변전기기의 전력손실은 전력계 전체 중에서는 얼마 안되는 양으로, 그 전력손실에 관련되는 온실효과가스 배출의 비율은 비교적 적다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 일본 전체의 온실효과가스 배출량이 증가추세에 있음을 고려하면, 변전기기에 대해서도 꾸준한 개선노력이 필요하다. 변전기기에 대한 당초부터의 제품개발 방침은 소형화(小型化)$\cdot$간소화(簡素化)이며, 주로 설치환경의 배려(配慮)와 경제성 추구를 목적으로 한 것이므로, 온난화(溫暖化)의 영향을 의식하게 된 것은 지난 몇 년 동안의 일이다. 이들의 제품개발 방침에 의거하여 제품 제작에 따른 환경부하(環境負荷)에 대하여 상대(相對) 비교는 할 수 있으나, 라이프사이클을 고려한 경우에는 운용과 제작시의 환경부하 합계가 지금까지에 대하여 경감(輕減)되었는지를 추정하기가 곤란하다는 문제도 있다. 그래서 제품의 라이프사이클 전체를 통하여 환경에 미치는 부하의 크기를 수치화(數値化)하여 평가하는 것이 필요하게 된다. 라이프사이클 어세스먼트(LCA, Life Cycle Assessment)는 이러한 관점에서 개발된 틀로서 데이터를 취득하는데 많은 시간이 걸리지만, 용도에 따라서는 간편한 방법을 선택하거나 소형화$\cdot$간소화쪽으로 방향을 좁혀 LCA로 상세하게 평가하는 구성도 할 수 있다. 그 최대의 효과는 환경부하를 정량화(定量化)할 수 있는 것이며, 아울러 환경부하의 가일층의 저감이 가능하다는 것을 생각할 수 있다. 또한 LCA사례에서, 제품개발방침인 소형화$\cdot$간소화가 환경부하 저감에 합치하며, 이 방침이 유효하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Experiments have been conducted to investigate emission characteristics of compressed natural gas fueled vehicle(CNGV) by the FTP 75 mode test. Its purification technologies were also investigated. It was found that CNGV was operated on the rich A/F condition by comparison with gasoline vehicle. The Pd catalyst was higher in methane purification performance than Pt and Pd/Pt/Rh catalysts. Up to 60% portion of the accumulative HC emissions(that contains above 80% methane) form CNGV occurs during the first phase of the FTP 75 mode. CO that is exhausted at rich conditions of the air-fuel ratio more than lean conditions should be used for the catalytic reduction of NOX, because the methane is not the effective reduction for NOX in the CNGV with 3-way catalyst system.

Carbon dioxide is a major cause for which accelerates Global Warming. Therefore several countries are working on the project recommended to use a bicycle instead of the car when you move to the nearby destination in an effort to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide. In this paper, It was developed to measure the greenhouse gas reduction using Bluetooth Sensor Node by riding a bicycle instead of a car and management system in order to authenticate the riding record. The developed application provides various information such as individual bicycle mileage, greenhouse gas reductions, bicycle riding path, the number of planted ginkgo trees. This proposed system is expected to be helpful to green house gas emission reduction because the usage rate of bicycle will increase if government combine ways to offer people rewards such as pin money or tax breaks for people who take advantage of the bicycle with the project.

Emissoin of heavy duty vehicle have much positioned in air pollution although its limited number of vehicles. CNG vehicles are coming to the fore as one of the solution of diesel vehicles. CNG vehicles exhaust smaller emission than diesel vehicles on PM and NOx. In this study, aftertreatment technologies are introduced on vehicles which use CNG and hydrogenmixed fuel. Withmixing hydrogen with CNG, combustion efficiency is enhanced, and harmful emission might be decreased, but methane that is main component of CNG brings green house effect. In order to remove methane and NOx in exhaust gas of CNG engine, methane oxidation catalyst and SCR technologies were respectively analyzed.

This study was aimed to suggest a management strategy of GHG emissions for the public organizations in land and housing costruction sector. As public organizations' businesses are characterized as 'public' and 'comprehensive', these characteristics should be considered in scoping emissions, setting-up reduction target, building GHG inventory, and establishing management system. Since public organizations' activities in construction sector involve a wide range of social infrastructure construction projects, it is not easy to account their actions to reduce GHG emissions quantitatively. Therefore, this study suggested that a twofold approach is suitable for public organizations in construction area, classifying the measurable reductions and the immeasurable actions according to the their business characteristics. To give a concrete example, a GHG emission management system for the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) was proposed.

