This study was carried out to develop for the emission factor of greenhouse gas (GHG) from medium and smallscaled incineration facility using RPF which is considering as a part of renewable energy in UNFCC. The actual concentration of the exhaust gas and the fuel composition of RPF were measured for the calculation of GHG emission factor in RPF incinerators, and were compared with the IPCC guideline. The $CO_2$ and $N_2O$ emission factors by the actual concentration of exhaust gas were $2.3575{\pm}1.0070tCO_2/tRPF$ and $0.0014{\pm}0.0014tN_2O/tRPF$ respectively. Also, $CO_2$ emission factor by the RPF composition was $2.7057{\pm}0.0540tCO_2/tRPF$. The GHG emission factor per energy by the actual concentration was $83.0867{\pm}26.0346tCO_2e/TJ$ which showed higher consistency with the GHG emission factor ($80.3967tCO_2e/TJ$) of waste plastic in the IPCC guideline (2006b). The $CO_2$ and $N_2O$ emission factor calculated in this study is considered as a meaningful data for GHG emission factor of RPF incineration facility because of not being developed in ROK.

This research was conducted to examine the temporal methane ($CH_4$) and nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emission trends in livestock agriculture from year 1990 to 2011 with Tier 1 national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory reporting method, which was related to efforts of decreasing GHG emissions and to achievement of voluntary GHG mitigation target. Methane emissions from enteric fermentation were calculated with default $CH_4$ emission factors of IPCC. Methane and $N_2O$ emissions from manure treatment processes were calculated with Tier 1 and mixture of Tier 1 and Tier 2 including $N_2O$ emission factors of manure treatment systems and nitrogen excretion rate of livestock, respectively. According to 2013 National GHG Inventory Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification report, GHG emission fluctuations from enteric fermentation and manure treatment processes were similarto livestock head fluctuation. GHG emissions from enteric fermentation were mainly affected by beef cattle including Hanwoo, while manure treatment processes were affected by various livestock.

2006년 우리나라의 에너지 사용은 총수입액(28%), 해외의존(97%), 온실가스배출(83%-year 2004)의 비중을 차지하고 있어, 경제나 환경 정책에서 매우 중요한 산업분야이다. 그러나 현실적으로 국내 에너지사용에 따른 온실가스 배출 추계는 산업별 사용량에 국제기구가 권고한 계수를 곱해 사용하는 수준에 머물고 있다. 이러한 수준으로는 post Kyoto Protocol을 통한 개도국의 참여를 강제하려는 새로운 패러다임에 대응할 논리와 정책을 바르게 수립할 수 없다. 본 연구는 한국은행이 발간한 2000년 산업연관표를 기반으로 이형단위 산업연관표를 작성하고, 이를 통해 경제 구성 부문별로 에너지 사용에 따른 온실가스 배출 특성을 분석하였다. 분석은 네가지 측면에서 이루어졌으며, 이는 섹터별 온실가스 배출 밀도 추정, 각 그룹에서 온실가스 배출을 야기한 연료원별 기여도 측정, 산업별 배출계수의 산정, 그리고 국가 총배출량 추정이다. 여기서 추정한 배출량은 온실가스 배출에 관한 국가 공식 통계치와 비교 검증하였다. 연구 접근법은 에너지의 직접사용 과정에서 배출되는 온실가스의 양 뿐만 아니라 배출을 유발하는 간접원인까지도 분석하고 있어, 최근 확산되고 있는 전과정분석(Life Cycle Analysis) 개념에 적합한 모형이다. 이 모형은 향후 온실가스 저감 정책 수립의 중요한 기반이 될 것으로 기대한다.

Waste sector has been a target of abatement policies by the most governments, even though its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission is not so high, since it is related to almost of other sectors. This study propose new GHG calculation equations which resolves logical contradiction of IPCC GL (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Guideline) equations by including waste-to-energy effects. According to two GHG calculation equations, GHG emission inventory and BAU by the year 2050 have been computed. And GHG abatement potential and marginal cost for the five abatement policies carefully selected from the previous researches have been calculated for the year 2020. The policy that makes solid fuel like RDF from flammable wastes and uses them as combustion fuel of electricity generations has been found to be the most efficient and effective one among five policies. The cumulative abatement amount when five policies not mutually exclusive are applied sequentially has been reckoned.

