교토의정서 발효 후 유럽을 중심으로 한 선진국에서는 온실가스 배출권거래제를 국제사회에 보급함으로서 경제적 이익을 창출하고자 한다. 우리나라의 이산화탄소배출량은 세계 상위권 수준이며 이에 대한 대책이 절실히 필요한 시점이다. 철도선진국은 전 세계적으로 대두되고 있는 지구온난화문제를 신속하고 적극적으로 대처하고 있으나 국내 철도부분에서의 온실가스배출저감에 대한 대응은 미흡하다. 본 논문은 현재 철도분야의 대응방안, 철도급전시스템에서 신재생에너지를 이용한 에너지 대체방안과 에너지절약 방안 등을 다룬다.

Emission Trading (ET) among Annex I countries as expounded in Kyoto mechanism can be an effective mean to control Greenhouse Gases(GHGs), particularly $CO_2$ emissions from fossil fuels. For the international ET to be an effective tool to reduce the global emissions, however, it presupposes that there are no carbon leakage, i.e. Annex I emitters will purchase emission permits if emitting above caps, rather than importing emission-intensive goods from non-Annex I countries thus inducing the foreigners to emit instead. The extent to which a country leaks carbon through trade can be revealed by its bilateral balance of current accounts and related Balance of Emissions Embodied in Trade (BEET) supplemented by Emission Terms of Trade (ETT). Earlier studies on BEET and ETT relied on few selected countries in a partial equilibrium context, Korea being treated as insignificant though she is not a minor emitter. This paper is an attempt to examine BEET in the global CGE framework and to compare its structural difference across countries, with a special emphasis on South Korea.

We analyze the learning-by-doing effects of the allowance pricing system on the Korea's emission trading scheme. The price of allowance (Korean Allowance Unit) is influenced differently by internal market factors and economic conditions variables in the first (January 2015 to June 2016 ) and the second commitment year(January 2016 to June 2017). The prices and transaction volumes of complementary credits (KCU and KOC) as well as economic conditions variables (such as call rate, exchange rate, stock price) are statistically significant only for the second commitment year. Thus, the learning-by-doing effect makes the market participation decision on K-ETS market more efficient in the second commitment year, adopting the previous experience and knowledge in the K-ETS market. The factors estimated significantly in both commitment periods include the institutional binary variable for requiring the submission of the emissions verification reports issued both on February and March.

온실가스 에너지 목표관리제도 뿐만 아니라 배출권거래제도도 도입을 준비하고 있는 등 외부에서 제도의 압박이 거세지고 있다. 기업에서는 온실가스 감축과 관련하여 조직 전부문이 참여하는 실질적 에너지경영체계를 구축해야 하며 조직 외부와 에너지 감축기술에 대한 커뮤니케이션 네트워크를 구성하는 등 기후변화에 대한 대응이 필수적인 사항이 되었다. 이제는 규제대응을 넘어 미래 전략 차원에서 접근과 노력을 해야 한다.

A forest project for the sequestration of carbon dioxide helps to reduce the concerntration of greenhouse gas in atmosphere and provides various co-benefits. A lot of forestry-based carbon offset programs have been developing for the purpose of CSR(Corporate Social Responsibility), voluntary GHG emission reduction, and regulatory context etc. in worldwide. We studied major characteristics - project type and criteria, additionality, credits, permanence, carbon accounting and monitoring, co-benefit - of advanced forest carbon offset programs. Also, we tried to comprehend the direction and basic elements to design a domestic program.

In this study, the effect on the economy-energy-environment gap among regions of reducing GHGs is analyzed under various scenarios, using a multiregional dynamic CGE model. Regions in Korea are classified as six metropolitan areas. Scenarios are set in three cases such as self-regulatory measures, carbon tax and emissions trading scheme. The reduction target under each scenario is again classified according to volume basis and intensity basis. In results, self-regulation is shown to deepen the economic divide mostly, followed by a carbon tax, emissions trading scheme in order. This result could be interpreted such that a system based on market incentives gives less effect on the gap among regions. However, market incentives based system is expected to take time to build. Thus in implementing policies to increase short-term effects of the reduction targets, complementary policies are needed to reduce the regional devide.

기후변화협약이 지난 2월16일 교토의정서의 발효로 새로운 국면을 맞이하게 되었다. 선진국들의 감축활동의 본격시작, EU의 배출권거래의 시작, CDM/JI사업을 통한 크레딧 확보를 인한 탄소기금의 형성 등 이제는 기후변화협약의 협상에 대한 논의에서 온실가스 감축을 위한 실질적인 이행이 시작되고 있다. 이산화탄소가 거래수단이 되는 새로운 경제체제가 만들어지고 있는데, 온실가스 감축실적이 양(+) 또는 음(-)의 추가적인 경제가치를 가지게 된다. 신재생에너지는 높은 초기투자비용에 의한 어려움을 가지고 있는데, 기후변화협약과 이에 의한 CDM사업의 활성화로 새로운 기회를 맞이하게 되었다. 신재생에너지 부문은 고유가와 온실가스 크레딧의 수요 증대로 시장의 수요와 기회가 증대되고 있지만, 이에 대하여 국내 입장에서 검토하여보고 이러한 기회가 어떤 의미를 가지게 되는지를 되짚어 보고자 한다.

The main purpose of this study is to find what steps are needed for a system for CO2 emissions trading to be formulated as government policy, using System Thinking approach. First, this paper analyzed Korean newspapers to consider the social issue regarding CO2 emissions trading. There were more articles related to international issues than domestic ones before 2008. This trend, however, became reversed from January 2008, which means that consideration of CO2 emissions trading has been discussed as a domestic social issue from 2008. Second, it analyzed speeches by former president Roh Moo-Hyun and current president Lee Myung-bak. In particularly, President Lee Myung-bak declared "Low Carbon and Green Growth" as a new growth engine and a Korea's vision of the future national development. Third, it examined which government agencies, including departments and committees, are pursuing policies regarding climate change, global warming, and CO2 emissions trading. Most policy has originated in the Ministry of Environment, although policy alternatives have been proposed in other agencies including the Ministry of Knowledge Economy. The study concludes that the political consideration has played a major role in the policy agenda-setting process of the CO2 emissions trading in Korea.
