As part of measures to address the climate crisis, buses are also being converted to electric and hydrogen buses. Local authorities need to prioritize carbon emissions when allocating newly introduced and converted electric and hydrogen buses, and as a method, consider the introduction of Low Emission Bus Zones (LEBZ) to propose the reduction of pollution from specific links. To introduce LEBZ, it is necessary to compare the carbon emissions before and after its implementation, yet there is a shortage of studies that focus solely on buses or analyze the effects of introducing LEBZ to specific links. In this paper, we utilized bus information system data to calculate and compare the effects of introducing LEBZ to bus priority lanes in Jeju. We categorized scenarios into five groups, with scenarios 1 through 4 involving the introduction of LEBZ, and scenario 5 designating cases where LEBZ was not introduced. Comparative results confirmed that in scenarios with LEBZ introduction, the reduction per km reached a maximum of 0.097t per km, whereas in cases without LEBZ, it amounted to 0.022t per km, demonstrating higher efficiency. It underscores the significance of conducting carbon emission calculations and comparing the effects of LEBZ introduction using bus information system data, which can be directly applied by local authorities to make informed and rational decisions.

The deactivated diesel oxidation catalyst(DOC) was remanufactured by ultrasonic wave treatment with various solutions, followed by active component re-impregnation. The catalytic performance and surface properties of remanufactured DOC were studied at various remanufacturing conditions. The proper ultrasonic-wave cleaning time at various solutions and optimal re-impregnation amounts of active component for the best catalytic performance were investigated. The catalytic performance tests on the conversions of CO and THC(total hydrocarbon) were also carried out at various temperatures by catalytic reaction test unit using bypass gas from the diesel engine dynamo system. It was found that the catalytic performance of DOC remanufactured with the high-temperature air washing, ultrasonic wave cleaning at acidic/basic solutions and active component re-impregnation method was recovered to 90% level of its activity compared to that of the fresh DOC, which was caused by removing the deactivating materials from the surface of the DOC through the analyses of catalyst performance test and their characterization by Optical microscope, EDX, ICP, TGA, and porosimeter.

The way we work is changing significantly with the rapid development of digitaltechnology, and paper documents are being replaced by electronic documents. However, in accordance with the Enforcement Decree and Enforcement Regulation of the Environmental Impact Assessment Act, the environmental impact assessment report must submit a set number of paper reports to organizations related to the project, and about 42 years have passed since it was submitted as a paperreport. In 2022, the National Institute of Ecology introduced a system to review paperreports as electronic documents in line with the trend of digital transformation. The cost reduction and carbon emission reduction effects of electronic document review were analyzed for 1,398 environmental impact assessments submitted and reviewed in 2022. In addition, a satisfaction survey was conducted targeting type 1 environmental impact assessment companies that were directly affected, and a total of 134 people responded. As a result of analyzing the effect of reviewing electronic documents, costs are reduced by a total of 101,424,900 won per year and carbon emissions are reduced by about 59.7 tons. As a result of the satisfaction survey, 94.8% of the respondents said electronic documentreview was very helpful, and 4.5% said it was helpful. The effectiveness of electronic documentreview was high, with 94.8% of respondents saying it was helpful in economic terms and 91.8% saying it was helpful in reducing work hours. If electronic documents are reviewed through the revisions to the Enforcement Decree and Enforcement Regulation of the Environmental Impact Assessment Act, the implementation of electronic document review is expected to have a ripple effect across the country, not only reducing costs and carbon emissions, but also reducing administrative time and saving storage space. Rapid changes in law and administration are needed to adapt to the digital transformation era.

The development of the information on the internet brought a lot of changes in the real estate market. Because the real estate has local distinctiveness and individuality household who want to move must to visit place for housing information. But now household use internet real estate information at every decision-moving step and that is able to reduce not only the cost of real estate information but also social benefit like $CO_2$ emissions reduction effect. In this study, I analyzed the effect of $CO_2$ emissions reduction with Seoul household residential mobility data when household take informations from internet real estate site. As increasing a single family who is good at internet service, the effect of $CO_2$ reduction from the development of the Internet real estate information has more increased.

