Abstract

The concept of 'carbon footprint' has been developed as a means of quantifying the specific emissions of the greenhouse gases (GHGs) that cause global warming. Although there are still neither clear definitions of the term nor rules for units or the scope of its estimation, it is broadly accepted that the carbon footprint is the total amount of GHGs, expressed as $CO_2$ equivalents, emitted into the atmosphere directly or indirectly at all processes of the production by an individual or organization. According to the ISO/TS 14067, the carbon footprint of a product is calculated by multiplying the units of activity of processes that emit GHGs by emission factor of the processes, and by summing them up. Based on this, 'carbon labelling' system has been implemented in various ways over the world to provide consumers the opportunities of comparison and choice, and to encourage voluntary activities of producers to reduce GHG emissions. In the agricultural sector, as a judgment basis to help purchaser with ethical consumption, 'low-carbon agricultural and livestock products certification' system is expected to have more utilization value. In this process, the 'cradle to gate' approach (which excludes stages for usage and disposal) is mainly used to set the boundaries of the life cycle assessment for agricultural products. The estimation of carbon footprint for the entire agricultural and forestry sector should take both removals and emissions into account in the "National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report". The carbon accumulation in the biomass of perennial trees in cropland should be considered also to reduce the total GHG emissions. In order to accomplish this, tower-based flux measurements can be used, which provide a direct quantification of $CO_2$ exchange during the entire life cycle. Carbon footprint information can be combined with other indicators to develop more holistic assessment indicators for sustainable agricultural and forestry ecosystems.

지구 온난화를 유발하는 온실가스들의 구체적인 배출량을 정량화하는 수단으로서 2000년대 중반부터 '탄소발자국'의 개념이 발전하였다. 아직도 명확한 정의나 측정 단위 또는 범위에 대한 규정이 존재하지 않지만, '개인이나 조직에 의해 제품의 전 생산 과정에서 직간접적으로 대기로 배출된 전체 온실가스의 양을 이산화탄소 상당량으로 나타낸 것'이라는 의미로 널리 사용되고 있다. ISO/TS 14067에 따르면, 제품의 탄소발자국은 온실가스를 배출하는 단위 공정들의 활동량 자료에 해당 공정의 배출계수를 곱하고 이를 모두 합산하여 산정한다. 이를 바탕으로 소비자들에게 비교 선택의 기회를 제공하고 생산자들의 자발적인 온실가스 배출 감축 활동을 장려하기 위한 '탄소성적표지' 제도가 전 세계적으로 다양하게 시행되고 있다. 이 제도의 일환으로 농업 분야에서 시범 운영되고 있는 '저탄소농축산물인증제'는 구매자의 윤리적 소비를 돕는 판단 근거로서 활용 가치가 클 것으로 기대된다. 이 과정에서 농산물에 대한 전과정평가의 경계를 설정하는 데에는 주로 사용 및 폐기 단계가 제외된 'cradle to gate' 접근법이 사용된다. 범위를 넓혀 농림 부문 전체에 대한 탄소발자국 산정은 "국가 온실가스 인벤토리 보고서"에서 유일하게 배출량뿐만 아니라 제거량도 고려해야 하는 특징을 가지고 있다. 현재 산정이 이루어지지 않는 농경지의 다년생 입목 바이오매스에 축적된 탄소의 변화량을 계산할 수 있다면 전체 온실가스 배출량을 상당 부분 감축할 수 있을 것이다. 이를 위해 전 과정의 이산화탄소 교환을 직접 정량화할 수 있는 타워 기반의 플럭스 관측이 사용될 수 있다. 탄소발자국 정보는 다른 지표들과 융합하여 지속가능한 농림생태계를 위한 좀 더 총체적인 지표 개발에 사용될 수 있다.
