Emission regulations on greenhouse gas(GHG) in automobiles have been stringent because of global warming effect. Over 90% of total GHG emission are carbon dioxides and about 20% of this $CO_2$ emission are emitted from automobiles. In this study, 110 vehicles were tested on a chassis dynamometer and $CO_2$ emissions and fuel economy were measured in order to investigate the characteristics of $CO_2$ emission factor from passenger vehicles which are the most dominant vehicle type in Korea. The characteristics of emissions in accordance with displacements, gross vehicle weight, NIER and CVS-75 speed mode were discussed. It was found that vehicles having larger displacement, heavier gross vehicle weight, automatic transmission and specially at cold start emitted more $CO_2$ emissions. From these results, correlation between $CO_2$ emission and fuel economy was also obtained. This study may contribute to evaluate domestic greenhouse gas emissions and establish national policies on climate changes in future.

As the concerns regarding global worming were increased, the pressure of greenhouse gas(GHG) emission reduction on mobile source was also increased. Carbon dioxides contribute over 90% of total GHG emission and the mobile source occupies about 20% of this $CO_2$ emission. Therefore automotive exhaust is suspected to be one of the major reasons of the rapid increase in greenhouse effect gases in ambient air. In this study, in order to investigate $CO_2$ emission characteristics from gasoline passenger cars(PC), which is the most dominant vehicle type in Korea, 106 vehicles were tested on the chassis dynamometer. $CO_2$ emissions and fuel efficiency were measured. The emission characteristics by displacement, gross vehicle weight, vehicle speed and CVS-75/vehicle speed mode were discussed. Test modes were vehicle speed modes and CVS-75 mode that have been used to develop emission factors and to regulate for light-duty vehicle in Korea. It was found that $CO_2$ emissions showed higher large displacement, heavy gross vehicle weight, low vehicle speed and CVS-75 mode than small displacement, light gross vehicle weight, high vehicle speed and vehicle speed mode, respectively. From these results, correlation between $CO_2$ emission and fuel efficiency was also determined. The results of this study will contribute to domestic greenhouse gas emissions calculation and making the national policy for climate change.

PURPOSES : The aim of this article is to compare and identify eco-friendly competitiveness between (regional) motorway and high-speed rail(HSR) from the perspective of $CO_2$ emission in the Republic of Korea. METHODS : In order for an analysis of low-carbon competitiveness between the two modes, $CO_2e$ emission, $CO_2eppk$ (equivalent $CO_2$ gram per passenger kilometer), is employed as a comparison index. As for HSR, the index is calculated based on the passenger transport data and the gross of $CO_2e$ produced by Kyungbu high-speed line in 2013. Additionally, the gross of $CO_2e$ is computed by the greenhouse gas emission factors of domestic electricity generation mix. Regarding the index of motorway, it is directly calculated using both the official $CO_2e$ emission factor and the passenger-car occupancy of motorway. RESULTS : The results revealed, in the case of inter-regional transport, that the $CO_2e$ emission of displacement-based cars is 54.9% less than that of HSR, as the domestic electric power systems heavily relies on the thermal power plants over 66%. Note that internal combustion engines commonly used for vehicles are more energy-efficient than steam-driven turbines usually utilized for thermal power generation. CONCLUSIONS : It can be seen, at the very least in our study, that HSR has no superiority over motorway in the case of $CO_2e$ emission under the situations of domestic electricity generation mix. In addition, advanced eco-friendly vehicles have strong advantages over HSR. Therefore, all-out efforts should be made to develop and harvest renewable energy sources in order to achieve low-carbon HSR, sparing fossil fuels.

Recently, as carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions have increased overall and contributed to air pollution, and awareness of environmental degradation has grown. This study examines the impacts and causalities of economic globalization, economic growth, energy consumption, and capital formation on CO₂ emissions in China over the period 1971-2014. The vector error correction model (VECM) and Granger causality test on time-series data are employed to observe the interactions between CO₂ emission, economic globalization, and various economic factors, including economic growth, energy consumption, and capital formation, since China's early stage of globalization. The empirical results indicate the existence of bidirectional causalities from economic growth, gross capital formation, economic globalization, and CO₂ emission to energy consumption, and bidirectional casualty from energy consumption to CO₂ emission relationships in the short run. The findings of this study suggest that indirect bidirectional causalities from economic growth, economic globalization, and capital formation to CO₂ emission through energy consumption are observed. Moreover, economic globalization accelerates CO₂ emission in the short run but decreases it in the long run. To reduce CO₂ emissions, and to ensure sustainable economic growth and economic globalization progress, some crucial energy-saving and energy-efficiency policies, regulatory rules, and laws are recommended.

Purpose: This study seeks to establish the environmental damage theory applicable to Kenya. The analysis is based on annual data drawn from World Bank on carbon dioxide emissions (CO2e) and gross domestic product per capita (GDPPC) for Kenya spanning 1963 to 2017. Research Methodology: The study adopts explanatory research design and autoregressive distributed lag model for analysis. Results: The results revealed a coefficient of -0.017 for GDPPC and 0.004 for GDPPC squared indicating that economic growth has negative effect on CO2e in the initial stages of growth but positive effect in the high growth regime with the marginal effect being higher in the initial growth regime. The findings suggest a U-shaped relationship consistent with Brundtland Curve Hypothesis (BCH). Conclusions: The findings emphasize the need for sustainable development path that enables present generations to meet own needs without compromising the capacity of future generations to meet their own. Sustainable development may include, investment in renewable energies like wind, solar and adoption of energy efficient technologies in production and manufacturing. The study concludes that BCH is applicable to Kenya and that developing affordable and effective mechanisms to boost sustainable development implementation is necessary to decrease the anthropogenic impact in the environment without any attendant reduction in the economic growth.

