The cofiring of renewable fuel in coal fired boilers is an attractive option to mitigate $CO_2$ emissions, since it is relatively low cost option for efficiently converting renewable fuel to electricity by adding biomass as partial substitute of coal. However, it would lead to reduce plant efficiency and flexibility in operation, and increase operation cost and capital cost associated with renewable fuels handling and firing equipment. The aim of this study is to investigate reduction of carbon dioxide at varying percentage of biomass in fuel blend to the boiler biomass, and estimate operation and capital cost. Wood pellet, PKS (palm kernel shell), EFB (empty fruit bunch) and sludge are considered as a renewable fuels for a cofiring with coal. Several approaches by the cofiring ratio are chosen from past plant demonstrations and commercial cofiring operation, and they are evaluated and discussed for CO2 reduction and cost estimation.

바이오매스 혼소는 신재생 에너지의 비중을 늘리면서 석탄화력발전에서의 $CO_2$ 배출을 저감할 수 있는 단중기적으로 가장 효과적인 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 이 중 기존 화력발전소에 가장 적은 초기투자비로 적용할 수 있는 직접 혼소법에 대하여 주로 고찰을 수행하고, 국내외 현황 및 전망에 대해 기술하였다. 직접 혼소법은 바이오매스 전용 미분기를 사용하여 혼소율을 늘리는 방법과 저 혼소율에서 초기투자비를 최소화하는 기존 석탄 미분기 사용 바이오매스 혼소법으로 나눌 수 있다. 유럽 및 미국에서는 혼소율을 높이기 위해 많은 상용발전소에서 바이오매스 전용 미분기를 사용하여 10~20% 가량의 혼소율(열량 기준)로 운전을 수행하고 있으나, 국내의 경우에는 RPS 대응을 위해 3~5% 가량의 혼소율에서 기존 석탄 미분기를 그대로 사용하여 바이오매스 혼소를 수행하고 있다. 신기후체제가 시작되고 석탄화력발전에서의 $CO_2$ 저감 요구가 점점 더 증대될 것으로 예상되는 바, 향후 바이오매스 고혼소율이 수행될 수 있는 기술적/저책적 방안이 모색되어야 하며, 이 경우 발생할 수 있는 설비에의 악영향을 면밀히 고려한 연료 표준화 및 전처리 기술이 개발되어야 한다.

Root hair development has the potential to increase crop yields and at the same time to decrease fertilizer use, which will be required in the next 30 years to meet the demand for crop-derived commodities in a world with decreasing available natural resources. Root hair defective six (RHD6) encoding a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, is associated with root hair differentiation, and its roles are root hair initiation and elongation. Grass plants, rice and Brachypodium have been used as model plants to study the gene function of the root hair defective six like (RSL) subfamily which is orthologous to AtRHD6. The RSL subfamily has an identical gene function with AtRHD6 which is involved with root hair differentiation as well. Plants with longer root hairs within a species should have an improved Pi uptake efficiency; therefore, we would expect that a plant with a high Pi uptake could contribute to increasing the plant yield. We achieved increased root hair length by manipulating the RSL subfamily genes. It is expected that in these transgenic plants, the long root hairs would be sufficient to improve the Pi uptake and hence improve biomass and yield component (tiller, spikelet number, and spikelet weight) of the plant. Here, we demonstrate that Brachypodium transgenic plants overexpressing the BdRSL subfamily genes have an improved biomass and grain yield. The result of this study could be applied to important crop plants like rice.

