에너지 효율관리제도(최저효율기준, 라벨링 제도 등)는 에너지 사용의 증대와 산업의 발달에 따른 다양한 기기들의 개발에 따라 에너지기기들의 수요가 늘어나고 있는 현실에서 기기의 수요는 감소시키지 않으면서도 에너지를 감소시킬 수 있는 가장 효과적이고 경제적인 수단으로 평가받고 있다. 이는 이산화탄소를 비롯한 온실가스의 방출을 제한하여 지구온난화를 방지하고자 하는 기후변화협약을 이행하는 데에 있어 중요한 도구가 되고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 고효율기기의 효율향상에 따른 기후변화협약에 대한 기여도 산정을 위해, 효율향상 시에 이산화탄소 절감량을 구하는 방안을 제시하고자한다.

본 연구논문에서는 주요 온실가스인 이산화탄소의 제거를 목적으로 이온성 액체를 실험실규모로 제조한 후 기-액 흡수평형장치를 이용하여 이산화탄소의 용해도 및 재생특성 그리고 희석제첨가에 따른 영향을 조사하였다. 이산화탄소 용해도는 흡수평형압력 25bar조건에서 두 이온성 액체 모두 0.6 mole $CO_2$/mole ILs의 비슷한 흡수력을 보였다. 재생성능의 경우 탈착 전 후의 흡수력 차가 약 7%로 양호한 재생력을 나타냈다. 점도 감소를 위하여 sulfone 희석제를 첨가하여 조사한 결과 흡수력에서 약 15%가량 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

내연기관 자동차는 연료 소모로 인해 대기 중에 유해 물질과 온실가스를 배출한다. 반면에 전기 자동차는 전기로 작동되어 대기 중 오염을 줄이고 친환경적인 운행을 제공한다. 전기차 대여 시스템을 도입함으로써, 사용자들에게 친환경적인 교통수단을 이용할 수 있는 기회를 제공하고, 탄소 배출량을 줄이는 데 크게 기여할 수 있기에 해당 연구를 진행하였다. 이 연구에는 React 기반의 Next.js 웹 프레임워크를 이용하여 클라이언트 측과 서버 측 렌더링을 지원하고 사용자들에게 빠른 반응 속도와 사용 편의성을 제공한다. Bootstrap을 이용하여 사용자 인터페이스(UI)를 개발하고, 전기 자동차 대여 서비스에 필요한 화면을 구성하였다. 또한 Node.js 기반의 Express.js 웹 프레임워크를 이용하여 서버 사이드 로직과 RESTful API를 개발하는 데 사용하고 데이터베이스와의 통신, 사용자 인증, 대여 정보 관리 등을 처리하였다. 이러한 기술적 개발을 통해 전기 자동차 대여 시스템은 실용적이고 효율적인 서비스를 제공하며, 환경 보호와 탄소 배출 감소에 기여할 수 있는 프로젝트라고 볼 수 있다.

삶의 질을 향상시키기 위하여 파생된 온실가스의 배출은 건조한 기후를 만들어 사막화를 가중시키고 있다. 이러한 건조지대가 늘어감에 따라 계절적으로 불어오던 대륙의 먼지바람이 주기를 달리하면서 한반도를 위시한 주변국에 영향을 미치고 있다. 최근에 발생하는 극심한 황화현상도 바로 이 때문이다. 특히 대륙으로부터의 황사는 1-10$\mu\textrm{m}$ 정도의 미세먼지가 주종을 이루고 있기 때문에 온실 피복자재에 부착되어 투광율을 떨어뜨리고 있다. (중략)

The government is promoting various policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for carbon neutrality, one of the key tasks is to revitalize the hydrogen economy. As one of these policies the government has formulated a plan to incorporate hydrogen into existing city gas pipes, and aims to commercialize 20% hydrogen mixing by 2026. In preparation for the commercialization of city gas and hydrogen mixture, this study quantitatively predicts the scale of damage and the range of impact in the event of leakage of these two gas mixtures. The quantitative damage prediction method is to calculate the damage conversion distance through the calculation of the TNT equivalent by setting the leakage amount of the gas mixture in the event of an accident under a virtual scenario.

