For each local town (6 cities and 8 counties) affiliated with Jeonbuk provincial government, characteristics of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were analyzed and key emission areas were drawn to establish mitigation policies of the regional greenhouse gases. National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER) reported that the total greenhouse gas emission of Jeonbuk was 20.93 million $tCO_2e$ in 2006. The inland area of 5 cities and 1 county (Jeonju, Gunsan, Iksan, Jungeup, Kimje, Wanju) covered 82% of total greenhouse gas emission in Jeonbuk, while the rest local towns of the province, mostly from mountainous areas were responsible for the rest of the total GHG emission. The cities and counties having relatively higher emission in Jeonbuk province were influenced dominantly by the emission from energy and waste sections. Also, agricultural section showed similar tendency except industrial cities such as Gunsan and Jeonju. In the internal portion of city and county, energy section showed the highest portion at the range of 72.1 (Sunchang)~97.0% (Jeonju) and agricultural section was at the range of 1.2% (Jeonju)~26.6 (Sunchang). When the portion of energy section was higher, the lower agricultural section. The emission index was applied to decide the key city and county and the potential city and county with two methodologies in this study. It was required that the key emission areas were drawn to establish regional greenhouse gases mitigation policies.

The cement industry is one of the energy intensive industries such as petrochemical and steel industry. The energy efficiency of cement industry is high comparing to oversea's cement industries due to the enforcement of energy conservation policies. The purpose of this study is estimate emission factors for greenhouse gas ($CO_{2}$) in cement industry. The results of field study, quicklime contained quantity of five factories were $0.64{\sim}0.65$. Measurement emission (15,382 ton/day) is 40% higher than process emission (8,929 ton/day) on the IPCC Guidelines (1996). Add to combustion emission on the lines of IPCC Guidelines (1996) is similar to the emission of this study. The emission factor of greenhouse gas ($CO_{2}$) were as follows the emission factor between $9.01E-01{\sim}2.15E-01\;ton/ton$ for $CO_{2}$. The result of this study is higher than emission factor of IPCC (0.51) but it is similar to U.S. EPA's (0.952).

A closed flux chamber system was used for measuring major greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from tideland and/or wetland soils in estuarine area at Saemankum, Kunsan in southwestern Korea during from months of February to June 2006. Hourly averaged GHG soil emissions were measured two to three times a day during the ebb tide hours only. Site soils were analyzed for soil parameters (temperature, pH, total organic contents, N and C contents in soil) in the laboratory. Soil GHG fluxes were calculated based on the GHG concentration rate of change measured inside a closed chamber The analysis of GHG was conducted by using a Gas Chromatography (equipped with ECD/FID) at laboratory. Changes of daily, monthly GHGs' fluxes were examined. The relationships between the GHG emissions and soil chemical contents were also scrutinized with respect to gas production and consumption mechanism in the soil. Soil pH was pH $7.47{\pm}0.49$ in average over the experimental period. Organic matter contents in sample soil was $6.64{\pm}4.98\;g/kg$, and it shows relatively lower contents than those in agricultural soils in Kunsan area. Resulting from the soil chemistry data, soil nitrogen contents seem to affect GHG emission from the tidal land surface. The tidal soil was found to be either source or sink for the major GHG during the experimental periods. The annual average of $CH_{4}\;and\;CO_{2}$ fluxes were $0.13{\pm}0.86\;mg\;m^{-2}h^{-1}\;and\;5.83{\pm}138.73\;mg\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$, respectively, which will be as a source of these gases. However, $N_{2}O$ emission showed in negative flux, and the value was $-0.02{\pm}0.66\;mg\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$, and it implies tidal land surface act as a sink of $N_{2}O$. Over the experimental period, the absolute values of gas fluxes increased with soil temperature in general. Averages of the ambient gas concentration were $86.8{\pm}6.\;ppm$ in $CO_{2},\;1.63{\pm}0.34\;ppm\;in\;CH_{4},\;and\;0.59{\pm}0.15\;ppm\;in\;N_{2}O$, respectively. Generally, under the presence of gas emission from agricultural soils, decrease of gas emission will be observed as increase in ambient gas concentration. We, however, could not found significant correlation between the ambient concentrations and their emissions over the experimental period. There was no GHG compensation points existed in tide flat soil.

