This paper makes the case that a new policy strategy to enhance a global green recovery is needed urgently. The new strategy requires two essential elements. First, G20 economies should follow the lead of South Korea and China and turn their green stimulus investments into a serious long-term commitment, and to support these investments, they should adopt environmental pricing policies and instigate pricing and regulatory reforms to reduce carbon dependency. Second, the G20 also needs to target and coordinate assistance to developing economies in science, technology and innovation (STI) for clean energy. Such assistance is essential to help developing economies to overcome the skills, technological and capital gap that they face in clean energy technologies over the long term. Reform of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is also necessary to establish a long-term global price signal for carbon, and to increase the coverage of developing economies, the sectors and technologies and the overall financing of clean energy projects. Formulating such a policy strategy should appeal to both the Asian-Pacific and Western economies comprising the G20, and by working together to formulate such a strategy, the G20 could lead the way toward a new era of global economic management and STI cooperation in clean energy.

In recent semiconductor manufacturing clean rooms, in order to improve clean room air quality, air washers are used to remove airborne gaseous contaminants such as $NH_3$, SOx and organic gases from outdoor air introduced into clean room. Meanwhile, there is a large quantity of exhaust air from clean room. From the energy saving point of view, heat recovery is useful for the reduction of air conditioning energy consumption for clean room. Therefore it is desirable to recover heat from the exhaust air and use it to reheat the outdoor air. However, so far there have not been sufficient studies of analyzing the comparison of the amounts of energy consumption and saving. In the present study, an experiment was conducted to investigate the energy consumption and heat recovery of a fin-coil type air washer system for semiconductor manufacturing clean rooms.

저등급 석탄의 건조 후 안정화하기 위한 방법으로 탄화수소의 기상흡착에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 밀폐된 5 L의 데시케이터 용기에 건조 석탄과 안정화제를 넣고 주어진 온도에서 일정 시간 동안 유지시킨 후 석탄의 표면 특성과 자연발화 경향을 살펴보았다. 기상흡착 후 건조 석탄의 표면적은 미세기공을 중심으로 감소하였다. 흡착시간과 온도가 증가할수록 안정화 석탄의 자연발화 경향은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 안정화제의 종류에 따른 자연발화 경향은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 분석 결과에 의하면 석탄의 0.5 wt% 이하인 소량 흡착으로 안정화 효과를 나타내는 것이 확인되었으며, 저온에서 기상흡착에 의한 안정화 현상은 저분자량의 탄화수소 흡착에 의한 것으로 나타났다.

In this study a numerical study was conducted to show flow, temperature and gas distributions in a high temperature CO shift reactor which was designed specially for energy saving and then evaluated with the related experiment. Mole fractions of syngas at the end of the catalyst bed were predicted with various assumed pre-exponential factors, were compared with the corresponding experimental results and $10^8$ was finally selected as the value. With the selection, a base case was examined. It was calculated that the inlet duct attached asymmetrically to the CO shift reactor affects on the distribution of the upward momentum (+z directional). In addition, CO conversion ratio is achieved up to 90% in the catalyst bed and especially it reached up to 70% at the initial part of catalyst bed.

CuFeOx/$Al_2O_3$ catalysts are developed for the use in sulfuric acid decomposition which is a subcycle in thermochemical iodine-sulfur cycle to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Both Cu and Fe components are co-precipitated with Al component to enhance distribution of active components. Developed catalysts are improved in the capability of sulfuric acid decomposition and endurance under highly acidic environment compared to commercial catalysts such as Pt/$Al_2O_3$ and $2CuO{\cdot}Cr_2O_3$. Developed CuFeAlOx catalysts exhibited higher sulfuric acid decomposition ability than $2CuO{\cdot}Cr_2O_3$ and longer endurance trends than Pt/$Al_2O_3$ maintaining comparable performance, respectively.

It was investigated that the emission characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from small and medium companies located on industrial complexes in Metropolitan area. The emission characteristics are intermittent sources in which VOCs emissions are highly depends on the working condition. Optimized ventilation system to improve air quality in working area for the three typical companies were installed. Adsorption characteristics of major VOCs such as MEK, IPA, and toluene emitted front the companies were investigated for design of the activated carbon vessel as a VOCs control facility in each company. Concentration of total hydrocarbon and gas amounts needed to ventilation were also used as a design parameter. Mixed adsorbent to improve adsorption characteristics of problematic solvents like IPA and the design guideline of the activated carbon vessel have been suggested.

The present work investigates the effect of $K_2CO_3$ catalyst on steam gasification of Kideco coal and the deactivation of the catalyst due to thermal exposure and interaction with coal ash. The gasification reactivity at $700^{\circ}C$ is highly enhanced by $K_2CO_3$, which is not deactivated by the heat treatment at $T{\leq}800^{\circ}C$. TGA and XRD results prove minor decomposition of $K_2CO_3$ after the calcination at $800^{\circ}C$. $K_2CO_3$ is, however, evaporated at the higher temperature. Assuming the conversion of $K_2CO_3$ into $K_2O$ by the decomposition and into $K_2O{\cdot}2.5SiO_2$ and $KAlO_2$ by the interaction with coal ash, the reactivity of the gasification is evaluated in the presence of $K_2O$, $K_2O{\cdot}2.5SiO_2$ and $KAlO_2$. Among them, $K_2O$ is the most active, but much lower in the activity than $K_2CO_3$. XRD results show that $K_2CO_3$ could react readily with the ash above $700^{\circ}C$.

Natural photosynthesis utilizes solar energy to convert carbon dioxide and water to energy-rich carbohydrates. Substantial use of sunlight to meet world energy demands requires energy storage in useful fuels via chemical bonds because sunlight is intermittent. Artificial photosynthesis research focuses the fundamental natural process to design solar energy conversion systems. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ($NAD^+$) and $NADP^+$ are ubiquitous as electron transporters in biological systems. Enzymatic, chemical, and electrochemical methods have been reported for NADH regeneration. As photochemical systems, visible light-driven catalytic activity of NADH regeneration was carried out using platinum nanoparticles, molecular rhodium and cobalt complexes in the presence of triethanolamine as a sacrificial electron donor. Pt nanoparticles showed photochemical NADH regeneration activity without additional visible light collector molecules, demonstrating that both photoactivating and catalytic activities exist together in Pt nanoparticles. The NADH regeneration of the Pt nanoparticle system was not interfered with the reduction of $O_2$. Molecular cobalt complexes containing dimethylglyoxime ligands also transfer their hydrides to $NAD^+$ with photoactivation of eosin Y in the presence of TEOA. In this photocatalytic reaction, the $NAD^+$ reduction process competed with a proton reduction.
