Abstract

This study was carried out to estimate carbon emission using LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) and to establish LCI (Life Cycle Inventory) database of soybean production system. Based on collecting the data for operating LCI, it was shown that input of organic fertilizer was value of 3.10E+00 kg $kg^{-1}$ soybean and it of mineral fertilizer was 4.57E-01 kg $kg^{-1}$ soybean for soybean cultivation. It was the highest value among input for soybean production. And direct field emission was 1.48E-01 kg $kg^{-1}$ soybean during soybean cropping. The result of LCI analysis focussed on greenhouse gas (GHG) was showed that carbon footprint was 3.36E+00 kg $CO_2$-eq $kg^{-1}$ soybean. Especially $CO_2$ for 71% of the GHG emission. Also of the GHG emission $CH_4$, and $N_2O$ were estimated to be 18% and 11%, respectively. It might be due to emit from mainly fertilizer production (92%) and soybean cultivation (7%) for soybean production system. $N_2O$ was emitted from soybean cropping for 67% of the GHG emission. In $CO_2$-eq. value, $CO_2$ and $N_2O$ were 2.36E+00 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ soybean and 3.50E-01 kg $CO_2$-eq. $kg^{-1}$ soybean, respectively. With LCIA (Life Cycle Impact Assessment) for soybean production system, it was observed that the process of fertilizer production might be contributed to approximately 90% of GWP (global warming potential). Characterization value of GWP was 3.36E+00 kg $CO_2$-eq $kg^{-1}$.

투입되는 퇴구비, 무기질 비료, 농자재 (육묘용 플러그판), 에너지 (전기, 화석연료)양은 각각 3.10E+00 kg $kg^{-1}$ soybean, 4.57E-01 kg $kg^{-1}$ soybean, 6.29E-02 kg $kg^{-1}$ soybean, 8.48E-02 kg $kg^{-1}$ soybean이었고, 콩 생산단계에서 발생하는 직접 대기배출물 ($CO_2$, $CH_4$, $N_2O$)의 배출량은 1.48E-01 kg $kg^{-1}$ soybean였다. LCI 분석 결과 콩 생산체계의 탄소원단위 성적은 3.36E+00 kg $CO_2$-eq $kg^{-1}$ soybean였고, 온실가스 발생량 비중을 비교하면 $CO_2$가 71%, $CH_4$ 18%, $N_2O$ 11% 이었다. $CO_2$는 비료생산 (약 92%)과 콩생산 (약 7%)에서 주로 발생하였고, $N_2O$의 주요 발생원은 콩 생산 (약 67%)과 비료생산 (약 32%)순이었는데, $CO_2$, $N_2O$의 $CO_2$-eq. 환산 성적은 각각 2.36E+00 kg $CO_2$-eq $kg^{-1}$ soybean과 3.50E-01 kg $CO_2$-eq $kg^{-1}$ soybean였다. 전과정 영향평가 수행결과 GWP의 특성화값은 3.36E+00 kg $CO_2$-eq $kg^{-1}$였고, 콩 생산과 비료 생산이 주요한 원인이었다.
