The purpose of this study is to identify the driven factors affecting the changes in energy-related $CO_2$ emissions in Hebei Province of China from 1995 to 2013. This study confirmed that energy-related $CO_2$ emissions are correlated with the population, urbanization level, economic development degree, industry structure, foreign trade degree, technology level and energy proportion through an improved STIRPAT model. A reasonable and more reliable outcome of STIRPAT model can be obtained with the introducing of the Ridge Regression, which shows that population is the most important factor for $CO_2$ emissions in Hebei with the coefficient 2.4528. Rely on these discussions about affect abilities of each driven factors, we conclude several proposals to arrive targets for reductions in Hebei's energy-related $CO_2$ emissions. The method improved and relative policy advance improved pointing at empirical results also can be applied by other province to make study about driven factors of the growth of carbon emissions.

We examine historical contributions of inter fuel substitution, changes in carbon efficiency and energy intensity, growth of economy and population to Korea's $CO_2$ emissions from 1970 to 1998 using the log mean weight Divisia index method. The study reveals that economic growth is the most significant factor to $CO_2$ emissions growth among the five factors. Changes in the fuel substitution and carbon coefficient are found negative contributors to $CO_2$ emissions growth. Energy intensity, which played dominant role in halting $CO_2$ emissions growth in the 1980s, began to play reversed role in the 1990s. When evaluated with the log mean Divisia index technique, deterioration of energy intensity in the 1990s is found worse and expected to contribute $CO_2$ emissions growth further.

In this study, the new particulate matter emissions considering condensable PM (CPM) of stationary pollutant sources were calculated to modify the CAPSS emissions based on only filterable PMs in Seoul and Incheon. When the new calculated emissions were compared to the existing filterable PM based emissions of local governments, different contribution patterns of emission sources were found. For example, the proportion of mobile sources was high when the filterable PM was considered; however, the contribution of non-industrial sources was dominant in Seoul when the emissions of CPM were considered. Also, the proportion of energy industrial combustion and manufacturing combustion sources was significant in Incheon when CPM emissions considered. Therefore, it seems to be much desirable to consider CPM emissions for determining adequate locations of collective energy facilities and manufacturing combustion facilities in the future. In addition, CPM should be considered to solve the dust problem nationwide. The emission analysis, diagnosis, prediction and countermeasures using CPM emissions should be appropriately performed.

우리나라는 폐기물의 에너지화를 통해 기후변화와 에너지 부족 문제를 극복하려고 하고 있으며, 폐기물을 에너지화하려는 지속적인 노력에 따라 폐기물 소각처리가 점차 확대되고 있다. 이에 따른 폐기물 소각에서의 온실가스 배출량은 점차 증가할 전망이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 열 회수를 통해 열과 전력을 생산하는 생활폐기물 소각장을 대상시설로 선정하였다. 대상시설로 선정된 폐기물 소각발전시설에서 배출되는 온실가스 배출량을 산정하기 위한 방법을 모색하고, 온실가스 배출량 및 배출계수를 산정하였다. 대상시설에서의 $CO_2$ 배출농도는 평균 6.99%로 나타났으며, 이를 온실가스 배출량으로 산정한 결과, 총 배출량은 $254.60ton\;CO_2/day$로 나타났다. 바이오매스 소각에 의해 배출된 온실가스를 제외한 순 배출량은 $110.59ton\;CO_2/day$로 나타났다. 또한, 온실가스 배출량을 소각시설에서 생산된 열과 전력으로 구분하여 배출량을 산정한 후, 각각의 생산단위 당 온실가스 배출량으로 온실가스 배출계수를 산정하였다. 산정된 열 배출계수는 $0.047ton\;CO_2/GJ$, 전력 배출계수는 $0.652ton\;CO_2/MWh$로 나타났다. 산정된 전력 배출계수는 화석연료를 사용하는 화력발전소의 전력배출계수인 $0.783ton\;CO_2/MWh$보다 약 17% 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 산정된 온실가스 배출량 및 배출계수에 중요한 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 폐기물 성상과 화석탄소함량으로 평가된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the impact of engine load on the emission characteristics of excavator engines, with the aim of improving the method for calculating the emission inventory of construction machinery. The engine load in excavators is directly correlated with the operational workload, and variations in the load factor (LF) can significantly influence the emission inventory. Thus, on-board diagnostic (OBD) data from an excavator at a construction site were systematically collected to measure engine output and emissions. The results revealed discernible differences in emissions based on engine load, even when the average excavator engine performance remained constant. This highlights the significant influence of the type and characteristics of the work being carried out on emission characteristics. Making realistic adjustments to the LF used in emission calculation formulas emerges as a crucial strategy for environmental improvement. Moreover, the analysis of the effects of engine load on emissions from excavators provides valuable insights for enhancing environmental protection measures.

