This paper proposes establishment of generator maintenance scheduling(GMS) considering minimization of $CO_2$ emissions. The objective function model to minimize $CO_2$ emissions is used in this paper. In this paper, and also, GMS is established due to freedom of GMS of generators owned by a designated generation company. The practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approach are demonstrated by simulation studies for a real size power system model in Korea in 2010.

G8 summit meeting held in July 2008 decided to set up a long-term goal, by 2050, reducing the world greenhouse emissions by half of those emitted in 1990. In November 2009, the Government announced to reduce the national $CO_2$ emission by 30[%] of BAU by 2020. Electric power industries in Korea produce most of their electricity by burning fossil fuels, and emit approximately 28[%] of national $CO_2$ emissions. Monitoring the $CO_2$ emissions. Monitoring the $CO_2$ emission of electric power plants is very important. This paper presents a method to calculate the hourly $CO_2$ emission for a thermal power plant burning mixture of coal and oil using the performance test data and coal-oil mix rate. An example of $CO_2$ emission calculation is also demonstrated.

This study aims to analyze region-specific trends in changing greenhouse gas emissions in incineration plants of local government where waste heat generated during incineration are reused for the recent five years (2009 to 2013). The greenhouse gas generated from the incineration plants is largely $CO_2$ with a small amount of $CH_4$ and $N_2O$. Most of the incineration plants operated by local government produce steam with waste heat generated from incineration to produce electricity or reuse it for hot water/heating and resident convenience. And steam in some industrial complexes is supplied to companies who require it for obtaining resources for local government or incineration plants. All incineration plants, research targets of this study, are using LNG or diesel fuel as auxiliary fuel for incinerating wastes and some of the facilities are using LFG(Landfill Gas). The calculation of greenhouse gas generated during waste incineration was according to the Local Government's Greenhouse Emissions Calculation Guideline. As a result of calculation, the total amount of greenhouse gas released from all incineration plants for five years was about $3,174,000tCO_2eq$. To look at it by year, the biggest amount was about $877,000tCO_2eq$ in 2013. To look at it by region, Gyeonggido showed the biggest amount (about $163,000tCO_2eq$ annually) and the greenhouse gas emissions per capita was the highest in Ulsan Metropolitan City(about $154kCO_2eq$ annually). As a result of greenhouse gas emissions calculation, some incineration plants showed more emissions by heat recovery than by incineration, which rather reduced the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions. For more accurate calculation of greenhouse gas emissions in the future, input data management system needs to be improved.

최근 환경오염 문제에 대한 심각성이 대두되며 전 세계적으로 환경부하 저감을 위해 다양한 노력을 쏟고 있다. 특히 환경 저해 산업의 하나인 건설분야에서는 $CO_2$배출량과 에너지 소비량을 줄이기 위해 활발한 연구를 진행해 왔다. 그러나 건설분야의 기존 연구들은 대부분 $CO_2$배출량이 가장 큰 사용 및 유지관리 단계에만 집중하고 있으며, 설계단계에 대한 연구는 2D의 철근콘크리트 부재 및 구조물에 대해서만 실행되었을 정도로 초기단계이다. 사실, LCA적 관점에서 친환경적 건설산업을 이루기 위해서는 건물의 초기설계 단계에서부터 $CO_2$배출량을 저감시키기 위한 방향으로 설계를 유도할 수 있어야 하며, 구조 엔지니어로서 환경성을 고려한 설계안을 제시할 수 있어야 한다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 매입형 합성기둥(SRC)을 대상으로 $CO_2$최적화 기법을 제시하였으며, 이를 통해 얻은 여러 설계단면을 이용하여 SRC기둥의 $CO_2$배출량에 영향을 미치는 3가지 요소((1) 강재 크기, (2) 콘크리트 압축강도, (3) 작용 하중 크기)에 대한 영향관계를 분석하였다.

대한민국에서 수송으로 인해 발생하는 이산화탄소(CO₂) 배출량은 전체의 16.5%이며, 이중 도로교통 부문이 96.5%를 차지한다. 따라서 도로교통 부문에서 발생하는 CO₂ 배출량을 줄이기 위한 노력이 계속되고 있다. 최근 스마트 교차로의 확대에 따라 교차로를 통과하는 개별차량에 대한 모니터링 기회가 점차 늘어나고 있으며, 장래 자율주행차 보급 확산에 따라 개별차량주행 자료 수집 가능성 또한 커지고 있다. 이에 맞춰 강남구 소재 5개 교차로에 설치된 영상검지기를 통해 얻은 차량의 차종, 교통량, 속도, 가속도와 같은 실제 데이터를 활용해 신호교차로에 접근하는 차량에 대한 CO₂ 배출 현황 조사를 실시했다. 이렇게 수집된 데이터를 초당 데이터를 분석하도록 개량된 MOVES-Matrix 모형에 대입해 2개 대형교차로와 3개 소형교차로에서 하루 동안 발생하는 CO₂ 배출량은 평균 3.1톤임을 확인했다. 본 연구는 실제 개별차량 데이터와 개량된 모형을 활용한 CO₂ 배출량 분석의 새로운 가능성을 보여주는 한편, CO₂ 배출량을 보다 더 정확히 조사해야 하는 필요성을 제시한다.

