International Maritime Organization (IMO) proposed the Energy Efficiency Operation Indicator (EEOI) in 2005 and the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) in 2008 so as to address emission concern and regulation. Likewise, Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) monitoring and management are also becoming an issue lately. This paper introduces the energy efficiency design index (operation indicator) monitoring system (EDiMS) software can continuously monitor $CO_2$, $NO_x$, $SO_x$, and PM values emitted from ship. The accurate inventory of ships GHG can be obtained from base of emission result during the engine shop test trial and the actual monitoring of shaft power and ship speed. In addition, the ability to store all exhaust emission and engine operation data can be applied as the useful tool of the inventory work of air pollution and ship energy management plan for the mitigation or reduction of ship emissions.

The university is one of the main energy consumption facilities and thereby releases a large amount of greenhouse gas (GHG). Accordingly, efforts for reducing energy consumption and GHG have been established in many local as well as international universities. However, it has been limited to energy consumption and GHG, and has not included air pollution (AP). Therefore, we estimated GHG and AP integrated emissions from the energy consumed by Seoul National University of Science and Technology during the years between 2010 and 2012. In addition, the effect of alternative energy use scenario was analysed. We estimated GHG using IPCC guideline and Guidelines for Local Government Greenhouse Inventories, and AP using APEMEP/EEA Emission Inventory Guidebook 2013 and Air Pollutants Calculation Manual. The estimated annual average GHG emission was $11,420tonCO_{2eq}$, of which 27% was direct emissions from fuel combustion sectors, including stationary and mobile source, and the remaining 73% was indirect emissions from purchased electricity and purchased water supply. The estimated annual average AP emission was 7,757 kgAP, of which the total amount was from direct emissions only. The annual GHG emissions from city gas and purchased electricity usage per unit area ($m^2$) of the university buildings were estimated as $15.4kgCO_{2eq}/m^2$ and $42.4tonCO_{2eq}/m^2$ and those per person enrolled in the university were $210kgCO_{2eq}$/capita and $577kgCO_{2eq}$/capita. Alternative energy use scenarios revealed that the use of all alternative energy sources including solar energy, electric car and rain water reuse applicable to the university could reduce as much as 9.4% of the annual GHG and 34% of AP integrated emissions, saving approximately 400 million won per year, corresponding to 14% of the university energy budget.

현재 온실가스 배출량 산정 방법은 온실가스 저감대책 효과 분석이 불가능하며 차량의 이동특성이 반영이 안 된 실정으로 이를 극복할 수 있는 온실가스 배출량 산정 방법의 필요로 본 연구가 시작되었다. 교통수요 분석을 통해 차종, 교통상황에 따른 HBEFA 배출계수로 배출량을 산정하는 방법을 통해 고양시에 적용하여 분석하였다. 본연구의 지자체단위 교통수요 추정방안을 통해 실질적인 교통 이용특성에 맞는 온실가스 배출량이 산출되었다. 온실가스 지자체별 통행요금, 속도제한 등 온실가스 저감 요인들이 교통수요 모형에 반영되어 온실가스 저감 대책에 대한 효과분석 후 환경영향을 줄일 수 있는 방안을 강구하여 온실가스 저감 대책 마련에 효율적으로 이용될 것으로 판단된다.

The port of Busan is the fifth busiest container port in the world in terms of total mass of 20-foot equivalent units transported. Yet no attempts have been made to estimate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the port of Busan by accounting for all port-related activities of the various transportation modes. With these challenges in mind, this study estimates the first activity-based GHG emissions inventory in the port of Busan, which consists of four transportation modes: marine vessels, cargo-handling equipment, heavy-duty trucks, and railroad locomotives. The estimation results based on the most recent and complete port-related activity data are as follows. First, the average annual transportation GHG emission in the port of Busan during the analysis period from 2000 to 2007 was 802 Gg $CO_2$-eq, with a lower value of 773 Gg $CO_2$-eq and an upper value of 813 Gg $CO_2$-eq. Second, the increase in the transportation-related GHG emissions in the port of Busan during the analysis period can be systematically explained by the amount of cargo handled ($R^2$=0.98). Third, about 64% of total GHG emissions in the port of Busan were from marine vessels because more than 40% of all maritime containerized trade flows in the port were transshipment traffic. Fourth, approximately 22% of the total GHG emissions in the port of Busan were from on-road or railroad vehicles, which transport cargo to and from the port of Busan. Finally, the remaining 14% of total GHG emissions were from the cargo handling equipment, such as cranes, yard tractors, and reach stackers.