본 논문은 LMDI(Log Mean Divisia Index) 방법론을 이용하여 국내 제조업의 온실가스 배출에 대한 요인분해분석을 하였다. 국내 제조업의 온실가스 배출에 대한 요인분해는 크게 생산효과, 구조효과, 집약도효과, 에너지믹스효과, 배출계수효과 등 다섯 가지 요인으로 분해하였다. 1991년~2007년까지 국내 제조업의 온실가스 배출변화 요인을 분석한 결과를 보면 국내 제조업의 온실가스 배출은 대부분 생산효과에 의해서 증가하였다. 구조효과와 집약도는 온실가스 배출을 줄이는 역할을 하였으며, 구조효과보다는 집약도효과가 더 많이 온실가스 배출을 감소시키는 방향으로 작용하였다. 그리고 에너지믹스효과와 배출계수효과는 다른 효과들에 비해서 그 비중이 작지만 온실가스 배출 증감에 영향을 미치고 있다. 에너지믹스효과는 온실가스 배출 증가 요인으로 배출계수효과는 감소요인으로 작용하였다. 한편 시계열로 에너지 소비를 요인분해 해 본 결과 1998년 IMF 체제를 전후로 온실가스 패턴에 변화가 일어났다. IMF 체제 이후로 구조효과와 집약도효과에 의한 온실가스 감축이 IMF 체제 이전보다 더욱 두드러진 것이 특징이다. 2001년 이후 진행된 신고유가 시대를 맞이해서는 구조효과와 집약도효과가 더욱 촉진되었다.

Recently, yearly production of SRF (Solid Recovered Fuel) as an alternative fuel has been rapidly increasing because of the limited waste disposal, rise in oil prices and reduction of greenhouse gas emission. However, SRF using facilities are excluded from the National Air Pollutant Emission Estimation because SRF using facilities are not yet included among the SCC (Source Classification Code). The purpose of this research was to estimate the emission and emission factor of SRF using facilities' PM and $NO_x$, in order to investigate whether or not they are included in the National Air Pollutant Emission Estimation. The emission factors of SRF using facilities' PM and $NO_x$ are calculated as 0.216 kg/ton, and 3.970 kg/ton, and the emission was estimated based on the yearly total SRF usage of 2011. The results above was 18.7% for PM and 12.8% for $NO_x$ emissions from combustion facility (SCC2) in manufacturing industry combustion (SCC1) of CAPSS. If CAPSS estimate the emission by adding SCC on unlisted SRF in case of Boiler (SCC3) fuel, both PM and $NO_x$'s emissions would increase by 15.8% and 11.3% compare to the emissions for the existing combustion facility. As a result, emissions caused by SRF should be considered when calculating the National Air Pollutant Emission Estimation. In addition, further researches to develop emission factor and improve subdivided SCC should be done in the future, for the accurate and reliable estimation of National Emission.

Emission reduction in the cold start period of SI engines is crucial to meet stringent emission regulations such as SULEV Emissoin reduction is the starting point of the study in the which the variable valve timing (VVT) technology may be one promising method to minimize cold start emissions while maintaining engine performance. This is because it is possible to change valve overlap and residual gas fraction during cold start and idle operations. Our previous study showed that spark timing is another important factor for reducing cold-start emissions since it affects warm-up time of close-coupled catalysts (CCC) by changing exhaust gas temperature. However, even though these factors may be favorable for reduction of emissions, they may deteriorate combustion stability in these operating conditions. This means that the two variables should be optimized for best exhaust emissions and engine stability. This study investigated the effects of valve and spark timings in idle performance such as combustion stability and exhaust emissions. Experiments showed that valve timings significantly affected engine stability and exhaust emissions, especially CO and $NO_x$, due to change in residual gas fraction within the combustion chamber. Spark timing also affects HC emissions and exhaust gas temperature. Yet it has no significant effects on combustion stability. A control strategy of proper valve timing and spark timing is suggested in order to achieve a reduction in exhaust emissions and a stable operation of the engine in a cold start and idle operation.

Biogenic Volatile Organic Compound (BVOC) emissions are estimated with BEIS3.12 (Biogenic Emissions Inventory System version 3.12) over the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) and then used in CMAQ (Community Multiscale Air Quality) simulations for two high ozone episodes in 2004 and 2007 June. The first- and second-order sensitivity coefficients of ozone to BVOC emissions are estimated with High-order Decoupled Direct Method (HDDM) simulation in order to estimate the influence of BVOC emissions on ozone using the Zero-Out Contribution (ZOC) approach. ZOC analysis shows that relative contribution of BVOC emissions on daily maximum 1-hr ozone is as high as 30% for high ozone days above 100 ppb. However simulated isoprene concentrations were over-estimated by a factor of 2 when compared to the observations at the PAMS (Photochemical Air Monitoring Station) for the 2007 episode. When assumed that actual BVOC emissions are 50% less than estimated, the ZOC of BVOC emissions on daily maximum ozone drops by more than 10 ppb for the episode. The result indicates that uncertainty in BVOC emissions may have significant impact on high ozone prediction in the SMA.

본 연구는 국가 온실가스 배출량 평가에서 향후 적용될 2006 IPCC 신규 가이드라인의 적용성을 검토하고자 해외사례를 분석하고, 기존 가이드라인과의 방법론 및 배출계수 차이점을 분석하여 실제 배출량을 산정해 보고자 수행하였다. 해외 ANNEX I 국가들의 적용성을 검토한 결과 우리나라와 농업여건이 비슷한 일본의 경우 일부는 2006 IPCC 가이드라인의 방법론과 배출계수를 적용하고 있었으며, 미국의 경우는 대부분이 2006 IPCC 가이드라인을 적용하여 배출량을 산정하였다. 1996 IPCC와 2006 IPCC 가이드라인의 방법론과 기본계수를 적용하여 경종부문 온실가스 배출량을 평가한 결과, 신규가이드라인을 적용했을 때 약 26~29%의 배출량이 감소되었다. 이러한 배출량 차이에 대한 주요 원인은 일부 배출원 항목에 대한 삭제 및 배출계수의 차이에 있음을 알 수 있었다.