As part of a feasibility study for introducing carbon labeling of fruit products in Korea, we explore the use of carbon footprints for Korean kiwifruit from Gyeongnam region as a case study. In Korea, the Korean Environmental Industry and Technology Institute (KEITI) is responsible for the carbon footprint labeling certification, and has two types of certification programs: one program focuses on climate change response (carbon footprint labeling analysis) and the other on low-carbon products (reduction of carbon footprints analysis). Currently agricultural products have not yet been included in the program. Carbon labeling could soon be a prerequisite for the international trading of agricultural products. In general the carbon footprints of various agricultural products from New Zealand followed the methodology described in the ISO standards and conformed to the PAS 2050. The carbon footprint assessment focuses on a supply chain, and considers the foreground and the background systems. The basic scheme consists of four phases, which are the 'goal', 'scope', 'inventory analysis', and 'interpretation' phases. In the case of the carbon footprint of New Zealand kiwifruit the study tried to understand each phase's contribution to total GHG emissions. According to the results, shipping, orchard, and coolstore operation are the main life cycle stages that contribute to the carbon footprint of the kiwifruit supply chain stretching from the orchard in New Zealand to the consumer in the UK. The carbon emission of long-distance transportation such as shipping can be a hot-spot of GHG emissions, but can be balanced out by minimizing the carbon footprint of other life cycle phases. For this reason it is important that orchard and coolstore operations reduce the GHG-intensive inputs such as fuel or electricity to minimize GHG emissions and consequently facilitate the industry to compete in international markets. The carbon footprint labeling guided by international standards should be introduced for fruit products in Korea as soon as possible. The already established LCA methodology of NZ kiwifruit can be applied for fruit products as a case study.

Global warming has increased interest in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. And a policy has effort to reduce energy consumption as a greenhouse gas reduction plan. In Korea, 25% of total energy is consumed in the building sector. In order to reduce energy consumption of buildings, it is possible to expand the utilization of wood as a structural material or thermal insulation materials with low thermal conductivity. It is also reported that when used as an interior finishing material, the energy consumption of the building is reduced by up to 7% by insulation performance. In this study, the heat transfer characteristics and the heat capacity were compared according to the three type of finishing materials(cement, paulownia coreana, medium density fiberboard) normally used as indoor finish materials. Through this study, most of the heat transfer volumes are transferred in the form of radiant heat, and the result was derived from the highest amount of energy and heat transfer in the use of paulownia coreana. When indoor finishing materials are used as wood, it is deemed that energy efficiency inside the building will be improved.

Global warming has begun since the industrial revolution and it is getting worse recently. Even though the increase of greenhouse gases such as $CO_2$is thought to be the main cause for glogal warming, its impact on global climate has not been revealed clearly in rather quantitative manners. The objective of this research is to predict the hydrological environment changes in the Daechung Dam basin due to the global warming. A mesoscale atmospheric/hydrologic model (IRSHAM96 model) is used to predict the possible changes in precipitation and temperature in the Daechun Dam basin. The simulation results of IRSHAM96 model and a conceptual water balance model are used to analyze the changes in soil moisture, evapotranspiration and runoff in the Daechung Dam basin. From the simulation results using the water balance model for 1x$CO_2$and 2x$CO_2$situations, it has been found that the runoff would be decreased in dry season, but increased in wet season due to the global warming. Therefore, it is predicted that the frequency of drought and flood occurrences in the Daechung Dam basin would be increased in 2x$CO_2$condition.

As negative effects of climate change have been visualized and its direct damages to economy have been realized, the global efforts to respond to climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emission were accelerated. Korea's Carbon Footprint Labeling gets a lot of attention as one of the effective methods to contribute to national GHG reduction goal, and for enterprises to show customers how much effort the company put into global warming prevention. Consumers' interest on low-carbon products has been increasing. This study uses Life Cycle Assessment method to calculate the amount of carbon emission of dishwashing detergent, LG Household & Healthcare, which reduced carbon emissions by using raw materials that has relatively lower environment load. Life Cycle Assessment Method is based on guidelines of Carbon Footprint Labeling, Ministry of Environment, and pre-manufacturing, manufacturing, and disposal phase are included while use phase of the product is excluded from assessment. In order to understand the effects of eco-design on carbon emissions, the dishwashing detergent's carbon emissions are compared before and after the change of main raw materials. The result shows the improvement from $0.47kgCO_2eq/kg$ to $0.38kgCO_2eq/kg$ per product, and this means the main raw materials' carbon emissions could be reduced by around 9.4%, which is equivalent to 916tons of GHG emissions per year.
