As a part of efforts to reduce the global emissions of greenhouse gases, the Kyoto Protocol was signed by major developed countries ("Annex I" countries). According to the Kyoto protocol, the Emission Trading Scheme that derives a trading market of the $CO_2$ emission rights is appeared. It causes that business institutions give lots of efforts to reduce $CO_2$ by using new environmentally sound technologies or increasing efficiency in production. On the while there have been several studies trying to develop a methodology to measure the effect of $CO_2$ reduction and its monetary value. In this research we suggest ECRE (Evaluation of $CO_2$ Reduction in E-transformation) model which can measure the $CO_2$ reduction effect through the introduction of G2B system. ECRC model was developed based on the IPCC methodology. ECRC model measures the two major effects of the $CO_2$ reduction which are '$CO_2$ reduction effect from transportation' and '$CO_2$ reduction effect from the decrease of paper use'. In this paper, we calculate the economic effect of $CO_2$ reduction with the case of the G2B system in Korea. This research suggests a basic methodology to measure the $CO_2$ reduction performance for the e-transformed institution.

Since $CO_2$ emissions are recognized as the biggest contribution to climate change, the needs and international efforts for $CO_2$ emissions reduction are increasing. The developed countries are driving strategies to boost green industry as a new growth engine. Following this global trend, based on the ongoing U-City project as a new city model, it is required to analyze the changes of $CO_2$ emissions in U-City to identify its potential for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. This study aims at identifying the potential and effects on $CO_2$ reduction by analyzing the level of $CO_2$ emissions before and after introducing U-City. Bundang-Gu, Seongnam-City & Ilsan-Gu, Goyang-City among Phase I new tow ns were selected as model cities before introducing U-City and Dongtan-Dong, Hwaseong-City as a model city after introducing U-City. The result showed 30% reduction of $CO_2$ emissions in the comparison of tw o models.

This paper draws some implications from Logarithmic Mean Weight Divisia Method (LMWDM) on the sources of $CO_2$ emission changes in the manufacturing sectors of Korea, UK, and USA. The sources of change in industrial $CO_2$ emission of a country, as manifested by production scale factor, structural factor, and technical factor, summarizes the forces behind the change in $CO_2$ emissions in each country's manufacturing sector. There are three observations. First one is that Korea's emission is increasing while USA and UK are experiencing reduction or stabilization of $CO_2$ emission in the manufacturing sector. Second implication is that the technical factor affecting $CO_2$ emission in Korea does not help much, or even hinder, the reduction of $CO_2$ emissions, comparing to USA and UK. Third one, which is the combined result of the first and the second one, is that Korea's increasing trend in aggregate $CO_2$ emission throughout the periods in consideration is mainly due to the failure in technical progress, or the deterioration in the structure of within subcategories, or both. The policy implications is clear. The obvious prescription is to launch a nation-wide policy drive which can revert these adverse trends.

자동차 주행 시 엔진회전수가 1,500rpm 이상이고 주행속도가 50km/hr 이상의 조건에서 가속 페달을 밟지 않은 상태로 관성주행(타행주행)을 하면 연료분사량이 "0"이 되고 그에 따라 엔진 배출 $CO_2$ 배출량도 "0"이 된다. 본 연구에서는 고속도로 및 자동차 전용도로에서의 이러한 연료차단(퓨얼컷 fuel-cut) 주행 구간을 찾고 연료차단 기능을 활용하는 경우 그 효과를 평가하였다. 본 시험의 결과 퓨얼컷 주행을 활용하면 약 4~5% 정도의 $CO_2$ 배출량을 줄일 수 있음을 알 수 있었고, 감속의 정도를 도로 상황에 맞게 최적화하는 경우 감소율을 더욱 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 추후 본 시험의 결과를 이용하여 도로 내리막 구간에서 연료소모량 및 $CO_2$ 배출량을 저감하면서도 과속으로 인한 사고를 예방하는 방안으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 기후변화협약 대응을 위한 울산광역시 사례로 화학 산업의 온실가스 인벤토리 구축 및 공정진단을 통해 온실가스 배출 저감 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 기업체의 기후변화 대응에 대한 방향을 제시하였다. 울산지역은 산업단지 중심으로 석유화학, 자동차, 조선 등 에너지 다소비업체가 많으며, 이산화탄소 배출 저감을 체계적으로 실시 할 경우 국가적 차원에서 이산화탄소 배출량을 상당히 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단되어 10개 기업체 대상으로 본 연구를 실시하였다. 온실가스 배출량은 최종에너지를 기준으로 산정한 경우 2004년 58,533천 톤 $CO_2$이며, 동일 년도 전국 온실가스 배출량인 592,600천톤 $CO_2$의 약 10%를 차지한다. 향후 2013년부터 한국이 2차 의무감축대상국이 될 경우 1990년도 온실 가스 배출 대비 5.2%의 감축률을 부여 받는다는 가정으로 경제적 손실액을 추정한 결과, 울산시의 경제적 손실은 1조에 가까운 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 울산지역은 최종 에너지소비가 2004년도에 전국 대비 12.5%로 매년 상승하고, 특히 2004년 1인당 최종에너지 소비의 경우 전국 평균은 3.38TOE이며, 울산시는 19.05TOE로 약 6배로 상당히 높게 나타났다. 또한 에너지 소비는 전국적인 규모로 비교하여 볼 때 점진적으로 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있다. 2003년의 경우 전국에너지 소비의 12.3%를 점유 하였던 것이 2010년에는 239.18백만 TOE로써 전국에너지 사용량의 14%를 점유 할 것이며, 점차 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 산업부문에서 에너지 사용비율이 80%이상으로 전국대비 에너지사용량이 상대적으로 높은 울산지역에서는 산업부문에서 온실가스발생량이 상당히 높은 것으로 예상 된다. 10개 기업체 중 5개 기업체의 온실가스 배출량 산정 및 인벤토리 구축 결과 온실가스 배출량의 공정에 따른 직접배출이 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 에너지 및 온실가스 저감을 위해 올 해 약 온실가스저감 227,554만원 경제적 효과가 나타났다. 또한 온실가스 이산화탄소 50,740 Ton/yr 절감효과를 발생하였다.

