Abstract

The issue of 'carbon reduction' can be said to be one of the most important issues worldwide. For efficient carbon reduction, it is necessary to consider ways to increase absorption and reduce emissions. Accordingly, much attention has been paid to increasing carbon absorption using blue carbon biomass. Blue carbon biomass refers to an ecosystem related to blue carbon, which has a higher carbon absorption rate than inland ecosystems and a longer collection period. It is very efficient in reducing carbon. Therefore, in this study, a current status survey was conducted on domestic and foreign policies, studies, and plans related to the preservation of blue carbon biomass habitats. Basic research was conducted to prepare plans for future preservation of blue carbon biomass habitats suitable for the domestic environment.

'탄소저감' 문제는 전세계적으로 가장 중요한 이슈 중 하나라고 할 수 있다. 효율적인 탄소저감을 위해서는 배출량 감소는 물론, 흡수량을 늘리는 방법도 고려할 필요가 있다. 이에 최근 블루카본 바이오매스를 활용해 탄소흡수량을 늘리는데 많은 관심이 쏠리고 있다. 블루카본은 염생식물, 잘피 등 연안에 서식하는 식물과 갯벌 등의 퇴적물을 포함한 해양 생태계가 흡수하는 탄소를 말한다. 또한 블루카본 바이오매스는 블루카본과 관련된 생태계를 의미하며 이는 내륙 생태계보다 탄소흡수율이 높고, 포집 기간도 길어 탄소저감에 매우 효율적이라는 평가를 받고 있다. 하지만 국내에서는 아직까지 이에 대한 연구활동이 활발하지 않은 실정이며, 무엇보다도 블루카본 바이오매스 서식지 보존을 위한 공간계획과의 연계성이 부족하고, 관련 정책도 구체적으로 마련되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 탄소저감 문제 해결에 적극적인 대응을 위하여 블루카본 바이오매스의 중요성을 인식하고, 서식지를 보존하여, 향후 이를 중심으로 한 국내 환경에 적합한 형태의 탄소저감형 해안도시를 조성할 필요가 있음을 제시하고자 한다.
