The reduction of carbon dioxide emissions becomes a global issue, the main source of carbon dioxide emissions in the Asian region is the energy conversion sector, especially coal-fired power plants. We are working to develop technologies that will at least limit the increase in carbon dioxide emissions from the thermal power plants as one way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Our research aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by removing iron oxide scale from the feedwater system of thermal power plants using a superconducting high-gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) system, thereby reducing the loss of power generation efficiency. In this paper, the background of thermal power plants in Asia is outlined, followed by a case study of the introduction of a chemical cleaning line at an actual thermal power plant in Japan, and the possibility of introducing it into the thermal power plants in China based on the results.

This study analyzed the effectiveness of China's policy to reduce of sulfur dioxide. China's $12^{th}$ Five-year plan on national economic and social development emphasized environmental protection and low-carbon economic development. Sulfur dioxide was one of the major gases to affect air pollution and climate change and its control became a key policy agenda in the environment and energy sector. As the absolute amount of sulfur dioxide emissions in China came from the industrial sector, the control of the coal-based energy was especially urgent. This study analyzed the factors that influenced the sulfur dioxide emissions and the policy effects to reduce sulfur dioxide in China from 2003 to 2012 based on regional data. The air pollution treatment investments showed the biggest impact together with energy conservation policy in reducing sulfur dioxide emissions. However, pollutant emissions charge did not show a relevant policy effectiveness in all regions as the amount of charge would be smaller than economic benefit from non-compliance. Rationalizing pollutant emissions charge is, therefore, a key policy task for further reduction of sulfur dioxide emissions.

본 연구는 2000년부터 2019년까지 우리나라 16개 광역시·도의 패널자료를 활용하여 확장된 STIRPAT 모형을 통해 이산화탄소 배출량 결정요인을 분석하였다. 패널 데이터의 횡단면 의존성과 계수 이질성을 검정한 후, 이들 특성을 반영한 MG, CCEMG, AMG 추정법을 통해 분석하였다. AMG 추정법을 통해 분석한 결과를 살펴보면, 소득, 인구, 에너지 집약도의 계수가 양(+)의 부호로 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났으나, 도시화는 통계적으로 유의하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 우리나라 이산화탄소 배출량의 감소는 에너지 효율의 증가와 지속가능한 경제성장을 통해 이루어질 수 있다. 따라서 이산화탄소 감축기술의 적극적인 개발로 저탄소 사회를 구축하고, 이와 함께 기술혁신을 통해 장기적으로 생산성 향상을 유발하여 지속가능한 경제성장에 기여할 수 있는 정책수립이 필요하다.

The use of fly ash in construction materials is increasing worldwide due the various advantages of using it, such as to produce durable concrete, or to use less cement and thus lower carbon dioxide emissions. The quality of fly ash is often determined by loss on ignition value (LOI), where an upper limit of LOI is set in each country for quality control purpose. However, due to many reasons, production of high LOI fly ash is increasing that cannot be utilized in concrete, ending up in landfill. In this study, the effect of fly ash use in cementitious materials on nitrogen oxides adsorption is examined. In particular, the effect of using high LOI, and thus high carbon content fly ash on nitrogen oxides adsorption is investigated. The results suggest that the higher carbon content fly ash is related to higher nitrogen dioxide adsorption, although normal fly ash was also more effective in nitrogen dioxide adsorption than ordinary portland cement. Also, higher replacement rate of up to 40% of fly ash is beneficial for nitrogen dioxide adsorption. These results demonstrate that high carbon fly ash can be used as construction materials in an environmentally friendly way where strength requirement is low and where nitrogen oxides emissions are high.

500 MW급 석탄화력발전소를 대상으로 연료분석법 및 연속측정법을 사용하여 이산화탄소 배출량을 산정하고 특성을 알아보았다. 연료분석법은 산정방법 중 배출량이 가장 낮게 산정되는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 순발열량이 낮게 분석되기 때문으로 저열량탄을 사용하는 경우 연료분석법을 활용하는 것이 유리하다. 또한 입하탄 보다 소비탄을 시료로 사용하였을 때 배출량이 낮게 산정되는 특성을 보인다. 하지만 차이는 2% 미만으로 미미하여, 분석 인력 및 장비가 한정된 현 여건에서는 입하탄을 연료분석에 사용하여도 적정하다고 판단된다. 연속측정법은 연료분석법 대비 배출량이 다소 높게 산정되지만 국내외 제시된 배출계수를 사용한 산정량보다 낮게 산정된다. 따라서 석탄 탄종 변화로 연료분석법에 의한 산정량이 증가할 경우, 유량 측정방법을 보완하여 사용한다면 배출량 산정 시 유리할 것이다.

