Renewable energy sources play a key role in achieving carbon neutrality and zero net emissions in the power generation sector. Various efforts have been made to support the deployment of renewable energy, particularly solar photovoltaic and wind power, including policies to internalize the external cost of carbon emissions. In this study, we conducted a financial analysis of a 800 MW floating photovoltaic system and compared it with ground solar power generation. Additionally, we conducted a cost-benefit analysis that included the social cost of carbon. The findings showed that the floating photovoltaic project can meet the profitability target through an appropriately designed internalization of the social cost of carbon.

This study organizes scenarios on the power supply and demand plans considering the uncertainties and the portion of distributed energy resources. In analysing the scenarios, it estimates total electricity supply cost in the social aspect, natural gas demand and air pollutants emission including carbon dioxide. Also the analysis is performed to estimate the marginal cost of carbon dioxide reduction for the fuel switching from coal to liquified natural gas. In result, the social cost could be decreased by replacing some portion of renewable energy by LNG-based combined heat and power and delaying the construction of large base-load generators such as coal and nuclear plants. The marginal carbon dioxide reduction cost by fuel switching is in plausible range for fuel switching to be an option for carbon dioxide emission reduction when the social cost is considered.

이 논문은 폐휴대전화의 인쇄회로기판(Printed Circuit Board, PCB) 재활용 공정에 대한 전과정평가(Life Cycle Assessment, LCA)와 경제성 평가를 통해, 탄소의 사회적 편익 관점에서 재활용의 사회‧경제적 효과를 정량화한다. 특히, 폐휴대전화의 PCB 재활용을 통한 금속 회수 공정과 전통적인 금속 채굴 및 제련 공정을 비교하고, 2018년과 2030년의 두 가지 발전 믹스를 적용하여 온실가스 배출량 변화를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 금과 구리의 경우 전통적 채굴 및 제련 과정보다 PCB 재활용 과정에서 각각 6.86배, 3.69배 더 많은 온실가스가 발생한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 2030년 발전 믹스를 적용할 경우, 재활용 공정에서 발생하는 온실가스 배출량은 구리와 금 회수에서 각각 44.72%, 44.65% 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 전기를 주 에너지원으로 사용하는 재활용 공정의 특성에 따른 결과이다. 이산화탄소의 사회적 비용을 고려한 비용편익분석 결과, B/C값이 1.95로 나타나 재활용의 경제적 타당성이 크다는 점이 확인되었다. 그러나 이 결과는 충분한 규모의 폐 PCB 확보 문제와 재활용 공정에서 배출되는 오염물질의 사회적 비용이 모두 고려되지 않았다는 한계가 있다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로, 앞으로 폐 PCB 재활용뿐만 아니라 최근 주목받고 있는 순환경제 및 재활용 공정에 대한 전과정평가를 통한 온실가스 배출량 분석과 탄소의 사회적 비용을 반영한 비용편익분석이 활발히 이어지기를 기대한다.

With the growing importance of GHG reduction, wood pellets are considered as a cheaper renewable energy and carbon neutral. On the other hand, there is a concern that the burning wood pellets may release even more air pollutants such as CO and VOCs. In this study, we analyzed the social costs of burning fuels including wood pellets and coals based on the unit calorific value. The social costs were calculated by sum of the import costs of the fuels and the emission costs of the air pollutants. The results showed that wood pellets are inferior to coals in the aspect of the social costs. It is necessary to improve the quality of the wood pellets and pellet boiler facilities for being used eco-friendly energy sources in the future. We suggest that the control facilities of CO and VOCs should be installed, if the control costs are lower than the pollution costs.

