본 연구는 자료포락분석의 target-setting approach를 기초로 우리나라 16개 지자체의 에너지 효율성을 추정하고, 에너지 효율향상을 통해 저감할 수 있는 에너지 소비수준을 계측한다. 나아가 에너지 믹스변화에 의한 지역별 환경성과를 분석하고 그에 따른 이산화탄소 감축효과를 평가한다. 분석결과, 표본기간 2004년~2013년 동안 평균적으로 14.0%의 에너지 비효율이 존재하며, 특히 석유연료의 비효율적 사용이 주요 광역시를 중심으로 크게 나타났다. 또한 에너지 소비구조의 변화를 통해 에너지 효율향상과 추가적인 이산화탄소 저감가능성이 발생하며, 적극적인 에너지 믹스전략의 필요성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Petroleum-contaminated soil is considered among the most important potential anthropogenic atmospheric methane sources. Additionally, various rhizoremediation factors can affect methane emissions by altering soil ecosystem carbon cycles. Nonetheless, greenhouse gas emissions from soil have not been given due importance as a potentially relevant parameter in rhizoremediation techniques. Therefore, in this study we sought to investigate the effects of different plant and soil amendments on both remediation efficiencies and methane emission characteristics in diesel-contaminated soil. An indoor pot experiment consisting of three plant treatments (control, maize, tall fescue) and two soil amendments (chemical nutrient, compost) was performed for 95 days. Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) removal efficiency, dehydrogenase activity, and alkB (i.e., an alkane compound-degrading enzyme) gene abundance were the highest in the tall fescue and maize soil system amended with compost. Compost addition enhanced both the overall remediation efficiencies, as well as pmoA (i.e., a methane-oxidizing enzyme) gene abundance in soils. Moreover, the potential methane emission of diesel-contaminated soil was relatively low when maize was introduced to the soil system. After microbial community analysis, various TPH-degrading microorganisms (Nocardioides, Marinobacter, Immitisolibacter, Acinetobacter, Kocuria, Mycobacterium, Pseudomonas, Alcanivorax) and methane-oxidizing microorganisms (Methylocapsa, Methylosarcina) were observed in the rhizosphere soil. The effects of major rhizoremediation factors on soil remediation efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions discussed herein are expected to contribute to the development of sustainable biological remediation technologies in response to global climate change.

The smoke emission of diesel engines is being recognized as one of the major source of the air pollution problems. This study investigates the potential of esterified rice bran oil to reduce smoke emission as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. Because the esterified rice bran oil has approximately a 10.5% oxygen content, the combustion of the diesel engine improved and exhaust smoke decreased. Gas chromatography was used to analyze not only the total amount of hydrocarbon but also the amount of hydrocarbon components from $C_1$ to $C_6$ in the exhaust gas to determine an exact source responsible for the remarkable reduction in the smoke emission. The number of individual hydrocarbon($C_1{\sim}C_6$) as well as the total amount of hydrocarbon of esterified rice bran oil reduced significantly compared to that of hydrocarbon of diesel fuel.

ZnO is a wide-bandgap II-VI semiconductor and has a variety of potential application. ZnO exhibits good piezoelectric, photoelectric and optic properties, and is good for a electroluminescence device. ZnO films have been deposited at (0001) shappire by PLD technique. Chamber was evacuated by turbomolecular pump to a base pressure of $1{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr Nd:YAG pulsed laser was operated at ${\lambda}=355nm$. The ZnO films were deposited at oxygen pressures from base to 500 mTorr. The substrate temperatures was increased from $200^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$. At aleady works, UV emission and green-yellow PL was observed. In this work, ZnO films showed UV, violet, green and yellow emissions. UV emission was enhanced by increasing partial oxygen pressure. We investigated relationship between partial oxygen pressure and UV emission.

Environmental conservation has become one of the greatest concerns of all the people in the world. This issue is related to wood utilization in two major view points such as carbon dioxide emitted by the use of manufacturing energy and absorbed during the growth of trees. Wood construction materials require less manufacturing energy, which, in turn, means less carbon dioxide emission. In addition, wood keeps absorbed carbon in itself as far as it is not burnt. Therefore, wood is environmentally superior to other materials in terms of potential effects on atmospheric carbon dioxide. As examples of the environmental effect of wood utilization, the following two results were obtained: 1) If wood construction becomes popular in Korea as in Japan, more than 24% of carbon dioxide emission during construction of residential housings can be reduced: and 2) If aluminum windows are substituted by wood windows, more than 19% of carbon dioxide emission can be reduced. If the principle of "cut and plant" is kept well, wood is the best construction material for environmental protection as well as human residence.

