Abstract

This study identified and quantified the hidden flows for steel and iron production in Korea using MIPS (Material Input per Service) methodology. In order to estimate the input orientated impact on the environment caused by the manufacture or services of a product, MIPS indicates the quantity of resources used for this product or service. In 2005, 71 million tons of raw materials were used to produce $17.6 million of added value and 4.8 thousand tons of finished steel. The amount of natural resources extracted from natural environments for the purpose of steel production was 245 million tons of TMR(Total Material Requirement), 1524 million tons of water, and 34 million tons of air. The material intensities for steel production by natural inputs (raw materials and energy) was 4.3 ton/ton of TMR, 28 ton/ton of water, and 0.5 ton/ton of air.

본 연구는 국내 5대 수출 품목 중 하나이며, 국내 주요 수출품의 원자재로서 지속가능한 자원관리의 파급효과가 큰 철강을 대상으로 히든플로우와 물질집중도를 MIPS방법론을 이용하여 정량화하였다. 2005년에 4.8천톤의 철강재와 17.6백만달러(2000년 기준)의 부가가치를 생산하기 위해 71백만톤의 윈재료와 18백만Toe의 에너지를 사용하였다. 이러한 원재료와 에너지사용으로 인한 천연자원사용량은 TMR(total Material Requirement, 총물질요구량) 245백만톤, water 1524백만톤, air 34백만톤이었다. 그리고 material intensity, 즉 철강재 1톤을 생산하기 위해서 TMR 4.3톤, water 28톤, air 0.5톤의 자연자원이 사용되었다.