우리나라 정부는 국가 온실가스 감축 목표를 설정하고, 부문별, 업종별 온실가스 감축 대책을 추진하고 있으며, 이에 맞추어 경기도 등 광역시 도와 기초지자체들도 지역 특성에 적합한 기후변화대응 대책을 수립 추진하고 있다. 하지만 지자체의 경우 저감목표 수립을 위한 정책 단위별 온실가스 배출현황 및 장래 배출량 전망치가 명확하지 않아 많은 어려움이 있다. 올바른 기후변화 적응정책을 수립하기 위해서는 정책적 방향과 검증된 온실가스 발생량 평가가 바탕이 되어야 하고, 국가 차원의 기후변화 영향 및 취약성 평가와 함께 지역의 특성과 여건을 고려한 방법론을 개발할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구는 기초지자체인 경기도 시흥시를 대상으로 국립환경과학원에서 지자체에서 쉽게 BAU(Business As Usual) 배출량을 산출할 수 있도록 제작한 GEBT(Greenhouse gas Emission Business as usual Tool) 모형을 사용하여 시흥시의 온실가스 발생량을 산정하였다.

Natural gas is considered to be a promising alternative fuel for passenger cars, truck transportation and stationary engines providing positive effects both on the environment and energy security. However, since the composition of natural gas fuel varies with location, climate and other factors, it is anticipated that such changes in fuel properties will affect emission characteristics and performance of CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) engines. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effects of the difference in gas composition on the engine performance and emission characteristics. The results show that THC (Total Hydrocarbon) decreases with increasing Wl (Wobbe Index) and MCP (Maximum Combustion Potential). On the other hand, it is observed that NOx slightly increases as Wl and MCP increase. The TLHV (Total Lower Heating Value of Intake) is proposed in this study as a potential index for compatibility of gas fuels in a CNG engine. There is a variation in power up to 20% depending on the composition of gas when the A/F ratio and spark timing are flexed for a specific gas fuel.

This study uses neon, xenon, and helium gas mixture microdischarge to determine the effects of priming particles on the neon emission characteristics in an alternate current plasma display panel (AC PDP). The infrared (823 nm) and neon emission (585 nm) intensities are measured and compared in the blue cells in the case of new discharge with priming particles or conventional discharge without priming particles, respectively. It is found that the priming particles can produce a plasma discharge effectively even under the weak electric field condition, thereby resulting in reducing the neon emission intensity remarkably without sacrificing the IR emission intensity. As a result, it is found that the Ne emission intensity is reduced by about 46.4 % but the blue visible emission intensity is increased by about 15.2 % when compared with the conventional discharge without priming particles.

UEGI (Unburned Exhaust Gas Ignition) is an alternative method for fast light-off of a catalyst. It ignites the unburned exhaust mixture using two glow plugs installed in the upstream of the close-coupled catalysts. In addition, a hydrocarbon adsorber was applied to the UEGI, for more effective reduction of HC emission. Engine bench tests show that the CCC reaches the light-off temperature laster than the baseline exhaust system and HC and CO emissions are reduced significantly during the cold start. From the vehicle test, it was observed that a few amount of HC emission was reduced even the catalysts were aged. It is expected to develop a solution kit applicable to a new vehicle or used one, to meet the emission regulation

This study is to examine the emission quantity of $CO_2$ gas as the environmental load in office buildings. After the investigation of monthly consumption of each energy source(electricity and natural gas), it is analyzed that the $CO_2$ emission quantity of 34 office buildings surveyed is 22.4 kg-c/$m^2$-year, which consists of 17.5 kg-c/$m^2$-year by consurunlelectncif. and 4.9 kg-c/$m^2$-year by consuming natural gas. And the $CO_2$ emission quantity of each load in those buildings consists of 68% emitted by general electricity, 16% by cooling load and 16% by beating load. It is also proposed that the $CO_2$ emission quantity of cooling and heating load is profoundly pertinent to the variation of outdoor temperature.