TREGRO, a computer simulation model of individual tree growth, was applied to estimate ozone ($\textrm{O}_3$) effects on aspen(Populus tremuloides) growth under ambient and 1.7 times ambient $\textrm{O}_3$ of Seoul in 1996. The three highest $\textrm{O}_3$ (Kuui-dong, Ssangmun-dong, Sungsoo-dong) and the two lowest $\textrm{O}_3$ sites (Mapo-dong, Namgajwa-dong) were evaluated. The current ambient $\textrm{O}_3$ did not affect aspen growth compared to simulation without $\textrm{O}_3$. The only effect was 6.6 percent of total assimilated carbonloss at Ssangmun-dong where the level of $\textrm{O}_3$ was greatest among the 21 sites examined. Decrease as much as 50 percent of total carbon gain was calculated at 1.7 times ambient $\textrm{O}_3$ of the three highest sites. The carbon loss by $\textrm{O}_3$ came from biomass of tissues and total nonstructural cabron (TNC) such as starch and sugar. The most sensitive fraction was TNC and the next was root biomass. Foliage mass was not affected by $\textrm{O}_3$. Structural biomass loss was at best 1 to 3 percent at 1.7 times ambient $\textrm{O}_3$ at the two lowest sites. The daily carbon simulation was affected by $\textrm{O}_3$ mainly during Growth Period 4 (Jul. 21-Oct. 26). Correlations between site, dose, and the simulated responses of aspen (tissue biomass, TNC, respiration, and senescence) ranged from -0.703 to -0.973 depending on the plant responses. The ozone effects on poplar in Seoul are not severe currently, but are probably measurable at Ssangmun-dong. However, severe $\textrm{O}_3$ effects on biomass would occur if $\textrm{O}_3$ levels increase to 1.7 times ambient $\textrm{O}_3$ in Seoul. In addition, v could weaken the trees thus increasing susceptibility to pathogens or insects.

This study is intended to clarify the effects of heated effluents on intertidal benthic marine algal community in Korea. The species composition and biomass of marine algae at the discharge canal of Gori nuclear power plant on the southeastern coast of Korea were investigated seasonally from February 2001 to October 2006. As a result, 54 species (7 blue-green, 12 green, 9 brown and 26 red algae) of marine algae were found at the discharge canal during the past six years. In general, the number of species observed was abundant during winter to spring and less in autumn. Enteromorpha compressa, E. intestinalis, E. prolifera and Caulacanthus ustulatus were common species found more than 80% frequency during the study period. Seasonal fluctuations of mean biomass were 1-440 g dry wt m–2 and dominant species in biomass were Enteromorpha spp. (contribution to a total biomass proportion 28%), Sargassum horneri (14%) and Amphiroa beauvoisii (14%). It is evident from the floristic composition and biomass data that unique micro-environment of the discharge canal support different communities from those on the intake or control area. Results from the large numbers of surveys before and during plant operation showed that, in the regions influenced by thermal effluents such as the discharge canal of power plants, the process of ecological succession has been proceeded. It is assumed that the uni-directional water flow and the time of overhaul largely affect the development and succession of benthic marine algal communities of the discharge canal.

신재생에너지 발전 비중 확대가 예상됨에 따라 공공 발전사업자들은 바이오매스 혼소의 확대 시행을 적극적으로 검토해야 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 500MW 석탄화력에서 바이오매스 혼소율을 0wt.%에서 5.0wt.%까지 변화하며 미분기 주요 운전 특성을 측정하였다. 먼저, 목질계 바이오매스에 대한 구성성분 분석과 분쇄 특성을 알아보았고, 혼합연료의 부피 증가가 미분기 보울 압력 차이, 모터 전류, 이물질 처리횟수, 출구 온도, 내부 화재횟수에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 혼소율 증가에 따라 미분기 보울 압력 차이와 모터 전류, 이물질 처리횟수는 상승함을 확인하였고, 출구 온도는 상승 폭이 미미하였다. 내부 화재횟수는 명확한 상관관계를 찾기 힘드나, 다른 운전인자와 결합하여 발생할 가능성이 크다는 것을 확인하였다.

The differential response of soybean cultivars with or without sulfur (S) application was observed under fold conditions. Plant biomass decreased by sulfur deficiency but the reduction was less in Bragg variety about 26 % relative to the control than other ones over 45%, probably due to less reduction in loaves and pods. The photosynthetic rate of Bragg cultivar was also unaffected by the absence of sulfur application while it depressed in other lines. Soybean cultivars were compared in terms of storage protein, protein quality and biomass production by application of sulfur nutrition. The storage protein concentration tended to decrease without sulfur application in all the cultivars, however the differential response of protein quality only by 11S/7S ratio to sulfur nutrition status was observed: For instance, Bragg cultivar had higher biomass and protein production but protein quality decreased at sulfur deficiency. On the other hand, biomass and protein production in other cultivars remained louver at sulfur deficiency but protein quality differed genetically in spite of sulfur nutrition status. These results suggest that the response of soybean to sulfur nutrition is controlled by genotypic difference and sulfur supply status.