The study was conducted to determine greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories in grasslands. After 'Low Carbon Green Growth' was declared a national vision on 2008, Medium-term greenhouse gas reduction was anticipated for 30% reduction compared to Business As Usual (BAU) by 2020. To achieve the reduction targets and prepare to enforce emissions trading (2015), national GHG inventories were measured based on the 1996 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Guidelines (IPCC GL). The national Inventory Report (NIR) of Korea is published every year. Grassland sector measurement was officially added in 2014. GHG removal of grassland soil was measured from 1990 to 2012. Grassland area data of Korea was used for farmland area data in the "Cadastral Statistical Annual Report (1976~2012)". Annual grassland area corresponding to the soil classification was used "Soil classification and commentary in Korea (2011)". Grassland area was divided into 'Grassland remaining Grassland' and 'Land converted to Grassland'. The accumulated variation coefficient was assumed to be the same without time series changes in grassland remaining grassland. Therefore, GHG removal of soil carbon was calculated as zero (0) in grassland remaining grassland. Since the grassland area increases constantly, the grassland soil sinks constantly . However, the land converted to grassland area continued to decrease and GHG removal of soil carbon was reduced. In 2012 (127.35Gg $CO_2$), this removal decreased by 76% compared to 1990 (535.71 Gg $CO_2$). GHG sinks are only grasslands and woodlands. The GHG removaled in grasslands was very small, accounting for 0.2% of the total. However, the study provides value by identifying grasslands as GHG sinks along with forests.

This study analyzes the contribution of hanok that construction in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Korea by calculating the carbon storage of hanoks and comparing it to different housing types in Korea. The hanok is a traditional Korean house. And it were first designed and built in the $14^{th}$ century during thd Joseon Dynasty. According to our results, the number of hanoks in 2016 was approximately 547,085 which was accounting for 7.8% of the total construction market, This study found Gyeongbuk with 95,083, Jeonnam with 88,981, Gyeongnam with 76,388 and Seoul with 43,519 hanoks. According to the GHG Inventory Report for 2016, Korea's total annual GHG emissions amounted to 650 million $tCO_2$, with the carbon stocks in hanoks amounting to 19.2 million $tCO_2$. This accounts for 2.8% of Korea's total GHG emissions and 46.1% of the carbon absorbed by forests. Our results show that hanoks store four times more carbon than light-frame-wood-houses, and 15 times more carbon than concrete-reinforced and steel-frame houses. The main factors causing the hanok industry slowdown are the high construction costs, lack of government support, and insufficient knowledge of hanok architecture. Therefore, to further increase the carbon stock of hanok, more research is needed to improve the technical use of wood and reduce construction of the hanok and prepare legal and institutional arrangements related to hanok industry.

Almost half of New Zealand's greenhouse gas emissions arise from agriculture and enteric methane ($CH_4 $) emissions arising from ruminant animals constitute 30% of total $CO_2$-e emissions. Enteric $CH_4$ emissions have increased by 9% since 1990. Extensive research has been undertaken to develop reliable methods for measuring enteric $CH_4$ emissions. New Zealand studies using the SF6 tracer technique suggest that on average this technique yields similar values to the 'gold' standard of calorimetry, but with a larger variance. National inventory estimates based on results obtained using the $SF_6$ technique will therefore overestimate the uncertainty. Mitigating emissions can be achieved by changing feed type but there are practical and cost barriers to the use of alternative feeds. Forages containing condensed tannins do reduce emissions but are agronomically inferior to the forages currently used. Rumen additives have shown some success in-vitro but results from in-vivo trials with both monensin and fumaric acid have been disappointing. The development of methods for directly manipulating rumen microorganisms are at an early stage and work to develop vaccines that can inhibit methanogenesis has yielded mixed results. The successful identification of sheep with contrasting $CH_4$ yields raises the possibility that, in the long term, a breeding approach to $CH_4$ mitigation is feasible.

