Continuous global warming is causing ecosystem destruction and direct damage to human life. The main cause of global warming is greenhouse gases, which account for more than 90 % of carbon dioxide. The leaders of each country signed the Paris Agreement at the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, the total amount of CO₂ emitted from South Korea is 664.7 million tons as of 2018, ranking eighth in the world. 37 % of South Korea's total CO₂ emissions come from the construction & building field, especially the cement production, which is a construction material. Carbon reduction technologies can be largely divided into four types: carbon reduction (CC), carbon reduction and storage technology (CCS), carbon reduction and utilization technology (CCU), and carbon reduction, storage and utilization technology (CCUS). Overseas, CCUS technology is mainly applied to reduce and store CO₂ emitted from construction and construction field. A technology for permanently storing CO₂ through mineralization by capturing CO₂ and utilizing CO₂ into a cement production process was developed, and this technology is applied to the entire cement industry. However, the development of CCUS technology applicable to the cement industry is still insignificant in South Korea. In this study, carbon dioxide reduction technology and methods for reducing carbon dioxide emitted during the cement manufacturing process, which is the main component of concrete mainly used in civil engineering construction, were investigated. Overseas, it has reached the commercialization stage beyond the demonstration stage as a way to reduce carbon dioxide by vomiting carbonation reactions. Accordingly, if carbon dioxide reduction plan technology generated during cement manufacturing is developed based on domestic technology differentiated from foreign technology, it is expected to contribute one more step to the carbon neutrality policy.

Recently, world-wide focusing on the interest for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions associated with climate change and global warming, South Korea also has set up a national greenhouse gas reduction target and action plans seeking to achieve them. In particular, in the construction area, to encourage green building certification of the building and carbon labeling acquisition of building products, in order to reduce the environmental impact caused by the industrial activities have been in steady efforts. Therefore, this study estimates the life cycle carbon footprint of building construction materials applied to carbon emissions reduction technology and analyzes the results. Through the CO₂ emissions analysis in construction phase and maintenance phase of the building, it provides basic resource for future research expansion and establishes a step-by-step whole life cycle carbon emissions reduction plan in new construction and existing buildings.

Due to the environmental problems caused by the greenhouse effect, regulation of $CO_2$ emissions is getting stronger day by day. In paricular, regulations of automobiles $CO_2$ emissions are being strengthen. However, existing $CO_2$ measurement methods do not reflect the environment and operating conditions on actual roads. Emissions of $CO_2$ can be increased by various conditions such as environmental condition(temperature and humidity) and driver's tendency(aggressive and passive). Therefore it is necessary to reflect the conditions of various actual roads such as 5-cycle test method on behalf of the existing $CO_2$ emission measurement method. The 5-cycle measurement method has five test modes; FTP-75, HWFET, US06, SC03, Cold FTP-75. The method reflects the following three environments and operating conditions as compared to conventional method; Using heater at low temperature, Aggressive driving such as rapid acceleration or deceleration, Using air conditioner at high temperature. Because of these various conditions of each test cycle, the 5-cycle method can reflect actual environments and operating conditions. This paper attempt to analyze $CO_2$ emission characteristics based on the results measured through the 5-cycle mode and develop the correction formula that can derive the results of the 5-cycle test method using existing test methods. As a result, the developed correction formula is expected to reduce $CO_2$ emissions and cut down expense for testing 5-cycle mode.

최근 지구온난화의 주원인인 이산화탄소(carbon dioxide, CO₂)의 배출량을 줄이기 위하여 한국은 탄소 배출량 감축목표와 탄소 중립을 선언하였으며, 이에 따른 지역별 배출량과 대기 중 CO₂ 농도의 정확한 평가가 중요해지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 위성자료와 CO₂ 배출량 자료를 활용하여 위성기반 대기 중 CO₂ 농도와 배출량의 시공간적 차이를 확인하고, 이러한 차이를 식생 성장에 따른 광합성 반응지수인 태양유도 엽록소 형광(solar-induced fluorescence, SIF)을 이용하여 설명하고자 하였다. 2014년부터 2018년까지 한국 지역에서 환경부 온실가스종합정보센터(Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Research Center, GIR) 및 Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) 배출량은 지속적으로 증가하였지만, 위성에서 관측된 CO₂ 농도는 2018년에 전년 대비 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 지역적으로 살펴보면 경기도, 충청북도는 2018년에 GIR, EDGAR 배출량이 증가하였지만 CO₂ 농도는 감소하였다. 또한, 배출량과 위성관측 CO₂ 농도의 상관성분석에서 서울과 강원도 지역에서 각각 0.22 (GIR), 0.16 (EDGAR)으로 낮은 상관성을 보였다. 대기 중 CO₂ 농도는 SIF와 지역별로 상이한 상관관계를 보였는데, 5~9월의 CO₂-SIF 상관성분석에서 서울과 경기지역은 -0.26의 음의 상관계수를, 충청북도와 강원도는 0.46의 양의 상관계수를 보이며 CO₂ 흡수와 대기 중 농도의 관계성이 지역별로 차이가 있음을 밝혔다. 따라서 대기 중 CO₂ 농도와 배출량 사이의 관계성을 분석함에 있어 CO₂ 흡수 과정에 대한 고려가 필요하다는 것을 시사한다.

