Following the signing of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change (UNFCCC, 2015), the world is expanding greenhouse gas reduction activities through comprehensive participation that includes not only developed countries but also developing countries. Major countries around the world are placing high expectations on the effectiveness of total carbon emissions regulation through the carbon emissions market. However, in order to obtain carbon credits, third-party verification is required based on quantitative carbon reduction data. Accordingly, in this paper, we developed an AIoT high-efficiency street light for carbon emissions and conducted a performance analysis study to measure the luminous efficiency of the lighting fixture. To obtain carbon emissions rights, we used high-efficiency LED PKG, developed our own high-voltage PFC, and developed high-efficiency lighting fixtures capable of communication. For communication, the 2.4GHz LoRa method was adopted between the lighting fixture and the gateway. Lens design was conducted through simulation of Korea Expressway Corporation's standard streetlight types A, B, and C. The performance of the streetlight was verified as being more efficient than other existing products through the measurement of luminous efficiency by an accredited rating agency, and it is expected that carbon emissions rights will be obtained by reducing electrical energy through this.

The aim of the study is to analyze urban characteristics that affect carbon emissions of buildings. The analysis was conducted at the level of 424 administrative districts in Seoul. The main variables used in the analysis were energy consumption and carbon emissions of buildings published in the Seoul Metropolitan Government's energy information platform 2021. It was found that carbon emissions per unit building were high in Jongno, Gangnam, Guro, and Mok-dong. A regression analysis using the spatial lag model (SLM) identifies that the variables that affect the carbon emissions of buildings were; commercial, educational, business and industrial facility variables as built environment factor; number of residents; traffic volume, number of bus routes and number of subway stations as transportation facilities factors; and environmental factors such as green area and river area.

토양은 육상생태계에 있어 가장 많은 탄소를 저장하고 있으며, 대기 중 CO₂를 토양탄소로 전환하여 쉽게 방출되지 않고 토양 내에 저장하는 역할을 한다. 이렇듯 토양 유기탄소 배출관리는 기후변화에 있어 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 하지만 토지이용의 변화와 무분별한 관리로 인하여 토양내에 저장되어 있는 토양 탄소배출이 지속적으로 증가 하고 있다. 따라서 토양탄소 배출로 인한 경제적 피해를 수치적으로 표현하는 가치평가가 필요하다. 현재 토양에 저장된 토양유기탄소 함량을 토양통별로 토양정보시스템에서 제공하고 있지만 국내 토양 토양탄소 저장량의 산정에 관한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 토양 특성을 이용하여 토양 유기탄소 저장량을 산정하고, 산정된 토양 유기탄소 저장량과 정밀토양도를 이용하여 남한의 토양 유기탄소 가치평가를 실시하였다. 토양의 특성은 물리적 특성인 모래(Sand), 이토(Silt), 점토(Clay), 자갈(Gravel)함량과 화학적 특성인 유기물함량(Organic Matter)를 사용하였다. 토양 유기탄소저장량 산정의 검증을 위하여 전라남도 진도군의 토양유기탄소 저장량을 산정한 결과 486,696t으로, 선행연구와 유사한 결과를 나타내었다. 이러한 검증 결과를 바탕으로 남한의 토양 유기탄소 저장량을 산정한 결과 305.54Mt의 유기탄소가 저장된 것으로 나타났으며, 단위 면적당 유기탄소 저장량의 경우 3.11kg/㎡으로 나타났다. 또한 2019년 상반기 기준 평균 탄소거래권 가격(27,500원/톤)을 이용하여 우리나라 국토의 토양탄소 저장량 가치평가를 실시한 결과, 약 8조 4천억원의 경제적 가치가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 토양의 물리적·화학적 특성을 이용하여 토양의 유기탄소 저장량을 산정하였으며, 토양에 저장되어 있는 유기탄소의 가치평가를 수행하였다. 본 연구결과는 농업, 수문, 기후변화 등 다양한 분야에서 필요로 하는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

