Recently, many countries all over the world have been suffered from disaster caused by climate change. Especially in case of developed countries, the disaster is concentrated in the industry sector. In this research, we analyzed industrial vulnerable homogeneous hotspot for the climate change using spatial autocorrelation analysis on the south Korea. Homogeneous hot spot areas through autocorrelation analysis indicate the spatial pattern of areas interacted each other. Industry sector have responsibility of green house gas emissions, and should adapt to the climate change caused by greenhouse gas already released. So, we integrated the areas sensitive to mitigation option with the areas hardly adapt to climate change because of vulnerable infrastructure. We expected that the result of this research could contribute to the decision-making system of climate change polices.

South Korean central government has launched the first comprehensive climate change policies in 1999, and they have been renewed every three year. The third policies ended in 2007. However, it is quite rare to analyze whether the climate change policies are effective against climate change. In this context, this paper aims at analyzing the effectiveness of climate change policy which was launched for seven years from 1999 to 2007 in South Korea. The effectiveness analysis of policy can be done in terms of the individual policy and/or all policies being synthesized as a comprehensive unit. Employing the latter methodology, this paper analyzed the effectiveness on the basis of economic growth as independent variable, greenhouse gas emission as dependent variable, and energy use and its process as intervening variable. Seven analytic indicators covering the three variables were selected on the basis of two points in time before and after climate change policy having been launched. The seven indicators were analyzed in terms of three aspects. They were the change in the state of each indicator, the effectiveness of climate change policy from 1999 to 2007, and the effectiveness process from 1999 to 2007. The effectiveness process was analyzed in terms of the relational context and its flow processing path. Economic growth was advanced remarkably with increase in the total consumption of energy. As a result, greenhouse gas emission increased. However, energy efficiency increased with significant decrease in energy intensity, carbon intensity, and energy elasticity. The expansion of new and renewable energy over total energy supply was not effective significantly on the decrease in greenhouse gas emission. The processing path of climate change policy being effective advanced toward increase in energy efficiency through energy intensity rather than toward sustainable development. Such a way of the effectiveness of climate change policy implies that most policies focused on adaptation rather than on mitigation.

United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC) is one of the international environmental convention with the goal of stabilizing Greenhouse Gas(GHG) concent in the atmosphere and preventing potentially dangerous change in the earth's climate. The purpose of this convention is to reduce fossil fuel consumption and to prevent GHG emission. The Republic of Korea was one of the Annex-II parties submitted its national communication to the UNFCCC. As a developing county, there is no GHG emission reduction commitments made by South Korea during first commitment period(2008~2012). On the contrary, South Korea' status as an OECD member, joining in 1996, ranks 6th in GHG emission. Furthermore the rate of increase of GHG is first among OECD countries in year 2005. As a result, Korea will probably be incorporated into Annex-I in second commitment period (after 2013). So, Korea government established and announced Voluntary GHG Reduction scheme to reduce emissions of 4%(accounting for 30% reduction base on Business As Usual) from the 2005 level by the year 2020 for mitigation of reduction duty impact. In specific case of Korea, transportation section occupied almost 21% of total energy consumption and nearly 17% of total GHG emission at 2005, so systematic emission management is required. To do so, in this research, we focus on systematic way of GHG management system to handle GHG reduction duties in Railroad section.

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.

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.

아산화질소($N_2O$)는 기후변화를 야기하는 온실가스임과 동시에 오존층을 파괴하는 가스이다. 하폐수 처리시 생물학적 질소 제거 공정에서 주로 배출되는 아산화질소가 환경에 미치는 영향은 매우 중요하므로 대책 수립이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 하폐수 처리과정의 아산화질소 배출 관련 최신 연구동향을 종합적으로 고찰함으로써, 아산화질소의 배출량 및 생성에 미치는 주요 인자의 영향을 이해하고, 아산화질소 배출 저감 전략 수립에 필요한 정보를 도출하였다. 하폐수 처리공정에서 아산화질소가 배출되는 주요 경로는 hydroxylamine 산화, nitrifier 탈질 및 종속영양 탈질공정의 3가지로 구분된다. 실험실, 파일럿 및 실 규모 하폐수 처리 공정을 대상으로 아산화질소 배출량을 측정한 결과 아산화질소 배출량의 질소 부하량의 0-95%로 변이가 매우 컸다. 실 규모 하폐수 처리공정에서는 질소 부하량의 0-14.6%가 아산화질소로 배출되고, 평균값과 중간값은 각각 1.95%와 0.2%이었다. 아산화질소 배출량에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 운전인자는 용존산소와 아질산염 농도 및 COD/N 비율이었다. 아산화질소 배출 저감을 위해 운전인자를 조절하는 다양한 전략이 보고되고 있다. 또한, 하폐수 처리공정에서 아산화질소 배출 저감하기 위한 새로운 전략으로, 높은 아산화질소 환원효소 활성을 가진 미생물을 활용하거나, 기존의 탈질공정 대신 산소발생 탈질공정(oxygenic denitrification)을 도입하는 것이 제안되고 있다.