온실가스 인벤토리 불확도 산정을 위해서는 인벤토리의 신뢰구간 추정이 필수적이다. 일반적으로 모수에 대한 신뢰구간 추정시에는 모집단이 정규분포를 따른다고 가정한다. 그러나 자료의 구조가 복잡해짐에 따라 정규분포가 아닌 비대칭형 자료, 즉 양의 왜도를 갖는 자료의 경우 기존의 정규분포를 가정한 신뢰구간 추정 방식은 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 비대칭형 분포인 지수분포의 신뢰구간추정 방법으로 모수적인 방법과 비모수적인 방법에 대해 각각 비교분석하였다. 모의실험을 통한 신뢰구간 추정 결과를 바탕으로 범위확률, 신뢰구간 길이, 상대적 편의를 비교한 결과 모수적 방법 중에서 예상했던 대로 정확한 방법인 카이제곱방법이 신뢰계수와 유사한 범위확률을 보이고 상대적 편의도 작아 모수적 방법 중에서 신뢰구간 추정에 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 마찬가지로 비모수적 방법 중에서는 표준화된 t-붓스트랩 방법이 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 지자체 차원의 기후변화협약 대응을 위해 전라북도를 사례로 온실가스 인벤토리를 구축하고 그 결과에 따라 온실가스 저감전략 기본방향을 수립하였다. 전라북도 온실가스 배출원 분류체계는 대한민국 제3차 국가보고서의 배출원 분류 체계에 따랐으며, 제3차 국가보고서는'Revised IPCC 1996GL'을 기초로 작성되었다. 국가의 경우 에너지 공급 측면의 1차에너지를 기준으로 온실가스 배출량 산정이 가능하지만, 지역의 경우 전환부문에 대한 통제가 불가능하므로 에너지 소비 측면의 2차 에너지를 기준으로 배출량을 산정하였다(지역 전력사용은 에너지 산업부문으로 포함). 전라북도 온실가스 인벤토리 구축결과 2006년 총배출량 중 에너지 연소에 의한 이산화탄소($CO_2$)가 87.1%로 가장 많았으며, 메탄($CH_4$) 8.1%, 기타 부문 이산화탄소 ($CO_2$) 2.2%, 아산화질소($N_2O$) 1.6%, F-가스(HFCs, PFCs, $SF_6$)는 1.0%를 차지하였다. 2006년 총배출량은 에너지(88.0%), 농업(7.6%), 폐기물(2.3%), 산업공정(2.1%) 부문 순으로 배출비중이 높았으며, 에너지 부문은 전력을 포함한 에너지산업, 제조업 및 건설업, 수송, 광업/농림어업/가정상업/공공기타 순으로 발생량이 많았다. 2006년 총배출량 중 산업공정 부문은 F-가스 (HFCs, PFCs, $SF_6$)소비, 농업 부문은 벼논경작, 폐기물 부문은 소각에 의한 온실가스 배출비중이 높은 특성을 보였다. 본 연구에서는 전라북도 각 부문별 특성을 분석하여 부문별 온실가스 저감을 위한 기본방향을 수립하였다.

우리나라 배출권거래제도는 기후변화대책법(이인기 의원 대표 발의안)이나 저탄소녹색성장기본법(정부 발의안)을 기반으로 후속법안에서 배출량 설정방식, 할당방법, 국가인벤토리 및 배출권 운영체제를 확정해야 한다. 배출권 설정방식은 온실가스 감축 목표달성이 명확한 배출총량할당방식을 채택하고, 할당방식은 경쟁력에 심각한 영향을 미치는 부문에는 무상배분 및 지원방안을 마련하며, 전력부문에는 높은 비율로 경매로 할당하는 것이 바람직하다. 그리고 대상 온실가스는 6개의 교토의정서 온실가스 모두를 포함하고, 국가인벤토리는 현재 수도권 대기총량제에서 실제로 측정되고 있는 대기오염물질 측정기에 온실가스를 측정기를 부착하여 측정된 통계로 구축하며, 국가레지스트리는 에너지관리공단의 온실가스 인증원 및 등록소에서 하고 있는 프로젝트기반 배출권 관리업무와 새로운 할당량기반 배출권 업무를 통합할 수 있는 한국온실가스등록소(가칭)를 설립하는 것이 효율적이라 생각된다. 그리고 최근 탄소시장은 현물은 물론 선물 및 옵션의 거래가 활발한 추세를 감안하여 배출권거래소는 한국증권선물거래소에 설치하고, 결제청산업무는 증권선물거래소와 업무 연관네트워크가 이미 구축되어 있는 증권예탁결제원에서 담당하는 것이 시간과 비용을 절감할 수 있는 방안이라고 생각된다.
