Abstract

To achieve the national goal of "2050 Carbon Neutrality" in the era of the climate crisis, it is important to support the decarbonization of ports, which are the vital node of the global supply chain. Following the establishment of the concept of port's decarbonzation, this study reviewed the obstacles and solutions to port decarbonization through literature research. Furthermore, the goals and strategies for decarbonization implementation of world major ports were examined through case analysis, and the level of decarbonization implementation of the five Korean major ports was quantitatively evaluated using a performance-based score measurement method. As a result of the analysis, the level of decarbonization of Korean ports is generally far behind that of advanced countries. In particular, measures for environment-friendly inland transportation, future alternative fuel bunkering facilities, and various market-based incentive policies are needed. As a policy task for the decarbonization of Korean ports, first, the necessity of establishing a emission inventory, monitoring, and reporting system and the disclosure of related information, second, the mixing strategy of various greenhouse gas reduction measures, and third, the increase in the proportion of renewable energy at ports were suggested.

기후위기 시대를 맞아 '2050 탄소중립' 목표를 달성하기 위해서는 해운산업뿐만 아니라 글로벌 공급망의 주요 거점인 항만의 탈탄소화가 뒷받침되어야 가능하다. 이에 본 연구는 항만의 탈탄소화 개념 정립에 이어, 항만 배출가스 오염원별로 항만 탈탄소 전환의 장애요인과 해결방안을 문헌 연구를 통해 검토해 보았다. 이어 세계 주요 항만들의 탈탄소화 이행 목표와 전략에 대해 사례분석을 통해 살펴보았으며, 성과기반 스코어 측정방법을 이용하여 국내 5대 항만들의 탈탄소화 이행 수준을 정량적으로 평가해 보았다. 분석 결과, 국내 항만들의 탈탄소화 수준은 전반적으로 선진국 항만들에 비해 상당히 뒤처져 있는 상황이다. 특히 환경친화적 내륙운송을 위한 조치, 미래 대안연료 벙커링 시설, 그리고 다양한 시장기반 인센티브 정책이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 국내 항만의 탈탄소 전환을 위한 정책과제로서는 첫째, 항만에서 배출되는 온실가스의 배출량 목록, 모니터링, 보고체계 수립과 관련 정보 공개의 필요, 둘째, 다양한 온실가스 저감조치의 믹스전략, 셋째, 항만의 신재생에너지 비중 제고 등을 제시하였다.