Recently environmental regulations like the Kyoto Protocol, adopted in 1997, required the reduction of the greenhouse gas of 5.2% up to 1990's emissions and 13th General Assembly in 2007, held in Bali of India, have agreed to duty reduction even in developing countries in 2013. Korean government needs research on climate change and greenhouse gas management, such as carbon emissions calculation system and the introduction of greenhouse gas reduction program. Using Top-Down approach with method of IPCC, greenhouse gas emissions from energy, transportation, agriculture, land use and forest, and waste was calculated. Total amount from Shiheung-City in 2007 was about 3,299.581 tons of greenhouse gas $CO_2$. By sectors, the total greenhouse gas emissions in the energy sector mostly accounted for 78 percent, 12 percent from transportation, 6 percent of waste, the landuse/forest sector, 4% of the greenhouse gas emissions. Approximately 5,401,618 tons of the greenhouse gas $CO_2$ was total amount from Ansan-City in 2007. The share of energy sector greenhouse gas emissions was the highest portion of 79 % and 14 percent of transportation, 4% from the waste sector, 3 % from landuse/forest sector.

The purpose of this study is to establish the assessment baseline of $CO_2$ emissions from building operations in the view of GHG reduction policy in Korea. The assessment baseline of $CO_2$ emissions shall be used in GHG policy and Carbon Credits in building sectors, but the assessment baseline has not been studied enough or established yet. Also, $CO_2$ emissions from building operations will be variable according to the building occupancy. Therefore the baseline will be different and this study aimed at the establishment of the assessment baseline for residential apartments and office buildings firstly. After reviews of BEER and international standards for building $CO_2$ emissions such as ISO and UNEP-SBCI documents, the analysis of BEER certification data has been pursued for 292 residential apartment complexes and 65 office buildings in South Korea during 2004~2012. As analysis results, the assessment baseline was set to 23.03 $kg{\cdot}CO_2/m^2{\cdot}yr$ or 1.95 $t{\cdot}CO_2/unit{\cdot}yr$ for residential apartment complexes, and 95.91 $kg{\cdot}CO_2/m^2{\cdot}yr$ for office buildings according to the BEER certification basis. Additional assessment baselines were calculated according to year basis, region basis, public and private basis, and GHG policy basis. Finally, the established baseline for residential apartment complexes has been applied for the pilot project in M district, Seoul, and showed 24.97% reduction rate according to the BEER certification basis.

Biomass burning is known to be one of the main sectors emitting greenhouse gases as well as air pollutants. Unfortunately, the inventory of biomass burning sector has not been established well. We estimated greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollution (AP) integrated emissions from biomass burning sector in Seoul during year 2010. The data of GHG and AP emissions from biomass burning, classified into open burning, residential fireplace and wood stove, meat cooking, fires, and cremation, were obtained from Statistics Korea and Seoul City. Estimation methodologies and emission factors were gathered from reports and published literatures. Estimated GHG and AP integrated emissions during year 2010 were $3,867tonCO_{2eq}$, and 2,320 tonAP, respectively. Major sources of GHG were forest fires ($1,533tonCO_{2eq}$) and waste open burning ($1,466tonCO_{2eq}$), while those of AP were meat cooking (1,240 tonAP) and fire incidence (907 tonAP). Total emissions by administrative district in Seoul, representing similar patterns in both GHG and AP, indicated that Seocho-gu and Gangseo-gu were the largest emitters whereas Jung-gu was the smallest emitter, ranged in $2{\sim}165tonCO_{2eq}$ and 0.1~8.31 tonAP. GHG emissions per $km^2$ showed different results from total emissions in that Gwanak-gu, Jungnang-gu, Gangdong-gu and Seodaemun-gu were the largest emitters, while Seocho-gu and Gangseo-gu were near-averaged emission districts, ranged in $0.2{\sim}21tonCO_{2eq}/km^2$. However, AP emissions per $km^2$ revealed relatively minor differences among districts, ranged in $2.3{\sim}6.1tonAP/km^2$.

This study uses data from 1970 to 2016 to analyze the effect of nuclear energy use on CO₂ emissions and attempts to validate the EKC hypothesis using the Fourier Autoregressive Distributive Lag model in India for the first time. Because of India's rapidly rising population, the environment is being severely strained. However, with 22 operational nuclear reactors, India boasts tremendous nuclear energy potential to cut down on CO₂ emissions. The EKC is validated in India as the significant coefficients of GDP and GDP.² The short-run estimates also suggest that most environmental externalities are corrected within a year. Given the findings, some policy recommendations abound. The negative statistically significant coefficient of nuclear energy consumption is an indication that nuclear power expansion is essential to achieving clean and sustainable growth as a policy goal. Also, policymakers should enact new environmental laws that support the expansion and responsible use of nuclear energy as it is cleaner than fossil fuels and reduces the cost and over-dependence on oil, which ultimately leads to higher economic growth in the long run. Future research should consider studying the nonlinearities in the nuclear energy-CO₂ emissions nexus as the current study is examined in the linear sense.
