Rising concern about climate change has evoked interest in the potential for urban vegetation to help reduce the level of atmospheric CO\sub 2\, a major heat-trapping gas. This study quantified the functio of home energy savings and carbon emission reduction by shading, evapotranspiration and windspeed reduction of urban vegetatioin in Chuncheon. Tree and shrub cover averaged approximately 13% in residential land. The effects of shading, evapotranspiration and windspeed reduction annually saved heating energy by 2.2% and cooling energy by 8.8%. The heating and cooling energy savings reduced carbon emissions by 3.0% annually. These avoided emissions equaled the amount of carbon emitted annually from fossil fuel consumption by a population of about 1,230. Carbon emission reduction per residential building was 55kg for detached buildings and 872 kg for multifamily buildings. Urban vegetation annually decreased heating and cooling energy cost by ￦1.1 billions, which were equivalent to annual savings of ￦10,000 savings and carbon emission reduction due to tree plantings in the wrong locations, while windspeed reduction had a great effect. Plantings fo large trees close to the west and east wall of buildings, full tree plantings on the north, and avoidance of shade-tree plantings or selection of solar-friendlytrees on the south were recommended to improve the function of building energy savings and carbon emission reduction by urban vegetation.

Currently, the concern about the environment is the issue all over the world, and in particular, carbon emissions of the power plants will not be able to disregard from the respect of generation cost. This paper proposes DR (demand response) as a method of reducing carbon emissions and therefore, carbon emissions cost. There are a number of studies considering DR, and in this paper, the effect of DR is focused on the side of carbon emission reduction effect considering Time-Of-Use (TOU) program, which is one of the most important economic methods in DSM. Demand-price elasticity matrix is used in this paper to model and analyze DR effect. Carbon emissions is calculated by using the carbon emission coefficient provided by IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), and generator's input-output characteristic coefficients are also used to estimate carbon emission cost as well as the amount of carbon emissions. Case study is conducted on the RBTS IEEE with six buses. For the TOU program, it is assumed that parameters of time period partition consist of three time periods (peak, flat, off-peak time period).

As the Kyoto Protocol will come into effect starting February 2005, 55 member countries of the Conference of Parties of the Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) will be under obligation to reduce the emissions of Carbon Dioxide $(CO_2)$ by 5.2 Percent from the 1990 levels before the year 2012. Hence the development of technology to prepare for this has been accelerated in Korea. The effect of technology varies with market size of technology, and it is necessary to control technology development period, according to the size and trend of technology market. Moreover it is essential that market analysis be finished before technology development, because market on the $(CO_2)$ Reduction and Sequestration Technology expands internationally. For that reason, it is needed to analyze domestic market and to consider technology development strategy according to analysis results. In this paper, we analyzed the domestic industry and forecasted the market size, both related to the Reduction and Sequestration Technology on $(CO_2)$ emission, which is the major component of global Green House Gas(GHG).

지구온난화로 인한 범세계적 위기가 초래됨에 따라 1997년 선진국을 중심으로 교토의정서가 체결되었고 2015년 개발도상국까지 공동의무를 부과하는 파리협정이 체결되어 이를 계기로 온실가스 감축 규제 및 국가적 노력이 본격화 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국철도시설공단에서 효율적인 철도건설을 위해 전통적인 건설사업관리 업무를 전산화함에 따라 저감되는 탄소배출량을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 '방문감소에 의한 탄소발생 저감'과 '종이감소에 의한 탄소발생 저감'효과를 측정하는 산출모델을 제시하고자 한다. 수립된 산출모델을 활용하여 건설사업관리시스템 도입에 따른 탄소저감량을 산출하고 이를 경제적 비용으로 환산한다. 본 연구에서 제시한 산출모델 및 산출방식은 정보화사업 추진으로 인한 탄소저감 효과를 분석하는데 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In order to investigate the reduction of NO emissions, natural gas was fueled for two-stage combustion apparatus. NO and CO emissions were described by five variables: total air ratio, primary air ratio, secondary air injection position, secondary air injection velocity, and swirl ratio. It was mainly observed that, as the primary air ratios of 0 and 0.4 NO emission decreased with increasing the secondary air injection position and secondary air injection velocity. The effect of weak swirl on NO emission was found to be insignificant.