Amid growing concerns about energy security, energy prices, economic competitiveness, and climate change, district heating (DH) system has been recognized for its significant benefits and the part it can play in efficiently meeting society's growing energy demands while reducing environmental impacts. Policy makers often need to quantify the fuel and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) emissions savings of DH system compared to conventional individual heating (IH) system in order to estimate its actual emissions reductions. The objective of this paper is to calculate energy efficiency and $CO_2$ emissions saving, and to propose the future direction for DH system in Korea. DH system achieved total system efficiencies of 67.9% compared to 54.1% for IH system in 2015. DH system reduced $CO_2$ emissions by $381,311ton-CO_2$ (4.1%) compared to IH system. The results suggest that DH system is more preferred than IH system using natural gas. In Korea, the aim is to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and to use energy more efficiently. DH system have significant potential with regard to achieving this aim, because DH system are already integrated with power generation in the electricity since combined heating and power (CHP) are used for heat supply. Although the future conditions for DH may look promising, the current DH system in Korea must be enhanced in order to handle future competition. Thus, the next DH system must be integrated with multiple renewable energy and waste heat energy sources.

Recently, environmental problems have emerged as a major issue all over the world due to an increase in carbon dioxide(CO₂). The amount of CO₂ generated during cement production accounts for 6% to 8% of domestic CO₂ emissions and a solution to reduce CO₂ emissions the construction industry is trying to use mineral admixtures to reduce cement. Since digestion has no firing process the advantage of it is that there is no air pollution to occur. In this study, we studied the compressive strength of binary non-cement mortar containing rice husk powder extracted from digestion by the ratio of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%. As a result, the table flow was increased when the mixing rate of rice husk powder extracted from digestion was higher, and the highest compressive strength was shown when the rice husk powder extracted from digestion mixing rate was 10%.

우리나라는 2019년 221,102 ton/day의 건설폐기물이 발생하였으며, 그 중, 본 연구의 대상인 혼합 건설폐기물 발생량은 24,582 ton/day로 조사되었다. 나머지 건설폐기물은 98.9%의 상당히 높은 수준으로 재활용되고 있다. 폐기물 부문의 온실가스 배출량은 17.1 백만 ton CO2-eq.로 총발생량의 2.3% 정도를 차지한다. 온실가스 배출을 감축하기 위해 환경영향 저감 방법 등에 관한 관심이 점차 증대되고 있으나, 혼합 건설폐기물의 발생량은 현재까지 지속적으로 증가하고 있어 이에 대한 적절한 처리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 분리·선별이 어려워 매립 및 소각에 의해 처리하는 경우가 대부분이며, 단순처리보다 재활용을 위한 효율적인 방안 마련이 시급한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 혼합 건설폐기물의 처리경로별 온실가스 배출량 산출을 통해 환경영향을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 온실가스 발생량이 가장 높은 것은 소각단계로 나타났으며, 최적의 온실가스 저감 방안은 단순 소각처리가 아닌 재활용, 에너지회수를 통한 재활용 처리가 최적의 방안이라고 판단된다. 또한, 에너지화 단계의 온실가스 발생량은 두 번째로 높게 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 폐기물을 에너지로 활용하여 화석연료 사용 절감을 통해 온실가스 배출량을 감축시킬 수 있다고 판단된다. 수송단계에서는 최적의 거리 설정과 바이오연료 및 전기자동차 운행 등을 적용하여 온실가스 발생량을 최소화하는 것이 최적의 방안이라고 판단된다.
