Mild combustion or Flameless oxidation(FLOX) have been considered as one of the most prospective clean-combustion technologies to meet both the targets of high process efficiency and low pollutant emissions. A mild combustor with high air preheating and strong internal exhaust gas recirculation is characterized by relatively low flame temperature, low NOx emissions, no visible flame and no sound. In this study, the Steady Flamelet Approach has been applied to numerically analyze the combustion processes and NOx formation in the mild combustor. The detailed discussion has been made for the basic characteristics of mild combustor, numerical results and limitation of the present combustion modeling.

As the government set the direction for Green Growth recently, so local government struggles to obtain carbon emissions trading. In the center of this global environment atmosphere, the quantitative targets would be suggested by some developed countries. In case of a international green movement like this, it would have been being induced from by crystallizing of economic and environmental regulations and legal policies that not only a meter-rate system of carbon emissions but also application for regenerate energy. In this paper, we researched cultivating of energy storage system(ESS) to conjugate regenerative energy of train, an energy efficiency and cultivating cost etc. In conclusion, we would acknowledge a difficulty in cultivating ESS only for cost reduction of energy consumption, so governmental policies for green growth should be thoughtfully examined.

Climate negotiations have been going on for the last two decades and the awareness for impacts of climate change has improved substantially. However, the trends of global $CO_2$ emissions did not reveal any encouraging signs, with developing countries emitting even more $CO_2$ and industrialized nations showing no signs of reducing emissions to below their 1990 levels. In order to meet the ambitious targets set by the Stern report for the next two decades, it is important to find new and path-breaking approaches to climate change. This paper attempts to analyze the use of carbon/development space historically, at present and in the future with a focus on equity. Trends analysis focuses on the last two decades (Post Rio) and the carbon budget based analysis considers a period of 1850-2050. Industrialized countries are found to have significantly overshot their budgeted allocation for the last 160 years. Both the developing and industrialized countries are overshooting the present budget estimates based on world per capita budget for the next forty years and proportional to the population of each country. It is important for the industrialized countries to bring down their emissions to meet their carbon budgets while the developing countries use their development space as a guideline for their development path. Furthermore, this paper presents aggressive and regressive scenarios for the industrialized countries to compensate for the climate debt they have created.

하수처리장은 공공부문 온실가스 목표 관리제 대상 시설로 탄소 배출량 감축이 시급하다. 하지만 최근 하수도 통계에 의하면 하수처리량에 대한 CO₂ 배출량은 2020년 대비 3.03 % 감소하였으며 이는 국가 온실가스 감축목표(NDC)를 충족하기에는 상당히 부족한 수치이다. 생물반응조에서 발생하는 직접 배출 온실가스와 하수처리과정에서 이용되는 에너지로 인한 간접배출 온실가스 두 가지를 모두 고려한 총 CFP (Carbon Footprint)를 최소화하는 생물반응조 운전 조건을 찾기 위해 EQPS라는 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 이용하여 연구를 수행하였다. 4-stage BNR 공법 하수처리장 생물반응조 내부반송율을 유입 수량의 100 %로 설정했을 때 총 CFP가 설계 운전 조건 대비 약 10.97 % 감소함을 확인하였다. 또한 대상 처리장의 N₂O EF(Emission Factor)를 계산한 결과 0.138~0.199 %로 IPCC에서 제시한 기본값 1.6 %보다 낮은 값임을 파악하였다. 본 연구는 생물반응조 운전 조건 최적화를 통해 하수처리시설의 총 CFP를 최소화하는 방안을 제시하며, N₂O 배출 감소를 위한 추가 연구의 필요성을 강조하고 있다.

Before the Conference of Parties (COP) 21 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2015, most parties of UNFCCC had submitted their intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) and to achieve their voluntary targets, some parties consider using international market mechanisms. As one of such mechanisms, Japan promoted its own bilateral mechanism called Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM). In this study, feasibility studies and projects under JCM have been analyzed by project type, sector, country and region, which could provide some implications in designing Korea's future climate policy to achieve Korea's targets of 11.7% using international market mechanism in INDC. Since 2010, JCM has promoted 542 projects and feasibility studies in 44 countries according to the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) database. Among 542 projects, about 80% were feasibility studies implying that JCM was more focused on project identification. However, current trends of JCM show that more projects will be soon implemented based on these feasibility studies. For sectoral categorization, projects were categorized into seven sectors-energy technology, energy efficiency, renewable energy, waste management, city, strategic planning and projects related to the country's efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). JCM projects were mitigation focused with more than 70% of projects were related to energy efficiency, renewable energy and energy technology. At the regional and country level, JCM is highly focused on Asia and especially, more than 100 projects were developed in Indonesia. Based on the analysis of JCM, in order to develop bilateral international mechanism for Korea, it is worthwhile to emphasize that Korea considers Asian countries as her partner. In addition, Korea may consider the collaboration with Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) to implement projects identified by Korea and Asian partner countries. Furthermore, strategically, it is recommendable to develop jointly with Japan who has already capacity and networks with other Asian countries to mitigate GHG emissions. Such financial resources from MDBs and Japan may contribute to meet the 11.3% of GHG reduction target from abroad according to INDC of Korea.

