitrogen sources were effective on the production of growth inhibitory substance. Luria Bertani (LB) medium was the best on the production of antifungal substance from B. subtilis.

The effects of carbon, nitrogen sources and culture conditions on glucoamylase production from Aspergillus sp. were investigated. Among tested carbon sources, soluble starch was most effective for the production of the enzyme, and the level of concentration for the optimal enzyme production was found to be 5%. For nitrogen sources, yeast extract was best for the enzyme production, with the level of 0.1%. The enzyme was maximally produced by cultivating the organism at medium of initial pH 6.0, and temperature of 28$^{\circ}C$. Wheat bran was most suitable for the enzyme production from the organism in solid state culture.

Hydrogen producing bacterium, strain AS12 was isolated from the sludge of the anaerobic wastewater treatment process of south sewage treatment plant, Busan city. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA sequence studies indicated that AS12 belonged to the genus Escherichia coli sp.. The optimum temperature and pH for hydrogen production were $35^{\circ}C$ and 8.0, respectively. The impact of the types and concentrations of carbon and nitrogen sources in the media on hydrogen production was investigated. The optimum carbon and nitrogen concentrations were 10 g/L of galactose and 5 g/L of peptone, respectively.
