As the internal combustion engine vehicles of high fuel efficiency and low emission are demanded, it becomes important to procure technologies for improving low-temperature performance of automotive catalyst systems. In this study, we showed that the combustion rate of diesel particulate matter is greatly enhanced at low temperature by applying fuel-borne catalyst and perovskite catalyst concurrently. It was tried to examine the correlation between elemental composition of perovskite catalyst and combustion activity of mixed catalyst system. To achieve this goal, we applied temperature-programmed oxidation technique in testing the combustion behavior of perovskite-mixed particulate matter bed which contained the element of fuel-borne catalyst or not. We tried to explain the synergetic action of two catalyst components by comparing the trends of concentrations of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide in temperature-programmed oxidation results.

Biodiesel and its blend fuels from soybean oil were characterized for their oxidation to apply automobile fuel from the analysis of FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) and chemical properties. Biodiesel produced from soybean oil contained unsaturated fatty acids (> 85 wt%) such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid. Especially, polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid and linolenic acid containing active methyl radical were over 60 wt%. It is believed that linoleic acid and linolenic acid cause oxidation. Linoleic acid and linolenic acid during oxidation were major reactants, and compounds with the carbon number having around 36 (boiling point of about $500^{\circ}C$) were produced from those of radical autoxidation.

고형원료인 폐기물의 감량화 및 자원화 기술 중 가장 대표적인 기술로 폐기물의 소각(incineration)기술과 가스화(gasification)용융기술을 들 수 있다. 폐기물 가스화 기술은 폐기물 내의 탄소, 수소 성분을 가스화하여 CO, $H_2$가 주성분인 합성가스(synthesis gas, syngas)로 전환하여 불연물은 용융되어 환경적으로 무해한 슬래그로 회수하는 기술이다. 폐기물 가스화 용융 시스템으로 발생된 합성가스를 재순환하여 사용하는 합성가스 재순환시스템을 통해 가스화에 필요한 열을 시스템 내에서 대체하여 사용하는 기술개발은 폐기물 가스화 용융기술의 경제성을 높일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 고형 폐기물 가스화반응에 의해 발생되는 합성가스를 재순환하여 폐기물 가스화 용융 시스템내의 자체 에너지원으로 활용할 수 있도록 하는 합성가스 재순환 시스템 및 버너의 운전특성을 고찰하였다. 합성가스의 재순환 장치에서의 운전 압력 제어 및 유량제어를 통해서 안정적인 합성가스 재순환 성능과 재순환버너의 연소 성능을 유지할 수 있었다. 합성가스 재순환버너에 의한 16,800 $kcal/Nm^3$ 조건 및 33,600 $kcal/Nm^3$ 조건에서 운전시에도 가스화기의 운전온도는 안정적으로 유지됨에 따라 생산된 합성가스의 가스화기 보조연료 대체 및 에너지절감이 가능한 것으로 판단된다.

산업활동에 의해서 대기중에 배출되어지는 $CO_2$의 예측수법으로써 1983연도 미환경보호국의 보고서 $\ulcorner$지구기후안정화의 정책선정$\lrcorner$ 및 세계적으로 폭넓게 쓰여지고 있는 J. Edmonds & J. Reilly 양씨가 발표한 보문 $\ulcorner$장기 지구 Energy $CO_2$모델$\lrcorner$등을 사용해서 각종 화석연료의 궁극가채매장양으로부터 $CO_2$의 방출양을 예측 검토해 본 것이다. 대기중의 $CO_2$농도는 산업혁명 이후의 약 280ppm에서 최근 약 350ppm으로까지 증대되어가고 있다는 보고다. 그 원인은 지구삼림 개발과 석탄등의 화석연료 연소에 의해 대기중에 방출되어 지는 $CO_2$ 때문인 것이다. 현재 인류는 연간 탄소환산으로써 약 52억톤의 화석연료를 소비하여 발생시킨 $CO_2$를 대기중에 방출하고 있다. 세계기상기구(WMO)와 유엔환경계획(UNEP)이 주최하는 기후변동의 정부간판넬(IPCC)의 보고에서는 만약 아무런 대책도 공시하지 않고 있다면(시나리오 Bau: Bussiness as Usual), 전지구적 평균기온은 내세기의 10년안에 0.3$^{\circ}C$씩 상승이 예상된다고 한다. 이와같은 변화는 과거 1 만년간에 비유할수 없을만큼 급격한 변화도 있다고 하는 것이다. 이것은 2025년에는 내세기말 까지에는 3$^{\circ}C$의 기온상승이 예상되고, 이에 따른 해면상승은 2030년에는 20cm, 내세기말까지에는 65cm로 예상하고 있다.