The concern on the greenhouse gas emission is strongly increasing globally. In fishery industry section, the greenhouse gas emissions are an important issue according to The Paris Climate Change Accord in 2015. The Korean government has a plan to reduce the GHG emissions as 4.8% compared to the BAU in fisheries until 2020. Furthermore, the Korean government has also declared to achieve the carbon neutrality in 2050 at the Climate Adaptation Summit 2021. However, the investigation on the GHG emissions from Korean fisheries did not carry out extensively. Most studies on GHG emissions from Korean fishery have dealt with the GHG emissions by fishery classification so far. However, follow-up studies related to GHG emissions from fisheries need to evaluate the GHG emission level by species to prepare the adoption of environmental labels and declarations (ISO 14020). The purpose of this research is to investigate which degree of GHG emitted to produce the species (hairtail and small yellow croaker) from various fisheries. Here, we calculated the GHG emission to produce the species from the fisheries using the Life Cycle Assessment method. The system boundary and input parameters for each process level are defined for the LCA analysis. The fuel use coefficients of the fisheries for the species are also calculated according to the fuel type. The GHG emissions from sea activities by the fisheries will be dealt with. Furthermore, the GHG emissions for producing the unit weight species and annual production are calculated by fishery classification. The results will be helpful to understand the circumstances of GHG emissions from Korean fisheries.

We constructed greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollution (AP) integrated sink/emission inventories and evaluated the environmental value for the vegetation sector in Seoul during year 2010. The data of vegetation, classified into four sectors of cultivated land, forest land, park and street tree, were obtained from Statistics Korea and Seoul City. Based on the previous studies, only $CO_2$ was chosen as GHG sink by vegetation. $NO_2$ and $SO_2$ were chosen as AP sink by vegetation, while isoprene, monoterpene, other VOC (OVOC) and NH3 were chosen as AP emission from vegetation. Estimation methodology and sink/emission factors were gathered from reports and published literatures. Estimated GHG sink by vegetation during year 2010 was 12,987,173 $tonCO_{2eq}$, of which approximately 1/4 was from pure vegetation and the remaining 3/4 from vegetation soil. AP sink and emission were estimated to be 23,309 tonAP and 2,629,797 tonAP, respectively. The analysis by administrative districts in Seoul revealed that among 25 districts, Seocho-gu, Nowon-gu, Eunpyeong-gu, Gwanak-gu and Gangbuk-gu were the major districts in GHG and AP sink/emission inventories for vegetation sector. Environmental value of vegetation as a function of GHG and AP sink, was estimated as 800 billion won, corresponding to 5% of the total cost of the forest land in Korea evaluated as a public function.

본 연구의 목적은 대청댐 저수지(금강수계)를 대상으로 G-res Tool을 적용하여 배출 경로별 온실가스(Greenhouse Gas, GHG)의 배출 특성과 댐 건설에 따른 담수 전과 후의 GHG 순 배출량(온실가스 발자국)을 산정하는데 있다. 아울러, 단위전력 생산당 탄소배출량(GHG 배출강도)을 평가하고 저수지 부영양화 상태(총인 농도)에 따른 GHG 배출량 변화의 민감도를 분석하여 수질과 배출량의 관계를 해석하였다. 대청댐 건설 후 연간 GHG 배출 플럭스는 262 gCO₂eq/m²/yr이었으며, CO₂와 CH₄의 비율은 각각 45.7%와 54.2%이었다. 배출 경로별로는 CO₂ 확산이 가장 많았으며 다음으로 CH₄의 확산, 방류 시 탈기, 기포 배출 순으로 산정되었다. 댐 건설 전과 후의 GHG 순 배출량은 담수 전 산림지로 분류된 토지 피복이 담수 후 저수구역으로 변경됨으로써 탄소 흡수효과가 상실되어 510 gCO₂eq/m²/yr로 증가하였다. 대청댐의 GHG 배출강도는 전력밀도(저수면적당 발전용량)가 낮아 전세계 수력발전 중앙값보다 약 3.7배 많은 86.8 gCO₂eq/kWh로 산정되었다. 그러나 이 값은 화석연료인 석탄의 배출강도보다 9.5배 작은 값에 해당한다는 점은 주목할 만하다. 또한 저수지의 총인 농도가 감소함에 따라 GHG 배출량도 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 연구 결과는 댐 저수지의 온실가스 배출 특성에 대한 이해를 높이고, 국가 온실가스 인벤토리의 불확실성을 개선하는데 활용될 수 있다.

