This paper tries to elicit an optimal generation mix of Korea. Two approaches, using the screening curve method and taking advantage of a generation expansion planning tool, WASP-IV, are applied in getting the mix. The data used in this study is based on the 5th basic plan for long-term electricity supply and demand. The Load Duration Curve, that is needed for applying Screening Curve Method(SCM), is made based on the load profile in 2010. In our using SCM, the nuclear plant's operation characteristic, carbon emission cost and spinning reserve are considered. In using WASP-IV to get the adequate generation mix, the base and target demand forecasts in the 5th basic plan are used and the carbon emission cost is also considered. In this paper, It introduces the domestic adequacy generation mix in 2024 though SCM and WASP-IV.

The generation of high purity hydrogen from reformed hydrocarbon fuels, or syngas, is essential for efficient operation of the fuel cell (PEMFC, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell). Usually, major components of reformed gas are $H_2$, CO, $CO_2$ and $H_2O$. Especially a major component, CO poisons the electrode of fuel cells. The water gas shifter (WGS) that shifts CO to $CO_2$ and simultaneously produces $H_2$, was developed to a two stage catalytic conversion process involving a high temperature shifter (HTS) and a low temperature shifter (LTS). Also, experiments were carried out to reduce the carbon monoxide up to $3{\sim}4%$ in the HTS and lower than 5,000 ppm via the LTS.

We correlate the failure in miniature X-ray tubes with the field emission gate leakage current of gated carbon nanotube emitters. The miniature X-ray tube, even with a small gate leakage current, exhibits an induced voltage on the gate electrode by the anode bias voltage, resulting in a very unstable operation and finally a failure. The induced gate voltage is apparently caused by charging at the insulating spacer of the miniature X-ray tube through the gate leakage current of the field emission. The gate leakage current could be a criterion for the successful fabrication of miniature X-ray tubes.

Advanced Railway countries are developing technologies of production and management for low-carbon and green growth of their railway industry to hold a dominant position under post-Tokyo protocol regime through integrated approach which uses environmental quantitative analysis of train life cycle by using LCA(Life Cycle Assessment). On the contrary, Korea railroad industry attempts to make an environmental improvement only for using regenerative energy and improvement in operating energy consumption through adapting reduction weight of material technology and etc. without systematic environmental analysis approaches such as comparing and analyzing energy consumption as well as GHG emission in each life cycle stages of train. Therefore, In this paper, low-carbon management and comprehensive environmental improvement for sustainable development of Korea railway industry through analyzing the result of life cycle analysis in abroad are suggested.

The micro-gas sensor based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was fabricated and its gas sensing characteristics on nitrogen dioxide ($NO_{2}$) have been investigated. The sensor consists of a heater, an insulating layer, a pair of contact electrodes, and CNT-sensing film on a micromachined diaphragm. The heater plays a role in the temperature change to modify sensor operation. Gas sensor responses of CNT-film to $NO_{2}$ at room temperature are reported. The sensor exhibits a reversible response with a time constant of a few minutes at thermal treatment temperature of $130^{\circ}C$.

We suggest a systematic method for obtaining the optimal compression ratio in the multi-stage closed-loop compression process of carbon dioxide. Instead of adopting the compression ratio of 3 to 4 by convention, we propose a novel approach based on mathematical analysis and simulation. The mathematical analysis prescribes that the geometric mean is a better initial value than the existing empirical value in identifying the optimal compression ratio. In addition, the optimization problem considers the initial installation cost as well as the energy required for the operation. We find that it is best to use the fifth stage in the general closed-loop type carbon dioxide multi-stage compression process.