Kyoto Protocol is an international convention on concrete performance program for UNFCCC(United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change), which regulate and prevent to global warming and officially came into effect on February 16, 2005. Kyoto flexible mechanisms, the agreed environmental system in March 1997 in the Third Conference of Parties in UNFCCC General Assembly, Emission Trading System(ETS), Clean Development Mechanism(CDM) and Joint Implementation(JI), are key policies related to environment. In advanced countries, greenhouse gas emissions should be reduced average 5.2% level compared to 1990 in total emissions during 2008-2012. World leading carbon market finished the trial on the EU ETS I greenhouse gas emissions trading system, EU ETS II is operated regularly after 2008. World Bank leads to make 'Prototype Carbon Fund(PCF)' in April 2004, which is the world first carbon fund and a representative public carbon fund type, World Bank operate various funds including present PCF. Thus, I would like to propose as follows in relation to this study: First, in the validity analysis of carbon funds, it would be needed to analyze the Emission Reduction Cost Efficiency(ERCE) of carbon. The ERCE is a break-even value which brings the Net Present Value(NPV) to zero. NPV approach is used among projects and it enables potential projects to be compared and evaluated the ERCE on the basis of the net present value of net future cash flows. Therefore, according to results of analysis, carbon funds should be developed and invested. Second, it would be necessary to allow of issuing bonds together with carbon funds, carbon finance etc. Third, carbon funds, it would be reasonable to have a relatively enough maturity in project and as a financial derivatives in the international financial markets, it is needed various types of transactions. Fourth, it would be needed to standardize the carbon emissions trading for more efficiently. Fifth, it would be necessary to establish and invest in various kinds of domestic and overseas global carbon funds, including governments, privates, governments and privates sectors. And it is also needed to establish the medium and long term plans for carbon funds. Sixth, it would be needed to foster the advanced trade mechanisms for carbon funds in the most effective ways. Finally, carbon funds should be used in harmony with international societies to reduce global warming as the social responsible investing funds and it should be contribute to sustainable development. In addition, it would seem that carbon funds should be studied on establishing the contributable standard of sustainable development in the future assignment.

본 연구는 지구과학교육을 전공하는 예비교사들에게 SDGs(지속가능발전목표)와 연계된 ESD(지속가능발전교육)을 적용하기 위한 기초 연구이다. 연구의 목적은 예비교사가 내면화 하고 있는 탄소발자국에 대한 인식과 태도 및 지식, 주관적 규범 및 행동 통제를 분석하여 탄소 소양을 평가하는 것이다. 예비교사들은 탄소 발자국을 자신의 책임으로 인식하고 있지만, 비용을 지불하고 불편을 감수하는데 소극적인 이중적 태도를 갖고 있다. 또한 탄소 발자국을 줄이기 위한 행동을 지지하지만, 요구하지는 않는다. 탄소 저감 행동에 대한 상식은 충분한 반면, 지구 온난화의 원인과 결과에 대한 개념은 불안정하다. 예비교사들은 학교 현장으로 배출되어 수많은 학생들에게 지구 온난화 문제를 가르치게 될 것이다. 따라서 탄소 발자국을 줄이는 경제적 비용과 사회적 책임에 대한 소양 교육이 필수적이며, 생각과 행동 사이의 간극을 메울 수 있는 방법을 찾아야 할 것이다. 예비교사들의 탄소 소양(carbon literacy)에 대한 연구로부터 ESD로 이어지는 교육이 실현되기를 바란다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the evaluation standard of cost-effectiveness analysis for renew of architectural equipment in public building. Evaluation items of cost-effectiveness analysis for renew of architectural equipment in public building were used life cycle cost, energy consumption(ton of oil equivalent), green house gas emissions(ton of carbon dioxide) and maximum power demand. Life cycle cost is the process of making an economic assessment of an item, area, system, or facility by considering all significant costs of ownership over an economic life, expressed in terms of equivalent costs. The essence of life cycle costing is the analysis of equivalent costs of various alternative proposals. The social concern with green house gas and maximum power demand of architectural equipment field has been growing for the last several years.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for estimating additional carbon emissions due to freeway incidents. METHODS : As our country grows, our highway policy has mainly neglected the environmental and social sectors. However, with the formation of a national green growth keynote and an increase in the number of people interested in environmental and social issues, problems related to social issues, such as traffic accidents and congestion, and environmental issues, such as the impact of air pollution caused by exhaust gases that are emitted from highway vehicles, are beginning to be discussed. Accordingly, studies have been conducted on a variety of environmental aspects in the field of road transport, and for the quantitative calculation of greenhouse gas emissions, using various methods. However, in order to observe the effects of carbon emissions, microscopic simulations must use many difficult variables such as cost, analysis time, and ease of analysis process. In this study, additional greenhouse gas emissions that occur because of highway traffic accidents were classified by type (incident handling time, number of lanes blocked, freeway level of service), and the annual additional emissions based on incidents were calculated. According to the results, congestion length and emissions tend to increase with an increase in incident clearance time, number of occupied lanes, and worsening level of service. Using this data, we analyzed accident data on the Gyeong-bu Expressway (Yang-Jae IC - Osan IC) for a year. RESULTS : Additional greenhouse gas emissions that occur because of highway traffic accidents were classified by type (incident handling time, number of lanes blocked, freeway level of service) and annual additional emissions caused by accidents were calculated. CONCLUSIONS : In this study, a methodology for estimating carbon emissions due to freeway incidents was developed that incorporates macroscopic flow models. The results of the study are organized in the form of a look-Up table that calculates carbon emissions rather easily.
