본 논문은 1990~2016년 기간의 우리나라 온실가스 배출량과 경제성장 간 비동조화 수준에 대한 장단기 분석을 실시하였다. 환경쿠즈네츠곡선 존재 여부에 초점을 맞추어 수행된 기존 연구와 달리 본 연구는 온실가스와 경제성장 간 관계(온실가스 배출의 소득탄력성)의 단기 변동성에 초점을 맞추어 분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과 장기적으로는 온실가스 - 경제성장 - 화석연료 간 견고한 인과관계가 존재하여 비동조화로 평가하기에 어려운 것으로 나타난 반면, 단기적으로는 상대적 비동조화가 뚜렷하게 확인되었다. 이를 통해 현재 국가 온실가스 배출전망 및 감축목표 상에 배출 소득탄력성의 단기 변동성을 고려하지 못하는 한계점을 제기하였으며, 국가 단위 내 화석연료소비, 특히 발전부문의 화석연료 의존도가 온실가스 배출 소득탄성치의 단기 변동성을 낮추는 주요 요인임을 제시하였다.

벼-보리 이모작 재배시 발생하는 보릿짚은 예전에는 포장에서 수거되어 땔감이나 우사의 깔집 등으로 주로 이용되었으나 농촌 노동력 부족으로 인하여 소각이나 토양혼입 등으로 처리방법이 바뀜에 따라 농업생태계에 미치는 영향이 커지고 있다. 따라서 벼-보리 이모작 재배시 주요 보릿짚 처리방법인 소각, 논으로부터 제거, 토양 내 혼입 처리에 따른 온실가스 발생량을 구명하여 보릿짚 처리방법이 온실가스 배출에 미치는 영향을 밝히고자 시험을 수행하였다. 보릿짚의 소각($4.5Mg\;ha^{-1}$)시 발생하는 온실가스 발생량은 $CO_2\;4,607kg\;ha^{-1}$, $CH_4\;19.5kg\;ha^{-1}$, $N_2O\;0.9kg\;ha^{-1}$ 로 $CO_2$의 발생량이 가장 많았으며 이는 보릿짚내 총 탄소함량의 45~55%에 해당하였다. 각각의 보릿짚 처리 후 논에서 배출되는 온실가스량은 $CH_4\;387kg\;ha^{-1}$, $N_2O\;1.0kg\;ha^{-1}$로 보릿짚이 토양에 혼입된 논토양에서 발생량이 가장 많았으며, 다음으로 소각처리한 논토양과 포장 밖으로 제거 처리한 논의 순이었다. 보릿짚 처리방법이 온난화가스 배출에 미치는 영향을 소각시 발생한 양 및 논토양에서 배출되는 양을 합하여 지구온난화지수(GWP)로 계산한 결과, 소각시 $10,880CO_2\;kg\;ha^{-1}$, 토양혼입시 $8,439CO_2\;kg\;ha^{-1}$, 포장 밖 제거시 $3,614CO_2\;kg\;ha^{-1}$의 온실가스가 발생하여 소각처리에 비해 토양혼입과 포장 밖 제거시 각각 22.4%와 66.8%의 온실가스 배출량이 감소하였다.

The effects of water-saving irrigation on the emissions of greenhouse gases and the prokaryotic communities in rice paddy soils were investigated through a field experiment. In the Water-Saving (WS) irrigation, the water layer was kept at 2~3 cm while it was kept at 6 cm in the Continuousiy Flooding (CF) irrigation. A plot was treated with Intermittently Drainage (ID) that is drained as fine cracks on the floor were seen after transplanting. GHGs emission amounts from WS plots were reduced by 78.1% compared to that from CF plot and by 70.7% compared to that from ID plot, meaning that WS could help contribute to mitigation of the greenhouse gas accumulation in the atmosphere.