This study uses the LEAP model that is a long-term energy analysis model to analyze reduction potential on S city residential sector energy usage for greenhouse gas emission. Energy consumption of S-si in 2009 is consumed most in residential and commerce sector by 39.1%. Also, energy and greenhouse gas emission of residential sector is expected to increase due to increase of households. Therefore, greenhouse gas reduction measures are desperately required in residential sector. For this study recognizes energy consumption of S-si residential sector and has established reduction measure of S-si residential sector greenhouse gas through literature search on domestic and foreign climate change correspondence policies. Also, construction of greenhouse gas reduction potential by reduction measures through LEAP model. There were a total of 5 reduction measures scenarios is Reference Scenario, LED Lighting, Energy Alternative, Green Life Practice, and Total Reduction Measure. As a result, greenhouse gas emission of Light Emitting Diode Lightings by 2020 was $1,181.0thousand\;tonCO_2eq$, decrease of 6.1% compared to the Reference Scenario and Greenhouse gas emission of Energy Alternative by 2020 was $1,171.6thousand\;tonCO_2eq$, decrease of 6.8% compared to the Reference Scenario. Greenhouse gas emission of Green Life Practice by 2020 was $1,128.7thousand\;tonCO_2eq$, decrease of 10.2% compared to the Reference Scenario. For Total Reduction Measures by 2020 emission was $966.9thousand\;tonCO_2eq$, decrease 23.1% compared to Reference Scenario.

There have been few researches on the connection technology for steel structures, so the research outputs and the outcome of the technology development are still insufficient. The bracket-type connection should be improved for efficient constructability and $CO_2$ reduction. It should be replaced by a new type of weak-axis connection that has better structural performance and less $CO_2$ emission. Since the structural performance and safety of the new type of weak-axis connection must first be verified, however, a study on $CO_2$ reduction will be conducted. Therefore, this study looked into the structural performance of the bracket-type details, standard details, and ultra-simple details. It evaluated the requirements for connection materials and $CO_2$ emission. It was found that the ultra-simple weak-axis connection has thebest structural performance and the least $CO_2$ emissions, so it is deemed capable of replacing the bracket-type weak-axis connection.

This paper presents an alternative decomposition technique to identify the relative importance of factors associated with changes in $CO_2$ emissions by using directional distance function to model the joint production of desirable and undesirable outputs. The key feature of the proposed approach is the introduction of fossil and non-fossil fuel energy input efficiencies, productivity change and emission intensity change. For the 27 OECD countries as a whole, the empirical results indicate that economic growth is the most important contributor to $CO_2$ emissions increase, while efficiency change is the most important component to $CO_2$ emissions reduction between 1980 and 2007. For more extensive insights, this paper divided 3 groups according to the emission growth rate and find out that high emission countries show relatively low production efficiencies and technical changes contributing $CO_2$ emissions increase. The results also provide that more strict environmental regulations are needed to improve the pollution intensity in these countries.

$CO_2$ 의 배출로 인한 지구 온난화 진행을 막기 위하여 국제사회의 노력이 계속되고 있는 가운데, 일련의 기후변화 협약에 대한 기술적 대응수단으로써 $CO_2$ 저감 기술 확보의 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 우리나라도 향후 예상되는 $CO_2$ 배출 저감의무 부과에 대비하여야 할 것이며 발전부문과 같은 대규모 $CO_2$ 배출시설에서의 개선이 우선적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다.(중략)