Studies on the regulation and measurement of greenhouse gases(GHGs) emissions have been carrying out for global wanning. In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, many countries have been promoting the Emissions Trading System and projects of the Joint Implementation(JI) and Clean Development Mechanism(CDM). These country's GHG emissions have been measured calculation criteria based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) Guidelines. In order to respond to GHGs regulation, in each country, it is planing to build a Low-Carbon City. The system has been developed for calculating GHGs emissions from companies and institutions in their respective countries. However, the system can monitor the GHGs per city, has not been developed. In this paper, it is studied to design the User Interface and to develop integrated monitoring program for Low-carbon city. This program will make possible monitoring and management, statistics, and reports written by using each data in units of cities.

Eco-friendly concrete contains only 5% of cement yet achieves equal or greater strength compared to conventional concrete, reducing salt-attack impact and hydration heat by more than 30% and ensuring higher construction quality for underground structures. Furthermore, eco-friendly concrete can reduce up to 90% of carbon dioxide emissions compared to traditional concrete, enabling a reduction of approximately 6,000 tons of carbon emissions for 1,000 of apartment units construction. This is equivalent to planting around 42,000 trees

Low carbon construction is an important operation management goal such as cost, time, and quality in construction community. This paper introduces a system which measures the variability of carbon dioxide amounts. First, this system allows creating construction operation models of which the level of detail is breakdown into the work task level. Second, the system implements sensitivity analysis along with a ranges of resources that are allocated in an operation model. It facilitates to find the optimal resource combination using the operation performances such as the amount of emissions, operation completion time, and cost. Lastly, it identifies the best fit probability distribution functions of performance criteria given a certain resource combination. It allows project manager to query the percentages to complete the operation within a limitation specified by the system users.

To realize the traceability of sustainable textile products, this study presents a low-carbon process through energy savings in the textile material manufacturing process. Traceability is becoming an important element of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which confirms the eco-friendliness of textile products as well as supply chain information. Textile products with complex manufacturing processes require traceability of each step of the process to calculate carbon emissions and power usage. Additionally, an understanding of the characteristics of the product planning-manufacturing-distribution process and an overall understanding of carbon emissions sources are required. Energy use in the textile material manufacturing stage produces the largest amount of carbon dioxide, and the amount of carbon emitted from processes such as dyeing, weaving and knitting can be calculated. Energy saving methods include efficiency improvement and energy recycling, and carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced through waste heat recovery, sensor-based smart systems, and replacement of old facilities. In the dyeing process, which uses a considerable amount of heat energy, LNG, steam can be saved by using "heat exchangers," "condensate management traps," and "tenter exhaust fan controllers." In weaving and knitting processes, which use a considerable amount of electrical energy, about 10- 20% of energy can be saved by using old compressors and motors.

국제해사기구(IMO)는 온난화의 원인인 온실가스 감축을 위한 강제 규제를 도입하여 시행을 하고 있다. 하지만 여전히 지구의 온난화는 진행 중에 있고, IMO는 빠른 시일 내에 SEEMP와 EEOI에 기반한 자발적인 이산화탄소 감축 방법을 강제화 하려는 움직임이 있다. 연료 및 이산화탄소 절감을 위해 대형 컨테이너 선박은 낮은 속도에서 운항을 결정하였다. 하지만 높은 선속으로 설계되어진 선수 구조는 오히려 선속 저하 때는 저항으로 작용하여 연료 절감 효과를 저해하는 현상을 발견하였다. 대형 컨테이너 선박의 저속화를 위해 선수 구상부를 개조하여 더욱더 높은 연료 절감을 시행하였다. 고속 대형선의 저속 운항에 적합한 선수 개조가 얼마나 효율적으로 운항선 에너지효율지수를 변하게 하는지를 개조 전후의 연료 소비량을 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과 예상했던 것보다 많은 이산화탄소 감축량을 확인하였다. 운항선 이산화탄소 감축 강제 규제가 시행된다면 고속선들의 연료 절감 방법의 하나로 효과적인 적용 방법으로 고려되어진다. 또한 연료절감형 운항 선박에 투자하여 에너지 효율적인 선박으로 운항하기 위한 것이다.