바이오차 시용이 토양비옥도나 온실가스 완화에 기여하는 것 외에, 경작지 시용에 따른 탄소격리 및 순익 분석이 평가된바 거의 없다. 본 연구는 옥수수 재배 기간 동안 온실가스 완화에 대한 이익을 평가하고, 탄소격리를 산정하기 위해 수행되었다. 본 실험의 처리구는 돈분처리구, 돈분을 퇴비로 시용하면서 바이오차 처리를 2,600(0.2%), 13,000(1%), 및 26,000(2%) kg/ha로 나누어 시용하였다. 바이오차 시용에 따른 탄소 격리량을 예측하기 위해 Y = 0.5523X - 742.57 ($r^2=0.939^{**}$) 일차 모형식을 유도하였으며, 본 수식을 바탕으로 바이오차 0.2, 1 및 2% 시용 시 탄소 격리량은 각각 1,235, 3,978, 및 14,794 kg/ha로 산정되었고, 온실가스 완화는 각각 4.5, 14.6, 및 54.2 ton/ha로 평가 되었다. 이에 대한 이익 평가는 적게는 $14.6, 많게는 $452로 산정되었다. 또한 한국 기후변화 시장의 이산화탄소 시장 거래가로는 바이오차 0.2, 1 및 2% 시용 시 $35.6, $115.3 및 $428.2로 나타났다. 바이오차 시용에 대한 작물 재배에 있어, 초장과 수량은 처리간에 유의차가 인정되지 않았다. 따라서 본 실험결과는 농사활동에서 바이오차를 토양에 시용함으로서 탄소 배출건 거래제가 시행된다는 전제 조건하에 기초자료가 될 것이다.

기후변화에 대응하기 위하여 지역, 국가, 세계 차원에서 온실가스 배출량 감축 목표가 논의되고 있다. 정부가 2009년에 국가 중기 온실가스 감축목표를 발표한 이후, 16개 광역시 도 또한 자체적으로 2020년 온실가스 감축목표를 수립하였다. 본 연구는 16개 광역시 도의 온실가스 배출 특성과 2020년 온실가스 감축 목표 및 이행 전략을 검토 및 비교하였다. 대부분의 광역시 도는 소비에 기반한 배출량 산정 방식을 택하고 있었다. 감축목표는 대체로 2020년까지 온실가스 총배출량을 배출량 전망치 대비 30% 감축하는 목표를 수립하고 있었지만, 일부 광역시 도에서는 온실가스 순배출량을 과거의 특정년도 대비 감축하는 목표를 채택하고 있었다. 2020년 배출량 전망이나 과거 특정년도의 배출량, 그리고 1인당 배출량 등 채택하는 지표에 따라서 광역시 도별 감축목표의 강도는 다르게 평가되었다. 광역시 도별 배출량 특성에 따라서 핵심적인 감축 이행 부문 또한 차이를 보였다. 광역시도의 배출량 산정과 감축목표 수립의 개선 방안으로, 광역시 도 온실가스 인벤토리 개발을 위한 세부 자료에 대한 정부와 광역시도간 공유, 상향식 및 하향식 분석 모형 활용, 전망치 및 기준년도 대비 감축목표 제시, 기후변화대응계획과 에너지계획의 통합 또는 연계 수립 등이 요구된다.

Following public expectations from the emergence of an international agreement with greater legal force after the expiration of the 2012 Kyoto Protocol, Korea is also making efforts to effectively and systematically initiate the mitigation policy and enforce the terms of the international climate change agreement. The majority of domestic industries are candidates for greenhouse gas emission regulation, thereby requiring the proposal of a method that effectively reduces environmental contaminate substances released from railway facilities, following the prediction of an increase in railway usage as an environment-friendly transportation method in the future. Accordingly, this study has quantitatively calculated the amount of released environmental contaminates through the life cycle assessment (LCA) on railway facility constructions, and has evaluated the environmental load and the amount of greenhouse gas emissions through the resulting values. The results of the LCA analysis showed that the amount of environmental load was the highest at the early stages of material implementation and construction, and that the value of global warming was viewed as the highest among the effects. As officially announced by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Program that $CO_2$ is the main culprit of global warming, the analytical values confirmed that the amount of $CO_2$ emissions accounted for more than half of the released greenhouse gases at 2.90E+04tons. The environmental load and $CO_2$ emission rates analyzed in this study are judged to be used in the deduction of the optimum environment-friendly method and quantitative environmental effect of railway facility constructions in the future, as the values can be evaluated based on their degree of environment friendliness.

국가의 온실가스 감축목표를 달성하기 위한 방안으로 온실가스 목표관리제를 시행하고 있다. 온실가스 감축목표를 달성하기 위해서는 온실가스 인벤토리가 구축되어야 하며, 효과적인 온실가스 감축 수단을 도출하기 위해서는 온실가스 배출 특성을 분석해야 한다. 국내외에서는 온실가스 배출 및 에너지 사용 특성을 분석하기 위한 방법론으로 로그평균디비지아지수(LMDI: Log Mean Divisia Index) 분석 기법이 자주 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 온실가스 배출특성을 LMDI 분석 방법론을 통해 전환효과, 원단위효과, 생산효과, 거리효과 등의 4가지 요인으로 나누어 분석하였다. 분석 대상은 한국철도공사가 관리하는 광역철도 및 도시철도를 대상으로 하였으며, 자료의 분석 기간은 2000년부터 2007년까지로 설정하였다. 분해분석결과 2000년과 2007년 사이의 철도수송에 따른 온실가스 배출량의 총효과는 96,813톤$CO_2eq$으로 나타났다. 철도 수송에 따른 온실가스 배출량 증가에 영향을 미치는 효과는 생산효과와 거리효과로 나타났으며, 온실가스 배출량 감소에 영향을 미치는 효과는 전환효과와 원단위효과로 나타났다.