A closed flux chamber system was used for measuring major greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from tideland and/or wetland soils in estuarine area at Saemankum, Kunsan in southwestern Korea during from months of February to June 2006. Hourly averaged GHG soil emissions were measured two to three times a day during the ebb tide hours only. Site soils were analyzed for soil parameters (temperature, pH, total organic contents, N and C contents in soil) in the laboratory. Soil GHG fluxes were calculated based on the GHG concentration rate of change measured inside a closed chamber The analysis of GHG was conducted by using a Gas Chromatography (equipped with ECD/FID) at laboratory. Changes of daily, monthly GHGs' fluxes were examined. The relationships between the GHG emissions and soil chemical contents were also scrutinized with respect to gas production and consumption mechanism in the soil. Soil pH was pH $7.47{\pm}0.49$ in average over the experimental period. Organic matter contents in sample soil was $6.64{\pm}4.98\;g/kg$, and it shows relatively lower contents than those in agricultural soils in Kunsan area. Resulting from the soil chemistry data, soil nitrogen contents seem to affect GHG emission from the tidal land surface. The tidal soil was found to be either source or sink for the major GHG during the experimental periods. The annual average of $CH_{4}\;and\;CO_{2}$ fluxes were $0.13{\pm}0.86\;mg\;m^{-2}h^{-1}\;and\;5.83{\pm}138.73\;mg\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$, respectively, which will be as a source of these gases. However, $N_{2}O$ emission showed in negative flux, and the value was $-0.02{\pm}0.66\;mg\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$, and it implies tidal land surface act as a sink of $N_{2}O$. Over the experimental period, the absolute values of gas fluxes increased with soil temperature in general. Averages of the ambient gas concentration were $86.8{\pm}6.\;ppm$ in $CO_{2},\;1.63{\pm}0.34\;ppm\;in\;CH_{4},\;and\;0.59{\pm}0.15\;ppm\;in\;N_{2}O$, respectively. Generally, under the presence of gas emission from agricultural soils, decrease of gas emission will be observed as increase in ambient gas concentration. We, however, could not found significant correlation between the ambient concentrations and their emissions over the experimental period. There was no GHG compensation points existed in tide flat soil.

21세기에 들어서면서 기후변화로 인한 환경변화가 심각해짐에 따라 온실가스 배출에 대한 관심도 높아지고 있다. 우리나라의 기온은 1904년 이후 2000년까지 약 $1.5^{\circ}C$ 상승하였으며, 기후가 아열대 특성을 나타내는 것으로 조사되었다. 이에 따라 홍수 및 가뭄 등의 발생횟수가 증가하여 인간이 활용할 수 있는 용수가 매년 감소하고 있으며, 상수도 사용에 대한 비용은 매년 상승하고 있어 평소 버려지는 폐수의 재이용은 불가피한 상황에 직면해 있다. 본 연구는 반도체 공정에 투입되는 초순수 제조과정에서 발생되는 농축폐수를 재이용시스템을 설치하여 6개월간 운전한 월별 자료를 활용하여 온실가스 발생량 및 절감방안 등에 대하여 조사하였다. 조사결과 상수도 공급량은 월 평균 약 $2,767m^3$의 절감 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 온실가스 발생량은 물재이용시스템의 전기사용량으로 인해 월 평균 약 $1,329.07kg-CO_2$ 추가발생 하였지만, 상수도 사용량 절감에 따른 월 평균 $918.64kg-CO_2$ 감축량을 반영하면, 월 평균 $410.43kg-CO_2$의 온실가스가 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 물재이용시스템의 일부 공정을 개선한다면 온실가스 발생량은 증가가 아닌 월 평균 $254.41kg-CO_2$로 절감됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this paper is to a develop model for generation expansion planning that can support diverse environmental policies for the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs) of South Korea. South Korea is required to reduce its GHG emissions by 30% from the BAU level by 2020. The Wien Automatic System Planning Package currently used in South Korea has limitations in terms of the application of renewable energy policies and GHG targets; this paper proposes the use of an equipment planning model named generation and transmission expansion program, which has been developed to resolve such limitations. For verification of the model, a case study on the 6th Basic Plan of Long-Term Electricity Supply and Demand has been conducted. The results show that for the year 2020 South Korea's annual GHG emissions will be 36.6% more than the GHG Target Management System (GHG TMS) target set for the same year (30%). To achieve the GHG TMS target, the costs involved amount to about 72 trillion KRW (70 billion USD). Consequently, the South Korean government needs to review the performability of this target.

In this study, spatial and temporal variations of radiative forcing (RF) and mean temperature changes due to greenhouse gases ($CO_2$, $CH_4$, and $N_2O$) emitted from commercial aircraft were examined based on the simplified expression at the airports in Korea during 2009~2010. The radiative transfer model (SBDART) was used to compare with the RF and mean temperature changes calculated from the simplified expressions for greenhouse gas $CO_2$. The RF simulated by the SBDART was about 67% higher than that of the simplified expression, on average. The highest mean RF (up to $9.0mW/m^2$ for $CO_2$) and mean temperature changes (up to $9.7{\times}10^{-5}^{\circ}K/day$ for $CO_2$) for all GHGs occurred at Ulsan airport during the study period, whereas the lowest RF and temperature changes at Yangyang (for $CO_2$) and Sacheon airports (for $CH_4$ and $N_2O$). In the case of $CH_4$ and $N_2O$, their effects to the RF and mean temperature change were negligible compared to $CO_2$.