최근 전 세계적으로 지구온난화가 주요 현안으로 대두되고 있고, 국내에서는 저탄소 녹색성장이라는 슬로건 아래 국가 온실가스 감축 목표 및 산업계로의 할당 등을 설정해 지구온난화에 대응하고 있다. 막대한 사회간접자본이 투입되는 사회기반시설의 건설에 대한 대응은 그 무엇보다 중요한 역할을 차지한다 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 사회기반시설 중 건설 시 대규모 자원이 투입되고 운영 및 유지관리 시 막대한 에너지 및 자원이 소비되는 도로를 대상으로 하고 있다. 도로의 전과정에 따른 탄소배출량 산정방법을 제시하고, 제시한 산정방법에 따라 현재 건설중인 도로의 사례분석을 통해 탄소배출량을 산정하였다. 또한, 사례분석을 통해 도출된 원단위를 이용해 우리나라 전체 고속국도의 누적탄소배출량 및 2020년까지 누적탄소배출량을 산정하였다.

The Product Carbon Footprint Labeling has been run for more than four years by the Ministry of Environment and there are number of products labeled by KEITI(Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute), as for declaring products with their carbon emission during life cycle stages. There are several categories for certifying products by the characteristics of usage. Building products which are applied to a building as combined components or elements, are classified as production goods which means that the products are chosen by a business, not by a final consumer. In this paper, current status of PCF labeling has been reviewed focused on building products and the characteristics of carbon emission by a kind of product such as interior products, window products, structural products, system products and others. Until Dec. 2013, 82 products has been labeled and it covers about 53% among labeled product goods by the certification. Among the labeled building products, interior products are main products. From the results of comparison, variations of emission amounts by products have been found and the cause of variation could be explained by the purpose and material properties of products. However, the exact reason for variations cannot be acquired because of lack of information and the short operation period of the certification program. Further studies and more products are needed to be studied and analyzed focused on the emission characteristic by each product and to suggest reduction technologies for sustainable building products.

In this study, substrate removal characteristics were analyzed to reduce the cost of external carbon dosage at Sudokwon Landfill Site Management Corporation in Korea by utilizing oxygen uptake rate (OUR) and nitrate uptake rate (NUR) tests. To estimate and evaluate the substrate removal characteristics obtained by the batch tests, the lab-scale MLE process was operated. By-products of J Co. (sugar manufactory) and S Co. (fine chemical industry) were selected as the concerned carbon sources through a comparison of carbon and nitrogen contents. MeOH was tested as a control experiment. Until the steady state, the fraction of $RBDCOD_{OUR}$ concentration to COD concentration of J Co., S Co. by-products and MeOH increased and reached levels of 98%, 82%, and 100%, respectively. During the 20th operating day, the fraction of $RBDCOD_{NUR}$ concentration to COD concentration was 95%, 81%, and 83%, respectively. These fractions of $RBDCOD_{NUR}$ concentration to $RBDCOD_{OUR}$ concentration increased according to acclimation periods and reached levels of 99%, 97%, and 81%, respectively, on the 20th day. The results obtained from the lab-scale MLE process operation using the concerned carbon sources as external carbon were similar to that observed by OUR and NUR tests.

정수용 입상활성탄 (granular activated carbon, GAC)으로 사용되는 식물계와 석탄계 활성탄의 미생물 재생장 현상을 파악하고 비교하기 위해 활성탄 칼럼을 대상으로, 유입수와 유출수 비교와 함께 활성탄 상의 종속영양세균의 분포와 활성을 분석하였다. 활성탄 칼럼은 총유기탄소와 잔류염소를 잘 제거하였으며 이온은 잘 제거하지 못하는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 칼럼 유출수의 세균수는 10일째 파과 (breakthrough)가 발생한 후 증가하여 최종적으로 석탄계와 식물계 활성탄에서 각각 1.1 ${\times}$ $10^3$, 6.2 ${\times}$ $10^2$ CFU/mL로 나타났다. 칼럼 내부 활성탄 상의 미생물 활성은 GAC-C가 15.35~29.06$\mu\textrm{g}$ INT-formazan/g-GAC/h이었고, 세균수와 세균활성 모두 석탄계가 조금 높았다. 입상활성탄 상의 미생물 재생장 현상이 확인되었고, 석탄계 활성탄이 야자계 활성탄보다 미생물 재생장 유발 효과가 큰 것으로 판명되었으며, 활성탄 상의 세균에 의한 유기물 제거능력이 확인되었다.