In this study, cycle simulation was performed to investigate the effect of EGR on combustion characteristics and emissions including NO and soot using a two-zone model in a DI diesel engine. The NO formation was well predicted for different EGR rate and temperature using a two-zone model. The oxygen in the inlet charge was replaced by CO$_2$ and H$_2$O with EGR. The reduction in the inlet charge oxygen resulted in very large reduction in NO level at the same inlet charge temperature. The effect of EGR was to reduce the burned gas temperature. When EGR was increased from 0% to 15%, the peak flame temperature was decreased by 50$\^{C}$ and it caused about 57% NO reduction. EGR caused increase of the overall inlet charge temperature which offset some of benefit of lower flame temperature resulting from O$_2$ displacement. Cooling the EGR was confirmed to provide additional benefits by lowering NO emission. It also reduced soot emission.

The global warming phenomenon emerges from the issue of climate change, which attracts the attention of intellectuals towards clean energy sources from dirty energy sources. Among clean sources, nuclear energy is getting immense attention among policymakers. However, the role of nuclear energy in pollution emissions reduction has remained inconclusive and demand for further investigation. Therefore, the current study contributes to extend knowledge by investigating the nexus between nuclear energy, economic growth, and CO₂ emissions in a developing country context such as Pakistan for the period between 1973 and 2017. The auto-regressive distributive lag model summarizes the nuclear energy has negative effect on environmental pollution as it releases carbon emission in the environment. Moreover, vector error correction Granger causality provides evidence for bidirectional causality between nuclear energy and carbon emissions. These interesting findings provide new insight, and policy guidelines provided based on these results.

식품 폐수 처리 설비중 폐수처리장 폭기조 송풍 설비 개선을 통한 수질개선 효과 및 전기사용량 변화에 따른 온실가스 발생량을 평가 하였으며, 식품 폐수처리장에서 발생되는 슬러지를 탈수, 보관, 이송하는 설비의 효율적인 개선을 통한 전기사용량 개선전과 개선후 변화에 따른 온실가스 발생량도 함께 평가하였다. 폐수처리장 설비 개선에 따른 온실가스 배출량 평가는 폐수처리 공정으로 부터의 직접배출과 전력사용으로부터의 간접배출량으로 구분 된다. 폐수처리장 수질 개선 효과는 BOD 제거율이 63.3%, COD 제거율 42.0%, SS 제거율 71.0%, T-N제거율이 39.6%로 나타났으며, 폐수처리에 의한 온실가스 직접배출량(Scope 1)과 전력소비량 변화에 대한 온실가스 간접배출량(Scope 2)을 적용하여 온실가스 배출량을 산정한 결과 설비 개선전 3,668.8tCO2eq./yr 에서 설비 개선후 3,392.8tCO2eq./yr 으로 감소 하여 총 276.0tCO2eq./yr (8.0%)의 온실가스 감축 효과가 있는 것으로 평가 되었다. 이상의 결과는 배출원의 수질 개선 효과로 인한 것이 아니라 전기사용량 감소로 인해 온실가스 배출량이 감소하였기 때문이다.

As the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increases, the reduction of CO2 is gaining worldwide attention. In the construction industry, cement replacement materials such as fly ash and blast furnace slag were investigated to reduce CO2 emissions in cement production process. Precast concrete is used in the field after manufacturing in the factory in the form of pipes and bricks because of shortening construction period and cutting construction cost. According to the results of previous research, it is known that early CO2 curing in concrete using OPC or fly ash has an initial strength enhancement effect and can be used for precast concrete production. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the strength improvement effect by confirming the initial strength improvement effect when blast furnace slag is mixed.
