For the HCNG bus using fuel which is the mixture gas of hydrogen and natural gas, the fuel efficiency and $CO_2$ emission characteristics were analyzed based on the WHVC test results and compared with that of the CNG and diesel buses. $CO_2$ emission characteristics were also analyzed by contribution effects such as carbon emission factor and fuel consumption. As a result, the fuel economy of HCNG bus was evaluated to be 11.5% improvement compared to CNG bus, and it was also showed equivalent to diesel bus. In addition, the $CO_2$ emission of HCNG bus was reduced 20.4% and 34.5% compared to CNG bus and diesel bus respectively. It was concluded that the $CO_2$ emission characteristics were influenced by the carbon emission factor depending on fuel composition and the fuel consumption according to the engine performance.

본 논문은 건설산업의 신뢰성 있는 온실가스 추정을 위해 건설단계에서 사용되는 장비, 자재 및 에너지 사용량에 따른 온실가스 배출량 추정방법론을 고찰하였다. 그리고 온실가스 배출량 추정모델인 Road Construction Emission Model과 시설물탄소배출량 산정 프로그램을 비교분석하였다. 건설장비만을 고려한 배출량 추정은 사용장비의 각종 특성에 따라 차이가 발생할 수 있고, 자재 및 에너지사용에 따른 배출량 추정은 장비의 사용이 대부분을 차지하는 토목공사에서 배제한 단점이 있다. 따라서, 건설산업의 온실가스배출량 측정은 장비의 사용 또는 자재 및 에너지사용에 따른 포괄적인 온실가스 배출량 추정과 이를 위한 기반확충이 이루어져야 한다.

This study organized data from 2000 to 2014 for 20 grid-connected countries in Europe and analyzed the determinants of carbon emissions through the panel GLS method considering the problem of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation. At the same time, the effect of introducing ETS was considered by dividing the sample period as of 2005 when the European emission trading system was introduced. Carbon emissions from individual countries were used as dependent variables, and proportion of generation by each source, power self-sufficiency ratio of neighboring countries, power production from resource-holding countries, concentration of power sources, total energy consumption per capita in the industrial sector, tax of electricity, net electricity export per capita, and size of national territory per capita. According to the estimation results, the proportion of nuclear power and renewable energy generation, concentration of power sources, and size of the national territory area per capita had a negative (-) effect on carbon emissions both before and after 2005. On the other hand, the proportion of coal power generation, the power supply and demand rate of neighboring countries, the power production of resource-holding countries, and the total energy consumption per capita in the industrial sector were found to have a positive (+) effect on carbon emissions. In addition, the proportion of gas generation had a negative (-) effect on carbon emissions, and tax of electricity were found to have a positive (+) effect. However, all of these were only significant before 2005. It was found that net electricity export per capita had a negative (-) effect on carbon emissions only after 2005. The results of this study suggest macroscopic strategies to reduce carbon emissions to green growth, suggesting mid- to long-term power mix optimization measures considering the electricity trade market and their role.

The phenomenon of climate change is deteriorating which increased heatwaves, typhoons and heavy snowfalls in recent years. Followed by the 25^th United nations framework convention on climate change(COP25), the world countries have achieved a consensus on achieving carbon neutrality. City plays a crucial role in achieving carbon mitigation as well as economic development. Considering economic and environmental factors, we selected 63 cities in South Korea to analyze carbon emission situation by Elbow method and K-means clustering algorithm. The results reflected that cities in South Korea can be categorized into 6 clusters, which are technology-intensive cities, light-manufacturing intensive cities, central-innovation intensive cities, heavy-manufacturing intensive cities, service-intensive cities, rural and household-intensive cities. Specific suggestions are provided to improve city-level carbon mitigation development.

Hydrogen is emerging as an essential material for carbon neutrality. In particular, Korea needs 22.9 million tons of imported clean hydrogen by 2050 to achieve carbon neutrality. However, a large amount of carbon is emitted during the import process, and market regulations are being discussed. This research estimates the carbon emissions of importing green hydrogen from Vietnam, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates to Korea, and calculates imported green hydrogen prices under carbon emission market regulations.

1999년도 전국의 대기오염물질 배출량은 371만톤으로 이 중 자동차 배출가스가 약42%를 차지하고 있다. 특히 서울등의 대도시의 경우 자동차공해 비중이 약80%를 넘어서기도 하여, 시민 건강에 대한 우려의 목소리가 높다. 자동차 배출 오염물질은 휘발유, 가스연료를 사용할 경우에는 일산화탄소(CO), 탄화수소(HC), 질소산화물(NOx) 및 미량의 황산화물이 주로 발생되며, 경유를 사용하는 경우에는 추가적인 PM이 배출된다. (중략)

A cap-and-trade program accounting for 60 percent of total national greenhouse gas emissions was launched in South Korea in 2015. Academic literature expects that the implementation of such a policy is likely to adversely impact income distribution among various socioeconomic groups in developed countries. South Korea is challenged by equity issues, as well circumstances, the distributional implications of carbon pricing policies need to be examined and reflected in the design of the program prior to implementation in order not to exacerbate social inequity. Using environmentally extended input-output analysis together with household expenditure data, this study finds that a carbon pricing policy will be regressive in South Korea, but the extent depends on whether relative burdens of a carbon pricing policy are measured based on current incomes or proxies of permanent incomes. Along with poor households, this paper finds that elderly and urban households will be more adversely impacted in South Korea. These burdens can be relieved if a small fraction of the revenue is redistributed to households.

The objective of this study can be presented as follows: First, given the consumption-based carbon accounting method which has now been claimed, this study reviews the emissions within Korea and the resulting position change in international society. Second, when each nation makes efforts to reduce carbon emissions under the Copenhagen Accord, this study, using the Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model, reviews the resulting carbon leakage and analyzes the effect from the various border adjustment measures. However, reflecting uncertainties in the negotiation processes, this study attempts to apply scenarios with regards to the reduction-mandatory nation group. In addition, this study tries to observe the impact on Korea through testing the various border adjustment measures, including the free allocation and embodied carbon tariffs.

The purpose of this study was to develop land use planning methods for carbon reduction of transportation and verify the effectiveness. Therefore, this study derived carbon reduction design elements, such as high-density suburb, mixed-use development, pedestrian network and community corridor, which can be applied in the land-use planning stage by examining previous research. The carbon reduction design elements utilized the actual site during the research process. The carbon reductions were estimated using VISUM. Consequently, when carbon reduction design is applied to the site, the carbon emissions declined in the year. As a result of estimating the carbon reduction, approximately 450.7tCO2/yr was reduced.

이산화탄소의 대기 중 배출규제에 대한 논의가 지구적으로 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄소세의 도입이 우리나라의 전력부문에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 전력수요와 공급을 연계하는 계량경제학적 "시뮬레이션"모형을 수립하였다. 모형의 운용 결과, 탄소세의 부과는 특히 전력가격 상승에 큰 효과를 주고 있는 반면 전력수요의 변화에는 비교적 적은 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 외생적 시나리오 설정에 의하여 탄소세 부과시 연료원 간의 대체효과를 분석하였는데 원자력이 화석연료를 대체하는 시나리오는 전력가격의 안정화에 약간의 도움을 주고 있으나 LNG가 유연탄 화력을 대체하는 시나리오는 전력가격의 변화에 거의 영향을 주지 않고 있다. 이러한 분석 결과는 발전 연료간의 대체를 고려한다고 하더라고 탄소세 충격의 완화에 미치는 효과는 미미하다는 것을 의미한다.
