The purpose of this study is to analyze the potential quantity of Korean Offset Credits (KOC) resulting from Certified Emission Reductions (CER) in 98 domestic Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects that were registered with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as of the end of 2016. Our results show that the total amount of potential KOC is 62,774 kt CO2eq. The potential KOC is only 23.4% of the total CER Issuance. During the first phase, this will be 3.2% of the allocated volume. This is because many projects are related to Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), HFC-23, and adipic acid N2O. There is a strong bias in some sectors and projects which could act as market distortion factors. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the target CDM project and activate non CDM offset projects. RPS projects bring fundamental changes to the energy sector, and it is worth reconsidering their acceptability. A wide variety of policy incentives are needed to address strong biases toward certain sectors and projects. The offset scheme has the advantage of allowing entities to reduce their GHG emissions cost effectively through a market mechanism as well as enabling more entities to participate in GHG reduction efforts both directly and indirectly. In contrast, having an inadequate offset scheme range and size might decrease the effort on GHG reduction or concentrate available resources on specific projects. As such, it is of paramount importance to design and operate the offset scheme in such a way that it reflects the situation of the country.

본 연구에서는 $Ni/Al_2O_3$ 촉매를 사용한 에틸렌글리콜의 수증기 개질반응에서 제조 방법에 따른 영향을 알아보았다. 촉매들은 건식 함침법, 습식 함침법 그리고 공침법을 사용하여 제조하였다. 공침법을 사용하여 촉매 제조시 침전제를 KOH, $K_2CO_3$, $NH_4OH$를 각각 사용하여 침전제에 따른 영향 또한 알아보았다. 제조한 촉매들은 질소 물리흡착, 유도결합 플라즈마 질량분석법(ICP-AES), X선 회절법(XRD), 수소 승온 환원법(TPR), 수소 화학흡착, 승온 산화법(TPO), 주사전자현미경(SEM), 열분석법(TGA)을 사용하여 촉매의 물리화학적인 특성을 분석하였다. 773 K에서 환원한 촉매의 경우 KOH 혹은 $K_2CO_3$를 침전제로 사용하여 공침법으로 제조한 촉매가 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. 촉매 제조 방법은 Ni의 입자크기, Ni 산화물의 환원도, 반응에서의 활성과 안정성, 반응 중 탄소 침적의 형태 등에 영향을 끼치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. KOH를 침전제로 사용하여 공침법으로 제조한 촉매의 경우 환원온도를 773~1173 K까지 증가시켰을 때, Ni 입자크기의 증가에도 불구하고 Ni 산화물의 환원도가 증가하므로 반응활성이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

최근 지구온난화의 주원인인 이산화탄소(carbon dioxide, CO₂)의 배출량을 줄이기 위하여 한국은 탄소 배출량 감축목표와 탄소 중립을 선언하였으며, 이에 따른 지역별 배출량과 대기 중 CO₂ 농도의 정확한 평가가 중요해지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 위성자료와 CO₂ 배출량 자료를 활용하여 위성기반 대기 중 CO₂ 농도와 배출량의 시공간적 차이를 확인하고, 이러한 차이를 식생 성장에 따른 광합성 반응지수인 태양유도 엽록소 형광(solar-induced fluorescence, SIF)을 이용하여 설명하고자 하였다. 2014년부터 2018년까지 한국 지역에서 환경부 온실가스종합정보센터(Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Research Center, GIR) 및 Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) 배출량은 지속적으로 증가하였지만, 위성에서 관측된 CO₂ 농도는 2018년에 전년 대비 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 지역적으로 살펴보면 경기도, 충청북도는 2018년에 GIR, EDGAR 배출량이 증가하였지만 CO₂ 농도는 감소하였다. 또한, 배출량과 위성관측 CO₂ 농도의 상관성분석에서 서울과 강원도 지역에서 각각 0.22 (GIR), 0.16 (EDGAR)으로 낮은 상관성을 보였다. 대기 중 CO₂ 농도는 SIF와 지역별로 상이한 상관관계를 보였는데, 5~9월의 CO₂-SIF 상관성분석에서 서울과 경기지역은 -0.26의 음의 상관계수를, 충청북도와 강원도는 0.46의 양의 상관계수를 보이며 CO₂ 흡수와 대기 중 농도의 관계성이 지역별로 차이가 있음을 밝혔다. 따라서 대기 중 CO₂ 농도와 배출량 사이의 관계성을 분석함에 있어 CO₂ 흡수 과정에 대한 고려가 필요하다는 것을 시사한다.