Recently, we have a lot of interest in alternative fuels to provide energy independence from oil producing country and to reduce exhaust emissions for air pollution prevention. Biodiesel, which can be generated from natural renewable sources such as new or used vegetable oils or animal fats, may be used as fuel in diesel engine of compression ignition engine. In this paper, the test results on specific fuel consumption and exhaust emissions of neat diesel oil and biodiesel blends(10 vol.% biodiesel and 20 vol.% biodiesel) were presented using four stroke, direct injection diesel engine, especially this biodisel was produced from soybean oil at our laboratory. This study showed that Soot and CO emission were decreased as the blending ratios of biodiesel to diesel oil increased, on the other hand NOx emission was slightly increased because of the oxygen content in biodiesel. Also, the biodiesel blends yielded slightly higher specific fuel consumption than that of diesel oil because of lower heating value of biodiesel.

PIP is an abbreviation of 'Performance Improvement Package', which is a package that can improve performance by applying some design changes to existing aircraft. Boeing provides PIP applicable to B777-200, and Airbus provides PIP applicable to A350-900 as standard. PIP provided by Boeing and Airbus is a separate task, but it is expected to reduce fuel consumption by reducing drag through aerodynamic improvements. The PIP applied to the A350-900 includes work such as increasing Winglet Height and re-twisting Outboard Wing. This study is to verify the effect of PIP application of the A350-900 aircraft and use it as basic data for economic analysis. The aerodynamic improvement studies and expected effects of the PIP application were examined, and the actual flight data of the PIP-applied and the non-applied aircraft were compared to confirm the PIP application effect. This paper provides empirical results for the aviation industry on the PIP application efficiency as a method of improving fuel efficiency and reducing carbon emission.

Most of the reformer experiments have been conducted only in high-temperature operation conditions above 700℃. However, to design high efficiency solid oxide fuel cell, it is necessary to test actual reaction performance in mid-temperature (550℃) operation areas. In order to study the operation characteristics and performance of commercial reforming catalysts, a reforming performance experiment was conducted on mid-temperature. The catalysts used in this study are Ni-based FCR-4 and Ru-based RuA, RuAL. Experiments were conducted with a Steam-to-carbon ratio of 2.0 to 3.0 under gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) 2,000 to 5,000 hr-1. As a result, RuA and RuAL catalysts showed similar gas composition to the equilibrium regardless of the reforming temperature. However, the FCR-4 catalyst showed a lower hydrogen yield compared to the equilibrium under high GHSV conditions.

Interest in hydrogen productions that do not emit carbon dioxide and can produce hydrogen at a low price is increasing. Reforming and electrolysis are widely used, but they have limitations, such as carbon dioxide problems and costs. The methane can be decomposed as hydrogen and solid carbon without carbon dioxide emission at high temperatures. In this research, the methane pyrolysis experiment was conducted at 1,200℃ and 1,400℃ in a ceramic tube. The composition of the produced gas was measured by gas chromatography before carbon blocked the tube. The methane conversion rate and hydrogen selectivity were calculated based on the results. The hydrogen selectivity was derived as 60% and 55% at the highest point at 1,200℃ and 1,400℃, respectively. The produced solid carbon was expected to be carbon black and was analyzed using scanning electron microscope.