산림생태계에서 대기로의 토양의 이동은 토양 호흡이라는 과정을 통해 이루어진다. 본 연구에서는 임령이 다른 잣나무림을 대상으로 생육기 동안의 토양 호흡값과 토양 내 뿌리의 양, 미생물 개체군 생물량을 측정하여, 토양호흡량이 임령에 따라 어떻게 다르며, 뿌리와 미생물 개체군이 얼마나 기여할 것인지 알아보고자 하였다. 토양 온도와 토양 호흡은 임령과는 상관없이 유사한 패턴을 보여 7월까지는 증가하고 이후 감소하였다. 산림의 임령이 높을수록 토양 호흡량이 대체적으로 높았다. 토양 내 뿌리와 미생물을 조사한 결과, 임령이 높을수록 토양 내 존재하는 지름 2 mm 이하인 세근의 양이 많았으며 토양 미생물 개체군의 생물량이 많았다. 토양에서 뿌리를 제거하였을 때 70년 숲은 변화가 없었으나, 40년 숲에서는 토양 호흡값이 감소하였다. 본 연구결과로 볼 때, 산림의 연령이 높아질수록 토양 호흡량이 커지며, 식물 뿌리와 특히 토양 미생물이 토양 호흡값에 많은 기여를 하고 있는 것으로 생각해 볼 수 있다.

Seasonal changes in pool size, inflow rates in biomass and phosphorus, and the efficiency of phosphorus use in the stand of three populations (Helianthus tuberosus, Artemisia princeps and Phalaris arundinacea) in the basin of the Mt. Geumoh were investigated. During the early growing period, in the three species populations the relative size of the phosphorus pool of population was larger then that of its biomass pool, but that of the phosphorus pool of belowground part decreased more rapidly than that of its biomass pool. In the A. princeps and P. arundinacea populations, the phosphorus inflow rate was markedly high during the soil thaw in early spring and its seasonal change pattern was different from that of the biomass production rate, showing two peaks in March and June. But in the H. tuberosus population, the two seasonal change patterns were alike. The annual biomass production was 2283 gDM m-2 in the H. tuberosus, 1884 m-2 in the A. princeps and 1879 gDM m-2 in the P. arundinacea population, and the annual phosphorus inflow was 11.35, 9.63 and 7.60 gP m-2, respectively. The P. arundinacea population showed the smallest LAI peak(5.4 in early June), and the largest NAR peak (36.9 gDM m-2wk-1) RGR peak (0.15g g-1 wk-1) among the three species populations. The seasonal change patterns in whole plant EPU of the three species populations showed the bell shape, but the annual EPU values among them were markedly different. It was noticed that the population with the highest RGR showed the highest EPU among the three species populations while the population with the lowest RGR showed the lowest EPU among them.

상승 온도와 상승 $CO_2$ 농도 처리가 무의 생장량, C/N율, 그리고 식품 일반 영양성분에 미치는 효과를 검토한 결과, 대기 온도보다 $2{\sim}2.5^{\circ}C$ 범위의 온도 상승은 무의 건물생산을 26~39% 범위의 감소를 가져오며, 대기 $CO_2$ 농도가 220~230ppm 상승함에 따라서 건물생산의 감소가 9~15% 범위로 어느 정도 줄어들지만, 온도 상승에 의한 감소 효과를 극복하지 못했다. 온도 상승은 무의 T/R율을 봄에는 86%, 가을에는 60% 증가시켰으며, C/N율을 낮추고, 조단백질, 조지방, 그리고 회분의 함량을 높이는 결과를 나타내었다. 반면에 상승 $CO_2$ 처리는 C/N율은 높이고 조단백질, 조섬유, 그리고 회분의 함량을 저하시키는 결과를 나타내었다. 따라서 앞으로 온도 상승과 $CO_2$ 농도 상승 정도에 따라 무의 건물생산, T/R율, C/N율, 그리고 일반 영양성분에 상당한 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다.
