현재의 자동차 배출관리 전략은 단일 배출물질 중심의 정책 접근법으로 인해 정책 효과의 상호 중복이 발생하므로 이를 방지하고 효율적 예산 활용을 위해 통합적 시각에서의 교통-환경 정책을 수립할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 정책들의 개별 또는 통합 추진에 따른 총 편익과 공 편익의 비교를 통해 교통-환경 통합관리 전략의 시사점 도출을 목적으로 한다. 연구결과, 휘발유와 경유를 함께 절감할 수 있는 '승용차 요일제 & 노후 화물차 조기폐차' 정책(MIX-4)의 통합관리가 PM과 $CO_2$를 함께 저감하여 총 편익이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 배출량 영향인자인 통행량, 통행속도, 배출계수의 3요소를 동시에 제어할 수 있는 '승용차 요일제 & 환경 정책'(MIX-1~4), '혼잡 통행료 부과제 & 환경 정책'(MIX-5~8)의 통합관리가 공 편익 측면에서 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때, 교통-환경 정책의 통합관리는 건강에 유해한 대기오염물질과 기후 변화에 영향을 미치는 온실가스를 동시에 저감시킬 수 있으며, 정책 추진의 효율성을 제고하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

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.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from dye wastewater treatment processes were estimated by analysing their mass and energy balances, which were then used as baseline information for environmental assessment. The total GHG emissions from dye wastewater treatment plants were divided into direct emissions from the treatment processes and indirect ones from electricity usage. The amounts of $CO_2$, $CH_4$ and $N_2O$ emissions were calculated according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Clime Change (IPCC) guideline for the GHG target management system. For 3 years between 2011 and 2013, direct and indirect emissions were on average 8,742.7 and 7,892.0 Ton.$CO_2eq/year$, respectively, with the former exhibiting 52.6 %. Also, compared to 2012, in 2013, the eco-efficiency indicator by the GHG emissions was found to be more than 1, suggesting that environmental quality was effectively improved.

This study was conducted to evaluate methane ($CH_4$) and nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emissions from livestock agriculture in 16 local administrative districts of Korea from 1990 to 2030. National Inventory Report used 3 yr averaged livestock population but this study used 1 yr livestock population to find yearly emission fluctuations. Extrapolation of the livestock population from 1990 to 2009 was used to forecast future livestock population from 2010 to 2030. Past (yr 1990 to 2009) and forecasted (yr 2010 to 2030) averaged enteric $CH_4$ emissions and $CH_4$ and $N_2O$ emissions from manure treatment were estimated. In the section of enteric fermentation, forecasted average $CH_4$ emissions from 16 local administrative districts were estimated to increase by 4%-114% compared to that of the past except for Daejeon (-63%), Seoul (-36%) and Gyeonggi (-7%). As for manure treatment, forecasted average $CH_4$ emissions from the 16 local administrative districts were estimated to increase by 3%-124% compared to past average except for Daejeon (-77%), Busan (-60%), Gwangju (-48%) and Seoul (-8%). For manure treatment, forecasted average $N_2O$ emissions from the 16 local administrative districts were estimated to increase by 10%-153% compared to past average $CH_4$ emissions except for Daejeon (-60%), Seoul (-4.0%), and Gwangju (-0.2%). With the carbon dioxide equivalent emissions ($CO_2$-Eq), forecasted average $CO_2$-Eq from the 16 local administrative districts were estimated to increase by 31%-120% compared to past average $CH_4$ emissions except Daejeon (-65%), Seoul (-24%), Busan (-18%), Gwangju (-8%) and Gyeonggi (-1%). The decreased $CO_2$-Eq from 5 local administrative districts was only 34 kt, which was insignificantly small compared to increase of 2,809 kt from other 11 local administrative districts. Annual growth rates of enteric $CH_4$ emissions, $CH_4$ and $N_2O$ emissions from manure management in Korea from 1990 to 2009 were 1.7%, 2.6%, and 3.2%, respectively. The annual growth rate of total $CO_2$-Eq was 2.2%. Efforts by the local administrative offices to improve the accuracy of activity data are essential to improve GHG inventories. Direct measurements of GHG emissions from enteric fermentation and manure treatment systems will further enhance the accuracy of the GHG data.

The current residential process adheres to a traditional method of construction involving wood framing on-site on poured concrete foundations which has been widely applied in North America. A conventional residential construction process can include seventeen distinct stages ranging from stake-out to pre-occupancy inspection. The current practice possesses short comings including high construction material wastes, long scheduling timelines, adverse weather conditions, poor quality, low efficiencies and negative environmental impacts from transportation and equipment use. Over CAN $5 billion dollars was spent in the construction sector during 2007 in Canada. Previous findings in CO₂ emissions during the construction process of a conventional dwelling emphasize more than 45 tonnes of CO₂ emissions. Hence, in Alberta alone during 2007, almost 50,000 residential units would release more than two million tonnes of CO₂. These numbers demonstrate the economical and environmental impact in building construction and its relationship with CO₂ emissions. The aim of this paper is to quantify the CO₂ emissions from the current residential construction process in order to establish the baseline for CO₂ emission reduction opportunities. The quantification collection methodology will be approached by identifying the seventeen various stages of construction and quantifying the contributions of CO₂ from specific activities and their impacts of work for each stage. The approach of separating these into separate stages for collection will allow for independent opportunities for analysis from various independent contractors from the entire scope of work. The use of BIM will be implemented to efficiently quantify CO₂ emissions. Based on the CO₂ quantification baseline, emission reduction opportunities such as an industrialized construction process will be introduced that allows homebuilders to reduce the environmental and economical impact of home construction while enabling them to produce higher quality, more energy efficient homes in a safer and shorter period of time.