Over the past two decades, the options for solid waste management have been changing from land disposal to recycling, waste-to-energy, and incineration due to growing attention for resource and energy recovery. In addition, the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission has become an issue of concern in the waste sector because such gases often released into the atmosphere during the waste management processes (e.g., biodegradation in landfills and combustion by incineration) can contribute to climate change. In this study, the emission and reduction rates of GHGs by the municipal solid waste (MSW) management options in D city have been studied for the years 1996-2016. The emissions and reduction rates were calculated according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change guidelines and the EU Prognos method, respectively. A dramatic decrease in the waste landfilled was observed between 1996 and 2004, after which its amount has been relatively constant. Waste recycling and incineration have been increased over the decades, leading to a peak in the GHG emissions from landfills of approximately $63,323tCO_2\;eq/yr$ in 2005, while the lowest value of $35,962tCO_2\;eq/yr$ was observed in 2016. In 2016, the estimated emission rate of GHGs from incineration was $59,199tCO_2\;eq/yr$. The reduction rate by material recycling was the highest ($-164,487tCO_2\;eq/yr$) in 2016, followed by the rates by heat recovery with incineration ($-59,242tCO_2\;eq/yr$) and landfill gas recovery ($-23,922tCO_2\;eq/yr$). Moreover, the cumulative GHG reduction rate between 1996 and 2016 was $-3.46MtCO_2\;eq$, implying a very positive impact on future $CO_2$ reduction achieved by waste recycling as well as heat recovery of incineration and landfill gas recovery. This study clearly demonstrates that improved MSW management systems are positive for GHGs reduction and energy savings. These results could help the waste management decision-makers supporting the MSW recycling and energy recovery policies as well as the climate change mitigation efforts at local government level.

This experiment was carried out to find out the mitigation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission and changes of soil carbon contents in the cropland. In order to minimize the soil disturbance, this study was conducted without crop cultivation at the pots treated with different biomass. Different biomass was buried in the soil for 12 months. Decomposition rates of expander rice hull, pig manure compost and carbonized rice hull were 18%, 11~11.5% and 0.5~1.2%, respectively. It was appeared that carbonized rice hull was slightly decomposed. No difference was shown between chemical fertilizer treatment plot and non-application plot. It was appeared that soil carbon content in the non chemical fertilizer application plot was high when compared to its chemical fertilizer. Its content at soil depth of 20 cm more decreased than the upper layer of soil. Accumulative emission of $CO_2$ with different treatments of biomass was highest of 829.0~876.6 g $CO_2m^{-2}$ in the application plot of PMC (Pig Manure Compost) regardless of chemical fertilizer treatment during 16 months of experiment. However, the emission for expander rice hull treatment plot was lowest of 672.3~808.1 g $CO_2m^{-2}$. For application plot of the carbonized rice hull, it was shown that non chemical fertilizer plot, 304.1 mg $N_2Om^{-2}$, was higher than the chemical fertilizer treatment, 271.6 mg $N_2Om^{-2}$. Greenhouse gas emissions in the PMC treatment were highest of 0.94 ton $CO_2eqha^{-1}yr^{-1}$. However, it was estimated to be the lowest in the expander rice hull treatment.

To estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, the inventory of rice cultivation at the farming without agricultural chemicals was established from farmers in Gunsan, Jeonbuk province in 2011~2012. The objectives of this study were to calculate carbon footprint and analyse the major factor of GHGs. To do this, we carried out a sensitivity analysis using the analyzed main factors of GHGs and estimated the mitigation potential of GHGs. Also we suggested agricultural methods to reduce GHGs that can be appled by farmers at this region. At the farming system without agricultural chemicals, carbon footprint of rice production unit of 1 kg was 2.15 kg $CO_2.-eq.kg^{-1}$. Although the amount of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) emission was the largest among GHGs, methane ($CH_4$) emission had the highest contribution to carbon footprint on rice production system when it was converted to carbon dioxide equivalent ($CO_2-eq.$) multiplied by the global warming potential (GWP). Main source of $CO_2$ emission in the rice farming system without agricultural chemicals was combustion of fossil fuels used by agricultural machinery. Most of the $CH_4$ was emitted during rice cultivation practice and its major emission factor was flooded paddy field in anaerobic condition. Also, most of the $N_2O$ was emitted from rice cultivation process. Major sources of the $N_2O$ emission was application of fertilizer such as compound fertilizer. As a result of sensitivity analysis in energy consumption, diesel had the highest sensitivity among the energy inputs. With the reduction of diesel consumption by 10%, it was estimated that $CO_2$ potential reduction was about 2.0%. With reducing application rate of compound fertilizer by 10%, the potential reduction was calculated that $CO_2$ and $N_2O$ could be reduced by 0.5% and 0.9%, respectively. At the condition of 10% reduction of silicate and compost, $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ could be reduced by 1.5% and 1.6%, respectively. With 8 days more drainage than the ordinary practice, $CH_4$ emission could be reduced by about 4.5%. Drainage and diesel consumption were the main sources having the largest effect on the GHG reduction at the farming system without agricultural chemicals. Based on the above results, we suggest that no-tillage and midsummer drainage could be a method to decrease GHG emissions from rice production system.