모노에탄올아민(MEA)으로 대표되는 습식 아민을 이용한 이산화탄소 포집 공정은 기술적 신뢰도가 높아 초기 CCS(Carbon Capture & Storage) 시장을 주도할 것으로 전망된다. 다만 흡수제 재생에 에너지 소비가 많은 점이 단점으로 지적 받고 있어 흡수제 재생 에너지 절감을 위한 다양한 공정 개선안이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 MEA 공정에서 흡수탑으로 유입되는 배가스를 분할 유입하는 공정 개선안을 제안 하고 시뮬레이터를 이용한 공정모사를 통하여 그 효과를 보였다. 배가스를 분할 유입한 결과 흡수탑 하단부에서 냉각효과가 있었고 이로 인해 흡수제 유량이 감소하였다. 배가스 분할 비와 분할 유입 단 높이를 변경하며 최적 분할 조건을 찾았으며 이때 흡수제 유량은 6.4%, 재생 에너지는 5.8% 감소하였다.

Looking at the recent studies, nuclear energy and carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions nexus shows inconclusive result. To further explain nuclear energy-pollution nexuses this study is an attempt to analyze the impact of nuclear energy on pollution reduction for BRICS countries covering data for the period from 1993 to 2017. This study conducts advanced panel techniques such as Continuously-Updated Fully-Modified (CUP-FM) and Continuously-Updated Bias-Corrected (CUP-BC) for long run estimation. Our results support the notion that nuclear energy reduce CO₂ emissions. Also, renewable energy corrects environmental pollution in BRICS countries. The magnitude of the coefficient of nuclear energy is less as compared to renewable energy, implying that nuclear is less effective in reducing environmental pollution. The findings offer significant policy understandings and suggestions not only for BRICS economies but for developing countries as well in designing suitable nuclear energy-growth-carbon policies.

We are now currently facing serious climate changes such as super typhoon, flood, intense heat, severe cold, super hurricane, drought, desertification, destruction of ecosystem, marine pollution, reduction of food production, destruction of tropical forests, exhaustion of water resources, climate refugees, etc. All of the above mainly derive from greenhouse gas exhaustion. Such harmful consequence might directly affect mankind's sustainable development. If we keep using resources that emits greenhouse gases, the global temperature will rise about $3.2^{\circ}C$ by year 2050. In case of $3^{\circ}C$ rise in temperature, it will result in abnormal climate which will bring about severe property damage. Moreover, 20~50% of the ecosystem will become extinct. As Korea's economy increasingly expands, so do our energy consumption rises. And because of the consequences that can be driven by increasing rate of resource use, not just Korea itself, but also the whole world should seriously concern about greenhouse gases. Although agricultural division only takes up about 3.2% of total greenhouse gas emission, the ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs are taking voluntary actions to gradually reduce $CO_2$ and so does each and every related organizations. In order to reduce $CO_2$, introduction of new and renewable energy in farm house warming is crucial. In other words, implementing wood-pellet boiler and geothermal heat boiler can largly reduce $CO_2$ emission compared to diesel boiler. More importantly, not only wood-pellet and geothermal heat is pollution-free but they also have economic advantages some-what. In this thesis, the economic advantage and sustainablity will be introduced and proved through comparing practical analysis of surveyed farm house under structure employing wood-pellet boiler and geothermal heat boiler with Agriculture-Economic Statistic of 2012 who uses diesel boiler.

This study investigates the possibility of applying food waste leachate to a municipal solid waste incinerator in order to effectively dispose of the material and to reduce the environmental impact. The spray positions and the quantity of the food waste leachate in municipal solid waste incinerator were adjusted to examine the stability of the process and the environmental effect. The rear of the first combustion chamber was found to be the desirable location for an environmental perspective in this study. At a food waste leachate injection rate of $2m^3/h$, the concentration of the emitted NOx decreased from 130 ppm to 40 ppm. The consumption of ammonia water was reduced by about 36% after adding the food waste leachate. The inclusion of the food waste leachate to the municipal incinerator also increased the amount of steam that was produced. The results of this research indicated that a positive outcome can be expected in terms of diversifying the treatment options for food waste leachate. The results also provide guidance for institutional framework to manage the incineration of the food waste leachate.

LCA is a tool to support for making decisions by offering information of environmental aspects of products or services. It can be used to make decisions to consumers and NGOs as well as government and enterprises. LCA evaluates the environmental aspects throughout the entire life cycle of a product. Therefore it can quantify and assess environmental impacts from raw material acquisition, manufacturing, distribution, use and disposal to end of life and recycling. The demands of the recycling rate increase and the use of suitable materials for RoHS, REACH, WEEE, ELV which are linked trade with environmental regulation have increased the worldwide. Global warming is the critical challenge of the world facing. And under post-Kyoto protocol each country has to prepare for target reduction, so it became essential to save energy and resources. In addition that, the carbon mark has been run as the way of showing example of CO2 reduction in domestic and it will be extended gradually. And also through the introduction of Eco-label, environmentally-friendly product will be promoted. When those systems are operated, global warming gases (i.e. CO2) can be calculated throughout the entire life of the products by LCA. And the environmental impacts such as harmful material emission in the process of manufacturing, energy consumption, distribution and so on, can also be assessed. Therefore, The basic concepts of LCA technique and various cases and the practical application in the future will be review in this study.
