The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to value-added products is a remarkable approach for mitigating CO₂ emissions caused by the excessive consumption of fossil fuels. However, achieving the electrocatalytic reduction of CO₂ still faces some bottlenecks, including the large overpotential, undesirable selectivity, and slow electron transfer kinetics. Various electrocatalysts including metals, metals oxides, alloys, and single-atom catalysts have been widely researched to suppress HER performance, reduce overpotential and enhance the selectivity of CO₂RR over the last few decades. Among them, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted a great deal of interest because of their advantages over traditional electrocatalysts such as maximized atomic utilization, tunable coordination environments and unique electronic structures. Herein, we discuss the mechanisms involved in the electroreduction of CO₂ to carbon monoxide (CO) and the fundamental concepts related to electrocatalysis. Then, we present an overview of recent advances in the design of high-performance noble and non-noble singleatom catalysts for the CO₂ reduction reaction.

시멘트 산업은 많은 양의 CO₂를 배출하며, 60~65%는 원료 소성과정에서 발생한다. 따라서, 석회석을 대체하여 비탄산염 원료를 사용하면 시멘트 산업의 CO₂를 감축할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 3종류 철강슬래그의 화학성분 및 피분쇄성을 평가하였으며, 저열시멘트 생산에 적용하는 것을 검토할 예정이다.

LD slag, that is, a by-product of steel making process, has been mainly used as land construction materials. Recently, the seashore application of LD slag was tried in Japan and Korea but the reaction between LD slag and seawater was not studied yet. We tried to clarify the leaching reaction and/or mechanism of LD slag and the reaction between seawater and LD slag. We tried to apply these results to the decarbonization of seawater for seawater magnesia process. The high pH solution(over 12) was injected into the sea water and the pH of mixed liquid was adjusted to 9.8. This mixed solution was aged for 8 hours and the 104ppm of CO$_3$$^{-2}$ in the sea water was decreased to 23ppm with the negligible loss of $Mg^2$$^{+}$. The slag particle was directly inserted into the seawater fur practical application. The 0.5~1mm particles were suitable for decarbonization when 5 grade slags mentioned above were reacted with sea water. In this case, the content of CO$_3$$^{-2}$ in the sea water was 53 ppm with the negligible loss of $Mg^2$$^{+}$ after 8 hours aging. The direct application of slag particle fur the decarbonization of seawater takes more reaction time.ime.

In recent years, the importance of Carbon Capture and Storage (hereafter CCS) is growing bigger and bigger. The development and commercialization of CCS technology are concerned for reducing carbon dioxide($CO_2$) emissions. For the most studies, the technology of $CO_2$ storage is known as the geological storage, ocean sequestration, mineral carbonation, industrial utilization, and so on. The geological storage is adjudged the most reasonable technology from economic and environmental aspects. Generally, the $CO_2$ geological storage is comprised of compression - transportation - drilling/injection - storage/management process. The critical problem is a leakage of $CO_2$ in all process. For resolving a leakage problem, it is necessary to predict and build a monitoring system. Those systems are proved safety of a leakage and received positive social perceptions of $CO_2$ geological storage. For those reasons, a risk assessment of $CO_2$ geological storage is required. A risk assessment is an estimated process of the possible effects when spilling $CO_2$. Although numerous studies of risk assessment have studied, it is incomplete to evaluate a risk and disaster quantitatively. The risk assessment will be developed for domestic application and safe $CO_2$ geological storage considering characteristics of Korea.

고정발생원으로 부터 배출되고 있는 이산화탄소를 분리하여 회수 및 재이용하는 기술개발이 에너지 보전 측면에서 뿐만 아니라 환경오염 문제 등을 해결할 수 있는 중요한 과제이다. 특히 내열성, 내식성 및 기계적 강도가 뛰어난 세라믹의 특성을 이용한 기체분리막을 응용한다면 고온으로부터 저온까지의 폭넓은 온도, 압력, 가스조성의 배기가스로부터 이산화탄소를 분리하는 것이 가능해 진다. 따라서 본 총설에서는 현재 일본에서 국책과제로 진행되고 있는 이산화탄소의 고온분리에 대한 연구개발(이하, '$CO_2$ 프로젝트'로 약칭) 현황을 소개하고자 한다.

In mammals, fatty acid utilization is initiated by activation of fatty acid, catalyzed by acyl-CoA synthetase(ACS, EC6.2.1.3). This enzyme reaction is essential in fatty acid metabolism, since mammalian fatty acid synthetase contains a specific thioesterase to produce fatty acid as th $\varepsilon$ final reaction product. Acyl-CoA, the product of ACS, is utilized in various metabolic pathways including membrane biogenesis, energy production and fat deposition. (omitted)