Emission Trading (ET) among Annex I countries as expounded in Kyoto mechanism can be an effective mean to control Greenhouse Gases(GHGs), particularly $CO_2$ emissions from fossil fuels. For the international ET to be an effective tool to reduce the global emissions, however, it presupposes that there are no carbon leakage, i.e. Annex I emitters will purchase emission permits if emitting above caps, rather than importing emission-intensive goods from non-Annex I countries thus inducing the foreigners to emit instead. The extent to which a country leaks carbon through trade can be revealed by its bilateral balance of current accounts and related Balance of Emissions Embodied in Trade (BEET) supplemented by Emission Terms of Trade (ETT). Earlier studies on BEET and ETT relied on few selected countries in a partial equilibrium context, Korea being treated as insignificant though she is not a minor emitter. This paper is an attempt to examine BEET in the global CGE framework and to compare its structural difference across countries, with a special emphasis on South Korea.

최근 급격한 경제성장과 고도 산업사회로의 전환에 따라 에너지 수요가 크게 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 석유, 가스 등 화석에너지의 소비량과 온실가스 배출량이 급격히 늘어나고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 화석에너지의 소비와 온실가스 배출을 저감시키기 위해 친환경적인 에너지를 이용하기 위한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 이와 같은 노력 중 하나가 바로 태양열에너지를 이용하는 방법이다. 태양열에너지는 자원 고갈의 우려가 없고, 에너지의 이용 과정에서 공해 물질을 배출하지 않아 대체 에너지원으로 각광을 받고 있다. 하지만 에너지 밀도가 낮고 에너지의 공급이 기상조건에 따라 큰 영향을 받으므로 태양열에너지를 이용하기 위해서는 효율적인 집열시스템이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우수한 열적특성을 가진 탄소나노유체를 히트파이프 작동유체에 적용하여, 태양열 집열기의 효율을 향상시키기 위해 탄소나노유체의 열전도도 및 점도특성을 비교분석하였다. 나노유체는 에탄올에 산화 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(Oxidized Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes, OMWCNTs)를 혼합하고, 초음파 분산하여 제조하였다. 에탄올-산화탄소나노유체의 열전도도와 점도는 저온($10^{\circ}C$), 상온($25^{\circ}C$), 고온($70^{\circ}C$)에서 측정하여 비교분석하였으며, 열전도도는 전기 전도성 유체의 비정상 열선법(Transient Hot-wire Method)을 이용하여 측정하였고, 점도는 회전형 디지털 점도계를 이용하였다. 실험 결과 0.1 vol%의 에탄올-산화탄소나노유체의 열전도도는 기본 유체 대비 33.72%($10^{\circ}C$), 33.14%($25^{\circ}C$), 32.26%($70^{\circ}C$)가 향상되었으며, 점도 또한 기본유체보다 크게 증가하지 않아 히트파이프 작동유체로서 우수한 효과를 나타낼 수 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 태양열 집열기 히트파이프의 효율 향상을 위한 기초자료로써 유용한 정보를 제공할 것이라 판단된다.

The exhaustion of fuel and tremendous greenhouse gas emissions are caused by the sharp increase in the use of fossil fuel. Especially, accounting for over 25% of carbon dioxide emissions, Construction is main environmental problem. So, in this study, we applied network analysis in the selection of spoil-bank to reinforce the GIS to decrease carbon dioxide emissions in construction sites. As a result, we could calculate the expected carbon dioxide emission and transportation cost of the proposed sites by the shortest distance and the least amount of time. We found that if spoil-bank is chosen based on the result, carbon dioxide emissions will be decreased as much as we plant a pine tree. We can also decrease largely by considering and applying complex causes which affect carbon dioxide emissions in construction.

The lowering of temperature for combustion of diesel particulate matters (or diesel soot) is one of the important tasks in automotive industry that is searching for a way to meet up "high-fuel efficiency, low-emission" standard. In this study, it was discussed how the use of ozone over platinum-based catalyst promotes a low-temperature soot oxidation occurred at $150^{\circ}C$. The use of platinum catalyst did not increase oxidation rate largely but was very effective in improving the selectivity of carbon dioxide. The pre-oxidation of NO into $NO_2$ using ozone was rather crucial in improving the oxidation rate of soot at $150^{\circ}C$.