Lean combustion was applied to improve the thermal efficiency and emission in a single-cylinder, spark-ignition engine fueled with syngas. Under naturally aspirated conditions, the lean combustion significantly improved the thermal efficiency compared to the stoichiometric combustion, mainly due to the reduction in heat transfer loss. Intake air boost was applied to compensate the low power output of the lean combustion. The gross indicated power of 24.8 kW was achieved by increasing the intake pressure up to 1.6 bar at excess air ratio of 2.2. The nitrogen oxides showed near zero level, but the carbon monoxide emission was significant.

본 연구는 개별 국가 혹은 지역 단위 배출권 거래제도의 국제적 연계 가능성에 대비하기 위해 한 중 일 3국간의 배출권 거래제도 연계 시 예상되는 경제 환경적 영향을 분석하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 연산가능 일반균형모형을 통해 3국간 배출권 거래제 도입의 경제 환경적 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 한 중 일 3국간 탄소시장의 연계는 국가별로 다양한 측면에서 복잡한 영향을 미치게 됨을 확인할 수 있다. 한 중 일 배출권 거래제 연계 시행은 3국 전체의 실질 GDP를 증가시키는 긍정적 효과가 있음에도 불구하고 연계로 인한 이익의 국가간 분배가 불균형적임은 물론 실질 소비나 고용 등의 측면에서는 탄소시장 연계가 3국 전체적으로도 오히려 부정적인 영향을 초래할 수 있다는 점에서 반드시 긍정적인 효과만을 담보하는 것은 아니다. 특히 배출권 매입국인 한국과 일본의 소득 소비 고용 감소 및 에너지 의존도 증가, 배출권 매출국인 중국의 생산 감소 및 해외 이전 가능성은 3국간 탄소시장의 연계의 장애요인으로 작용할 수 있다. 3국간 탄소시장 연계를 통한 긍정적 효과를 최대한 유지하면서 예상되는 부정적 효과를 최소화하기 위해서는 배출권 수입 관세나 수입배출권 할인과 같은 보완적 정책수단의 개발 적용이 필요하다.

Gasoline direct injection(GDI) engine has a high thermal efficiency, but it has a problem to increase carbon emissions such as soot and $CO_x$. In this study, the objective is to analyze numerically a problem for adding the hydrogen during the intake stroke so as to reduce the injected amount of gasoline in GDI engines. For selection of the base model, the cylinder pressure of simulation is matched to experimental data. The numerical analysis are carried out by a CFD model with the hydrogen addition of 2%, 3% and 4% on the volume basis. In the case of 3% hydrogen addition, the injected gasoline amount is only changed to match the maximum pressure of simulation to that of the base model for additional study. It is found that the combustion temperature and pressure increase with the hydrogen addition. And NO emission also increases because of the higher combustion temperature. $CO_x$ emissions, however, are reduced due to the decrease of injected gasoline amount. Also, as the injected gasoline amount is reduced for the same hydrogen addition ratio, the gross indicated work is no significant, But NO and $CO_x$ emissions are considerably decreased. On the order hand, $CO_x$ emissions of two cases are more decreased and their gross indicated works are higher obtained than those of the base model.

본 논문은 한국을 대상으로 1976년부터 2014년까지 경제성장, 전력소비, $CO_2$ 배출과 외국인직접투자(FDI) 유입 간 인과관계를 단위근 검정, 공적분 검정, 벡터오차수정모형(VECM)을 적용하여 분석한다. 분석의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 경제성장과 전력소비 간에는 장기적으로 양방향의 인과관계가 나타나, 상호관계를 고려하지 않은 전력소비절약정책은 경제성장에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, $CO_2$ 배출은 경제성장에 대한 단방향의 장 단기적인 인과관계와 전력소비에 대한 단방향의 장기적인 인과관계를 나타내, $CO_2$ 배출 감축정책이 경제성장과 전력소비에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, FDI 유입은 경제성장에 대해 단방향의 장기적인 인과관계를, 전력소비에 대해 단방향의 장 단기적인 인과관계를 나타내, FDI 유입이 상대적으로 저렴한 전력소비비용에 기반을 둔 것으로 분석되었다. 반면, FDI 유입은 $CO_2$ 배출에 대해서는 인과관계가 없는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 서비스 산업 중심으로 이루어지는 FDI의 특성에 따른 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 네 변수 간 인과관계들을 고려할 때, 능동적인 전력수요관리를 위한 기술개발의 확대와 화석연료에서 신재생에너지로의 신중한 전환을 위한 정책 등이 모색되어야 한다. 또한 FDI 유치의 증대에 대응하여 에너지절약시설 투자 및 설치를 통해 전력소비 감축을 유도할 필요가 있다.