지속적인 기후변화와 지구온난화로 인해 2015년 12월 프랑스 파리에서 열린 제21차 유엔기후변화협약(UNFCCC) 당사국총회(COP21)에서 모든 당사국(195개국)이 온실가스 감축에 참여하는 파리협정이 체결됨에 따라 전 세계적으로 온실가스 감축에 대한 다양한 기술이 거론되고 있으며, 그 중에 CO₂를 감축시키는 것이 가장 효율적이라고 분석 되었다. 이에 따라 CO₂ 포집/저장/활용 기술(CCUS)은 CO₂ 감축의 실질적인 기여를 할 수 있는 수단으로 주목받았으며, CCUS기술 분야에 대해서 많은 국가들의 연구개발 활동이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이산화탄소 포집/저장/활용과 관련된 기술의 특허 동향 분석을 통해 CCUS 연구개발 및 전략적 지원방안 수립에 근거를 제시하고자 한다. 특허 분석은 미국, 한국, 일본, 유럽, 중국의 특허를 검색하여 총 10,137건을 수집하였고, 국가별 특허분석 결과 미국의 수가 가장 많았다. 기술별 분석에 따르면 포집에 관한 기술이 60%로 높았지만, 최근에는 활용에 관한 기술이 점점 증가하고 있는 것으로 나타난 만큼 이에 대한 기술 실증과 연구개발 및 정책적 지원이 지속적으로 이루어져야 될 것으로 보인다.

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is the most promising method of treating and recycling of different organic wastes, such as OFMSW, household wastes, animal manure, agro-industrial wastes, industrial organic wastes and sewage sludge. During AD, i.e. degradation in the absence of oxygen, organic material is decomposed by anaerobes forming degestates such as an excellent fertilizer and biogas, a mixture of carbon dioxide and methane. AD has been one of the leading technologies that can make a large contribution to producing renewable energy and to reducing $CO_2$ and other GHG emission, it is becoming a key method for both waste treatment and recovery of a renewable fuel and other valuable co-products. A classification of the basic AD technologies for the production of biogas can be made according to the dry matter of biowaste and digestion temperature, which divide the AD process in wet and dry, mesophilic and thermophilic. The biogas produced from AD plant can be utilized as an alternative energy source, for lighting and cooking in case of small-scale, for CHP and vehicle fuel or fuel in industrials in case of large-scale. This paper provides an overview of the status of biogas production and utilization technologies.

본 연구는 시멘트 산업의 CO₂ 저감을 위한 가장 핵심적인 기술 중 CCU(Carbon Capture, Utilization)를 적용하여 이산화탄소의 활용을 극대화 시키기 위한 일환으로 이산화탄소 양생 환경에서의 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트 페이스트를 대상으로 하여 탄산화 반응 촉진제의 혼입 유·무에 따른 재령 별 탄산화 깊이 변화와 이에 따른 기초 물리 특성변화를 검토하고자 하였으며, 콘크리트 분야에서 CO₂ 고정량을 평가하기 위하여 가장 범용적으로 사용하는 벙법인 고온에서의 CaCO₃ 탈탄산을 평가하는 열분석 방법을 적용하여 중량 감소율에 따른 결과를 평가하였다. 평가결과, 시멘트 페이스트에 CRA 혼입에 따라 두 가지의 환경조건에서 모두 압축강도 성능이 소폭 감소하는 경향이 나타났지만, 탄산화 깊이 확산성능에 있어서 CRA의 혼입으로 경화체 내의 탄산화 깊이가 상당 부분 증가하는 경향을 확인하였다. 또한, 항온항습기 양생 조건, 탄산화챔버 양생 조건의 순서로 Plain 대비하여 각각 23.8 %, 40.77 %만큼의 중량 감소율이 증가한 경향을 확인하였기에 CRA 첨가에 따른 우수한 CaCO₃의 생성량을 확인할 수 있었으며 CO₂의 농도가 증가할수록 그 생성량 또한 증가하는 것으로 확인하였다. 이는 소요성능 수준 이상의 성능을 만족할 수 있을 것으로 사료되며, 탄산화 저감을 목표로 하는 모든 CCU 기술에 재료적 측면으로 접목 및 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was carried out to quantify degree of contribution of harvested wood product (HWP) on mitigation of climate change by valuation of public benefits, environmentally and economically. The potential carbon dioxide emission reduction of HWP was estimated by accounting carbon storage effect and substitution effect. Based on 2014 statistics of Korea Forest Service, domestic HWPs were sorted by two categories, such as wood products produced domestically from domestic and imported roundwood. The wood products were divided into seven items; sawnwood, plywood, particle board, fiberboard (MDF), paper (including pulp), biomass (wood pellet) and other products. The carbon stock of wood products and substitution effects during manufacturing process was evaluated by items. Based on the relevant carbon emission factor and life cycle analysis, the amount of carbon dioxide emission per unit volume on HWP was quantified. The amounts of carbon stock of HWP produced from domestic and from imported roundwood were 3.8 million $tCO_{2eq}$., and 2.6 million $tCO_{2eq}$., respectively. Also, each reduction of carbon emission by substitution effect of HWP produced from domestic and imported roundwood was 3.1 million $tCO_{2eq}$. and 2.1 million $tCO_{2eq}$., respectively. The results of this study, the amount of carbon emission reduction of HWP, can be effectively used as a basic data for promotion of wood utilization to revise and establish new wood utilization promotion policy such as 'forest carbon offset scheme', and 'carbon storage labeling system of HWP'.