$BaMgP_2O_7$:Eu,Mn phosphors for white emission were synthesized and their luminescent properties were investigated under UV excitation. The phosphor emits two colors: a blue band by $Eu^{2+}$ and a red band by $Mn^{2+}$. Due to the efficient energy transfer from $Eu^{2+}$ to $Mn^{2+}$, the red emission positioned at 615 nm is greatly enhanced with increasing $Mn^{2+}$ content up to 17.5 mol%.

In the quantitative analysis of oxygenated exhaust emissions (unburned methanol, formal- dehyde) from methanol fueled vehicles, the oxygen contained in oxygenated exhaust gases lowers the FID (Flame Ionization Detector) response factor of conventional THC analyzer and leads to erroneous HC reading. For correct measurement of various HCs including oxygenated HCs emitted from FFV(Flexible Fuel Vehicle), first of all, the measurement technique of real HC emissions should be established. GC and HPLC-DNPH measuring methods specified by the EPA are used in this paper to analyze unburned methanol and formaldehyde components in the exhaust emissions. In emission test of FFV, unburned methanol and formaldehyde are emitted mostly during cold transient period, and it is shown that formaldehyde emission level is proportional to engine displacements. In view of the HC emission level, vehicle using M85 has 40% advantage over gasoline-fueled vehicle in OMHCE and has a good potential of a low emission vehicle.

The luminescence properties of $Sr_{1-x}Ba_xTiO_3:Pr$, Al red phosphor for Field Emission Displays (FEDs) have been investigated in powders prepared though solid-state reactions. $Sr_{1-x}Ba_xTiO_3:Pr$, Al red phosphors indicate a higher luminescent intensity, and have been found to have potential for field emission displays. The addition of Ba increased the luminescence intensity at 617 nm by up to 30%. Ba ions are effective in producing the energy transfers from host-to-activator in 4f-5d transitions.

Our nature is facing with serious problems related to the air pollution from automobiles in these days. Specially, the exhaust emissions from the diesel engine are recognized as a main cause influencing the environment severly. In this study, the potential possibility of biodiesel fuel is investigated as an alternative fuel for a naturally aspirated CRDi type diesel engine. The smoke emission of biodiesel fuel 5 vol-% was reduced by approximately 40% at 3000 rpm and full load in comparison with diesel fuel. On the other hand, the power, torque and brake specific energy consumption didn't show significant differences. NOx emission of biodiesel fuel was, however, increased compared with commercial diesel fuel.

2005년 2월 교토의정서가 효력을 발휘하게 됨에 따라 우리나라는 세계 10위의 이산화탄소 배출국으로서 2013년 이후에는 감축의무를 지어야 할 실정이다. 특히 온실가스 배출량의 약 30%가 발전부문에 의한 것이므로 전환부문의 에너지 소비 저감은 매우 중요하다. 이에 정부는 온실가스 감축환경에 대응하기 위하여 "제1차 국가에너지기본계획"을 발표하여 원전설비를 2030년까지 최대 41%까지 확대하고, 신재생에너지보급률 또한 11%로 높이겠다는 목표를 내세웠다. 이에 근거하여 원자력과 신재생에너지발전설비를 확대하였을 경우 온실가스 저감 잠재량과 그 유효성을 LEAP(Long-range Energy Alternative Planing system)을 이용하여 정량적으로 분석하였다. 분석결과 2030년 기준으로 총 $CO_2$ 발생 저감률은 28.8% 였다. 또한 BAU 시나리오 발전량을 토대로 하였을 때 유연탄발전 $0.85\;kgCO_2/kWh$, LNG발전 $0.51\;kgCO_2/kWh$의 단위 발전량당 온실가스 배출량을 보였다. 따라서 기존설비를 대체할 시, 유연탄발전을 대체할 경우에 온실가스 저감 효과가 크다는 결론을 보였다.