국내외적으로 온실가스 저감을 위한 방안 마련이 필요한 이유로 산업분야에 온실가스 사용량에 대한 산정방법 마련이 시급하다. 물류산업에서도 물류 프로세스상에서 발생하는 온실가스 데이터의 산정을 위해 많은 연구가 진행되고 있지만, 운송에 관련된 분야에 한정적으로 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 물류프로세스 사이에서 물품의 보관 시 발생하는 전력사용량을 수집하여 온실가스 데이터를 확보하고, 탄소배출량을 산정하는 방안을 제안하고 개발한다.

Construction waste is generated at a rate of approximately 221,102 tons/day in Korea. In particular, mixed construction waste generates approximately 24,582 tons/day. The other components were recycled by 98.9%. The amount of greenhouse gas emissions from the waste was 17.1 million tons of CO2 equaling 2.3% of the total greenhouse gas emissions. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reducing the environmental impact is becoming increasingly important. However, appropriate treatment must first be established, as mixed construction waste is also increasing. Thus, an effective plan is urgently needed because it is frequently segregated and sorted by the landfill and incinerated. In addition, there is an urgent need to prepare various effective recycling methods rather than a simple treatment. Therefore, this study analyzed the environmental impact of the treatment of mixed construction waste by calculating greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, the highest greenhouse gas generation occurred during the incineration stage. Moreover, the optimal method to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is recycling and energy recovery from waste. In addition, the amount of greenhouse gas generated during energy recovery from the waste stage was the second highest. However, greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by using waste as energy to reduce fossil fuel consumption. In addition, for the transportation stage, the optimal reduction plan is to minimize the amount of greenhouse gas emissions by setting the optimal distance and applying biofuel and electric vehicle operations.

생활폐기물 소각시설에서의 다이옥신이 사회적 관심사로 대두되면서 각 소각시설에서는 다이옥신 농도를 기준치이하로 저감시키려는 노력을 꾸준히 해왔다. 그 결과 '97년 이후 배출농도 수준이 점진적으로 개선되고 있다. 그 대책으로 여러 가지 방안이 시행되었으나 소각시설 운전의 최적화와 시설개선에 의한 효과가 가장 큰 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 개선노력의 일환으로 본 연구의 대상이 되는 생활폐기물 소각시설에서는 배출되는 다이옥신 농도를 저감시키기 위해서 시범 플랜트를 설치ㆍ운영하고 있고, 본시설 또한, 운전 최적화와 후처리시설의 대체를 도모하고 있다.(중략)

Mobile sources are one of the most significant contributors to the inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG). The administration in Korea has set a goal of cutting GHG emissions of vehicles by 34.3% compared to Business As Usual (BAU) by 2020. To achieve this goal, GHG emission standards for vehicles have been applied since 2012, and now light-duty trucks are under consideration to be included to the vehicle types that will be regulated in the new version of GHG emission standards. Therefore, this study focuses on analyzing characteristics of exhaust GHGs (CO2, CH4, and N2O) emissions of diesel light-duty trucks according to their various driving modes. GHGs emissions of diesel light-duty trucks reduced in inverse proportion to the speed of the vehicles. GHGs emissions from the combined mode were 8% and 14% lower than those from the CVS- 75 and NEDC modes, respectively.

To achieve the national goal of "2050 Carbon Neutrality" in the era of the climate crisis, it is important to support the decarbonization of ports, which are the vital node of the global supply chain. Following the establishment of the concept of port's decarbonzation, this study reviewed the obstacles and solutions to port decarbonization through literature research. Furthermore, the goals and strategies for decarbonization implementation of world major ports were examined through case analysis, and the level of decarbonization implementation of the five Korean major ports was quantitatively evaluated using a performance-based score measurement method. As a result of the analysis, the level of decarbonization of Korean ports is generally far behind that of advanced countries. In particular, measures for environment-friendly inland transportation, future alternative fuel bunkering facilities, and various market-based incentive policies are needed. As a policy task for the decarbonization of Korean ports, first, the necessity of establishing a emission inventory, monitoring, and reporting system and the disclosure of related information, second, the mixing strategy of various greenhouse gas reduction measures, and third, the increase in the proportion of renewable energy at ports were suggested.