The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, requires global mitigation actions by all countries, whether they are developed or developing countries. All member countries prepared and communicated a greenhouse gas reduction target, formally called the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC). There has been some concern regarding whether the INDCs communicated are sufficient to achieve the emissions reduction needed to hold the increase in global temperature to $2^{\circ}C$ above pre-industrial levels. How to address this emissions gap in an equitable and fair manner remains controversial. Beginning in the year 2023, global stocktaking under the Paris Agreement will be performed by the Conference of the Parties to assess progress towards temperature goals. The present study, based on various composite indicators reflecting equity, fairness, ability and efficiency, analyzed the GHG reduction targets of eleven major countries and the ambitiousness of these targets. Employing share indicators and comparative ratio indicators (resulting in eight composite indicators), this study showed that when share indicators are applied, Korea's appropriate reduction requirement rate is relatively low at 1~2%. However, when comparative ratio indicators are applied, Korea's appropriate reduction requirement rate increases dramatically to 6~11%. In a similar vein, when share indicators are applied, Korea's 2030 target is very ambitious compared to other countries, while the opposite is seen with comparative ratio indicators. This strongly suggests that Korea needs to apply more share indicators than comparative ratio indicators when discussing the equitable and ambitious role of Korea in the climate debate.

우리나라는 2015년 국가 온실가스 감축목표(Nationally Determined Contribution, 이하 NDC)를 수립한 이래, 2019년 한 차례 수정 후 지난해 말 상향안을 발표하였다. 전환, 산업, 건물 등 각 부문별 탄소배출량은 NDC 목표 달성을 위해 설정된다. 본 연구는 협조적 게임이론의 claims problem 또는 파산문제(bankruptcy problem)를 활용하여 부문별 온실가스 감축목표를 분석한다. Claims problem에서 다루는 대표적인 5개의 분배규칙을 정의하고 각 규칙의 특성을 공리적으로 확인하였다. 또한, NDC 목표 달성을 위한 부문별 탄소배출량 분배문제에 각 분배규칙을 적용하고 그 결과를 정부목표와 비교분석하였다. 전환 부문에 책정된 정부목표는 5개 분배규칙에서 할당하는 배출량보다 낮은 반면, 산업 부문의 정부목표 배출량은 5개 분배규칙의 결과보다 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 그 외 부문은 정부목표가 클레임 수준에 비례하여 배출량을 할당하는 분배규칙의 결과와 유사한 것으로 나타났다.

정부의 녹색성장 국가전략에 따라 철도로의 수송수요 전환은 수송분야의 온실가스 총 배출량을 저감하는 대표적인 방안 중 하나이다. 이에 수송수단간 온실가스 배출량을 비교하기 위해 철도분야의 연구가 다양하게 진행되어 왔으나, 대부분 운영단계 위주이며 건설단계는 제외되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 철도건설 시 온실가스 배출량을 평가하기 위해 A 노선의 토목, 궤도, 건축, 전철전력 공사 일부를 대상으로 선정하였다. 철도건설의 주요 온실가스 배출원은 중장비의 연료사용으로 전체 온실가스 배출량 중 토목공사가 96% 이상을 차지하였으며, 배출원단위는 2.191톤 $CO_2e/m$이었다. 토목공사를 세부적으로 살펴보면, 공종별 온실가스 배출원단위가 토공, 터널, 교량, 정거장의 순으로 나타났다. 향후 추가적으로 시스템 경계를 확장하여 철도운영, 유지보수, 폐기 단계를 포함한 전과정적인 접근을 통해 철도 전체의 온실가스 배출량을 산정하는 것이 필요하다.

EGR(Exhaust gas recirculation) provides an important contribution in achieving the development targets of low fuel consumption and low exhaust emission levels on gasoline engine for hybrid vehicles while allowing stoichiometric fuelling to be retained for applications using the three-way catalysts. However, the occurrence of excessive cyclic variation with high EGR normally prevents substantial fuel economy improvements from being achieved in practice. Therefore, the optimum EGR rate in gasoline engine for hybrid vehicles should be carefully determined in order to achieve low fuel consumption and low exhaust emission. In this study, 2 liters gasoline engine with E-EGR system was used to investigate the effects of EGR with optimum EGR rate on fuel economy, combustion stability, engine performance and exhaust emissions. As the engine load becomes higher, the optimum EGR rate tends to increase. The increase in engine load and reduction in engine speed make the fuel consumption better. The fuel consumption was improved by maximum 5.5% at low speed, high load operating condition. As the simulated EGR variation on a cylinder is increased, due to the increase in cyclic variation, the fuel consumption and emissions characteristics were deteriorated simultaneously. To achieve combustion stability without a penalty in fuel consumption and emissions, the cylinder-to-cylinder variations must be maintained under 10%.