In this study GC and PAS were used to calculate $N_2O$ concentration of exhaust gas from Wood Chip combustion system. Fuel supplied to the incinerator was collected and analyzed and then the analysis result was used to calculate $N_2O$ emissions. Tier 3 and Tier 4 Method were used to calculate the $N_2O$ emissions. Plant's Specific emission factor of $N_2O$ by Tier 3 Method was 0.35 kg/TJ, while default emission factor of Wood?Wood Waste proposed by 2006 IPCC G/L was 4 kg/TJ. So the $N_2O$ emission factor of this study was 3.65 kg/TJ lower compared to the IPCC G/L. The total emissions calculated by Plant's specific emission factor was 4.22 kg during the measuring period, but by Tier 4 Method it was 7.88 kg. This difference in emissions was caused by the difference of continuous measuring and intermittent sampling. It would be necessary to apply continuous measuring to calculate emissions of $Non-CO_2$ gas whose the density distribution is relatively high. However currently, according to the target management guideline of greenhouse gas and energy, the continuous measuring method to calculate greenhouse gas emission is applied only to $CO_2$. Therefore for reliable greenhouse gas emission calculation it would be necessary to apply continuous measuring to calculate $Non-CO_2$ gas emission.

$CO_2$ 배출량은 차량의 속도와 관련이 있으며. 속도는 도로의 종류에 따라 다르게 나타난다. 그러므로 단속류 간선 도로의 차량 당 $CO_2$ 배출량은 교차로 특성과 지정체의 영향을 받을 가능성이 많다. 따라서 교차로의 존재, 지정체의 영향과 차량 당 $CO_2$ 배출량의 분석이 필요하다. 연구 방법은 첫째, 국도를 대상으로 차량의 교차로 통과방법에 따른 차량 당 $CO_2$ 배출량차이를 비교하였다. 둘째, 전체 대상구간에서 자유속도와 지정체 속도에 따른 차량 당 $CO_2$ 배출량차이를 비교하였다. 셋째, 구간별 차량당 $CO_2$ 배출량차이를 비교하였다. 차량 당 $CO_2$ 배출의 정량화를 위하여 속도에 따른 배출량 곡선을 사용하였다. 연구 결과는 첫째, 교차로에서 감가속 방법에 따라 최대 12%까지 차량 당 $CO_2$ 배출량의 차이가 나타났다. 둘째, 대상 구간 전체에서 지정체로 인해 30%이상 차량 당 $CO_2$를 배출하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 구간별 비교 결과 교차로 특성 등에 따라 최대 차량 당 40%까지 차이가 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 교차로 통과방법, 통행속도, 교차로 특성을 개선하면 차량 당 $CO_2$ 배출량을 감소할 수 있다는 추론이 가능하다.

각 산업 부문별 사업장의 이산화탄소 배출량을 산정하는 방법은 IPCC 가이드라인 및 온실가스, 에너지 목표관리 운영 등에 관한 지침에 의거하여 산정등급 1~4로 나뉜다. 본 연구에서는 발전시설, 소각시설, 그리고 시멘트 생산시설에 해당하는 7개 사업장을 선정하여 각각의 2011년 2월부터 5월까지 3개월 간의 활동 자료를 활용하고, 배출량 실측을 수행하여 산정등급별 이산화탄소 배출량 결과를 비교하였다. 일반적으로 산정등급 4에 의해 측정된 이산화탄소 배출량이 산정등급 3에 따른 계산 결과보다 높게 나타났고, 이는 미국의 발전시설에서의 이산화탄소 배출량 산정 결과와 일치하였다. 또한, 산정등급 3에서 신뢰할만한 이산화탄소 배출량 결과를 도출하기 위해서는 정확한 연료조성 분석 과정이 수반되어야 하는 것으로 파악되었다. 각 사업장의 이산화탄소 실제 배출량을 반영할 수 있는 산정 방법을 적용하기 위해 다각적 연구결과를 바탕으로 한 제도적 보완이 필요하다.

Considering the well known environmental issues of cement manufacturing (direct and indirect levels of $CO_2$ emissions), clinker replacement by supplementary cementing materials (SCM) can be a very promising first step in reducing considerably the associated emissions. However, such a reduction is possible up to a particular level of SCM utilization, influenced by the rate of its pozzolanic reaction. In this study a (4-step) structured methodology is proposed in order to be able to further adjust the concrete mix design of a particular SCM, in achieving additional reduction of the associated levels of $CO_2$ emissions and being at the same time accepted from a derived concrete strength and service life point of view. On this note, the aim of this study is twofold. To evaluate the environmental contribution of each concrete component and to provide the best possible mix design configuration, balanced between the principles of sustainability (low environmental cost) and durability (accepted concrete strength and service life ). It is shown that such a balance can be achieved, by utilising SCM by-products in the concrete mix, reducing in this way the fixed environmental emissions without compromising the long-term safety and durability of the structure.