지난 3월에 발효된 기후변화협약의 목적은 이산화탄소 등의 온실가스 배출을 억제하여 지구온난화를 방지하자는데 있다. 그런데 이산화탄소의 배출을/억제하기 위해서는 화석연료의 사용을 줄일 수 밖에 없고 나아가서는 경제성장목표를 수정하지 않을 수 없을 것이다. 이산화탄소 배출저감을 위한 여러 정책대안들 중에 탄소세가 가장 효과적이며 시행가능성이 높은 것으로 알려져 있으며 EU를 비롯한 선진국들을 중심으로 범선진국 차원에서 이를 도입하자는 움직임이 있다. 특히 우리나라는 OECD가입을 목전에 두고 있어 다른 선진국들과 마찬가지로 탄소세의 도입을 적극 검토하지 않을 수 없다. 이에 본 고는 원유환산배럴당 10달러의 탄소세를 부과할 때 우리나라 각 산업부문에 미치는 영향을 산업연관모형 및 정태적 무역모형을 이용하여 추정하였다. 그 결과 우리나라 산업전반에 걸쳐 탄소세의 영향이 상당히 크게 나타났으며 특히 시멘트, 철강, 화학 등의 에너지 다소비 업종을 중심으로 심각한 대외경쟁력 약화 및 수출감소가 추정되었다.

This research estimates the impact of population aging on energy use and carbon emissions by energy sources and by industrial sectors in Korea until 2035. For the estimation, the structural change in household consumption expenditure identified by the age-specific consumption pattern was analyzed in conjunction with energy and environment input-output tables. The estimation result presents that, despite the population aging, energy use and carbon emissions induced by household consumption continue to increase until 2026, and then that elevated levels of energy use and carbon emissions will be maintained for a considerable period of time. According to the estimation by energy sources, the use of natural gas will show substantial increase while the use of crude oil will switch to a downturn at a relatively early period. According to the estimation by industrial sectors, carbon emissions in the sectors with relatively high consumption share of old households such as medical health, dwelling, lighting, heating, air-conditioning, and food will have substantial increase, whereas those in the sectors associated with education, transport, catering, and accommodation services will turn downward relatively early. In addition, the study analyzes through policy simulation the impact of aging-related policy similar to the basic pension system, which is recently being discussed for legislation, on energy use and carbon emissions.

The presidential council on national competitiveness and the national police agency have initiated a national project to refresh the road traffic control and operation systems to increase operational efficiency at signalized intersections. It would reduce the number of stops and delay of vehicles at intersections and thus mitigate congestion and emission. Although significant reduction of carbon is expected as a consequential result, such effects has yet been studied since traffic operation was behind of interest in the field of green transportation where planning was mainly involved. This paper delivers the macroscopic effects of carbon reduction of the selected items of the national project: the ones managed by the police agency. The results showed that the studied items yield significant reduction of carbon: pedestrian push button operation, flashing signal operation, progression, lagging left turns, permitted left turn, and actuated left-turn operation would reduce 12.31%, 3.27%, 2.44%, 0.97%, 0.81%, and 0.72% of the total amount of carbon emitted a year in a whole transportation sector, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to investigate high school students' conception of conservation of mass through the scenario of carbon emission in terms of carbon cycle. Seventy six high school students of 11th grade were participated in this study. Participants were provided with two scenarios that showed a gradual increase and decrease of atmospheric $CO_2$ amount from the level recorded in 2013 up to 450 ppm and to 340 ppm by 2110, which is the changes of around 15%. We asked participants to explain the reason after having them draw the emissions trajectory of $CO_2$ according to scenario. Most participants thought that carbon emission would continue to increase despite the two scenarios of carbon emission making sense in terms of conservation of mass between emissions and the natural removal of carbon dioxide. This implies that participants came to think of pattern matching that carbon emission would continue to increase as they used correlation graphs of carbon emission: that is, the graphs of the evolution of anthropogenic emissions, of atmospheric $CO_2$, and of global mean temperature, from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution up to date, all of which are shown in high school earth science textbooks.

This study was achieved by purpose to measure carbon emissions by conversion of forest land in Korea to correspond to UNFCCC. The conversion of forest land data extracted in forest basis statistical data during the latest 5 years from 2000 to 2004, and biomass carbon emissions used biomass extension factor by forest types and carbon conversion factor. During the latest 5 years, the forest land of the annual means about 7,200ha was conversed as other expenditure and tree volume of the annual mean about $212,000m^3$ was felled. It was calculated that total biomass carbon emissions by conversion of the forest land emits annual mean 105,000tC during the latest 5 years. Biomass carbon emissions by forest types was calculated that coniferous forest emits 54,000tC and deciduous forest emits 51,000tC. It was calculated that carbon emissions per ha by conversion of the forest land emits annual mean 14.4tC/ha during the latest 5 years. Seeing by forest types, coniferous forest emits 13.3tC/ha and deciduous forest emits 18.5tC/ha. Therefore, it was shown that deciduous forest emits more carbon per unit area than coniferous forest.