최근 인벤토리 구축이 활발해짐에 따라 인벤토리의 정확도 및 신뢰도 평가에 대한 수요 역시 크게 증가하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 GHG-CAPSS의 신뢰도를 향상시키는데 지표로 활용될 GHG-CAPSS의 신뢰도를 평가하기 위한 방법론을 개발하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 본 논문에서는 GHG-CAPSS 신뢰도 평가 방법을 정성적 정량적으로 구분하였으며, 정성적 정량적 평가 결과를 종합하여 신뢰도를 결정할 수 있는 방법을 고안하여 액체 화석 연료 연소에 의한 $CO_2$ 배출량과 매립에 의한 $CH_4$ 배출량에 시범 적용하였다. 시범 적용 결과, 액체 화석 연료연소의 신뢰도 정성적 및 정량적 점수는 각각 25점(/50점), 50점(/50점)으로 최종적으로 75점으로 나타났으며, 매립에 의한 $CH_4$ 배출량의 신뢰도 정성적 및 정량적 점수는 각각 22점(/25점), 20점(/50점)으로 최종적으로 42점으로 평가되었다. 따라서 GHG-CAPSS의 액체화석연료 연소 부문과 매립 부문 배출량의 신뢰도를 평가한 결과, 두 배출원의 정성적 신뢰도는 비슷하였으나, 정량적 평가에서 큰 차이를 보였다. 이는 각 배출원 간의 불확도가 큰 편차를 보였기 때문으로 액체화석연료 연소에 의한 $CO_2$ 배출량의 경우, 신뢰도 향상을 위해 정성적 신뢰도 부분을 향상시키는 데 주력해야 하며, 매립에 의한 $CH_4$ 배출량의 경우 정량적 신뢰도 향상을 위한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 또한, 두 배출원 모두, 신뢰도 정성 평가의 점수를 향상시키기 위해 품질 관리 절차 또는 지침서를 개발하여 품질 관리의 수준을 향상시킬 필요가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

Recently, it is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore carbon emission implication of building operations due to the significant rate of energy usage in buildings. In the building sector, our normal expectation implies that large building floor area induces more greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. In this research, the correlation between building total floor areas and GHG emission was explored by simple linear regression and analyzing the yielded residuals for confirming this seemingly obvious conjecture. By looking at the generated regression lines drawn based on the data sets representing public facilities in Ontario, Canada, we were able to confirm that carbon emission rate shows a proportional increase or decrease depending on the total floor area of buildings as has been implied as a conjecture. Some buildings were found to emit significantly large and small amount of GHG, and we addressed potential reasons why those buildings show the deviation from the confirmed proportional interrelation between a building's total floor area and the amount of GHG emission.

A closed flux chamber system was used for measuring major greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from tideland and/or wetland soils in estuarine area at Saemankum, Kunsan in southwestern Korea during from months of February to June 2006. Hourly averaged GHG soil emissions were measured two to three times a day during the ebb tide hours only. Site soils were analyzed for soil parameters (temperature, pH, total organic contents, N and C contents in soil) in the laboratory. Soil GHG fluxes were calculated based on the GHG concentration rate of change measured inside a closed chamber The analysis of GHG was conducted by using a Gas Chromatography (equipped with ECD/FID) at laboratory. Changes of daily, monthly GHGs' fluxes were examined. The relationships between the GHG emissions and soil chemical contents were also scrutinized with respect to gas production and consumption mechanism in the soil. Soil pH was pH $7.47{\pm}0.49$ in average over the experimental period. Organic matter contents in sample soil was $6.64{\pm}4.98\;g/kg$, and it shows relatively lower contents than those in agricultural soils in Kunsan area. Resulting from the soil chemistry data, soil nitrogen contents seem to affect GHG emission from the tidal land surface. The tidal soil was found to be either source or sink for the major GHG during the experimental periods. The annual average of $CH_{4}\;and\;CO_{2}$ fluxes were $0.13{\pm}0.86\;mg\;m^{-2}h^{-1}\;and\;5.83{\pm}138.73\;mg\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$, respectively, which will be as a source of these gases. However, $N_{2}O$ emission showed in negative flux, and the value was $-0.02{\pm}0.66\;mg\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$, and it implies tidal land surface act as a sink of $N_{2}O$. Over the experimental period, the absolute values of gas fluxes increased with soil temperature in general. Averages of the ambient gas concentration were $86.8{\pm}6.\;ppm$ in $CO_{2},\;1.63{\pm}0.34\;ppm\;in\;CH_{4},\;and\;0.59{\pm}0.15\;ppm\;in\;N_{2}O$, respectively. Generally, under the presence of gas emission from agricultural soils, decrease of gas emission will be observed as increase in ambient gas concentration. We, however, could not found significant correlation between the ambient concentrations and their emissions over the experimental period. There was no GHG compensation points existed in tide flat soil.
