To resolve the Global Warming problem, it have to reduce $CO_2$ emission. Korea need to do actively more the effort to reduce the emission because $CO_2$ emission per person is top level in the world. It is performing variously. However, we should recognize the $CO_2$ emission attribute to decrease $CO_2$. Analyzing $CO_2$ emission of the construction equipment is important in this aspect. Present, the most popular $CO_2$ emission measuring method is the way using fuel consumption and emission factor. But this method have the problem of reliability because can't reflect the factor being out of proportion at fuel consumption. This study analyzed the reason of difference and compared to the emission factor method after calculate $CO_2$ emission in direct measurement method.

It is expected that domestic railway vehicle operation companies may be subjected to GHG emission reduction when GHG emission system is enforced. This study aimed that reviewing on GHG emission system such as CDM, VCS and KCER, and analysing availability of GHG emission credit acquisition for railroad transportation sector. In order to estimate GHG emission credit, a GHG emission estimation methodology should be developed, which includes GHG emission baseline estimation and GHG emission monitoring method, MRV method and etc. Modal shift project, high speed train technology, straight lining project, mass transportation technology, operation optimization tehcnology and etc. may produce GHG emission credit.

As the $CO_2$ from buildings take up approximately 25% of the total $CO_2$ emission, the need for regulating and managing this emission is urgently required. Thus this study recognizes $CO_2$ emission status for diverse purposes and suggests accurate interpolation method for visualizing $CO_2$ emission as the basic data for regulating and managing $CO_2$ emission by applying IDW, Spline, and Kringing method. Results showed that Gaussian Function application among the Kriging methods had the highest accuracy in its estimations, with 3.049 with RMSE standards. This could be used as the basic data when visualizing $CO_2$ emission status, which is a necessity for many local and federal governments that are to regulate and manage $CO_2$ emission. This study shows that the interpolation is very appropriative method in recognizing $CO_2$ emission characteristics for regional climate change measures.

In Korea, various efforts to cope with the Post-Kyoto system have been recently performed because a duty for the GHG(Greenhouse Gas) reduction may be allocated from 2013. Especially, the role of railroad has been strengthened to decrease total GHG emission of transportation system. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the GHG emission and the reduction strategies of railroad. The purpose of this study was to develop the calculation method of GHG emission released from railroad. Main source of GHG emission was the energy consumption of railroad vehicle and infrastructure. Based on the emission factor and the equation reported in IPCC 2006 guideline, the total GHG emission of railroad was about 1.4 million tons CO2e in 2007. Using this calculation method, the GHG data of railroad can be calculated quantitatively and managed systematically in the future.

"The Framework Act on Low-Carbon Green Growth" specifies the requirements for the development and verification of emission factors for establishing reliable national greenhouse gas statistics. The scope of the regulations covers the development and validation of energy, industrial processes, solvents and other product use, agriculture, land use, land use change and emission and absorption coefficients of the forestry and waste sector as defined in the 1996 IPCC Guideline and GPG 2000, The minerals sector to be covered in this study belongs to industrial processes. As a representative method for quantifying and evaluating GHG emission factors, there are emission grade quality grading and DARS (Data Rating Rating System) in the 'Procedures for Preparing Emission Factor Documents (1997)' reported by US-EPA. However, the above two methods are not specific and comprehensive, and lack the details for accurate emission factor verification. Therefore, there is a need for a method for verifying and quantifying certified greenhouse gas emission factors that reflects characteristics of each industry sector in Korea and accord with IPCC G/L and GHG target management. In this study, we conducted a weighted study on quantitative and evaluation lists of emission factor using questionnaires to develop a more accurate methodology for quantifying national greenhouse gas emission factors in the mineral sector. Quantification and evaluation of emission factor are classified into essential verification and quality evaluation. The essential verifications are : administrative compatibility, method of determining emission factors, emission characteristics, sampling methods and analysis methods, representativeness of data. The quality evaluations consisted of the quality control of the data, the accuracy of the measurement and analysis, the level of uncertainty, not directly affect the emission factor, but consisted of factors that determine data quality.

$CO_2$ emission factor for earthwork equipment was made based on fuel consumption quantity using IPCC carbon emission factor. This is presented through the carbon emission estimating guideline each facilities by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation in 2011. However, this method has the defect which don't apply the various condition of site. Therefor it needs the new emission factor supplemented these defects. This study will tries to estimate $CO_2$ emission with the direct measurement method using concentration flow velocity measurement (C-FVM) for earth work equipment and present the new $CO_2$ emission factor for earth work equipment after compare with emission factor of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation.

Not only the emission regulation of on-road vehicle engine, but also emission regulation of off-road engine have been reinforced. It is the reason of wide application of emission reduction technology for off-road engines. In this study, optimization of engine parameters (Injector hole number, Injection timing and EGR rate) for reduction of NOx and smoke emissions were conducted by using the analysis of sensitivity and S/N ratio of Taguchi method(DOE). As results, this paper shows optimum value of the parameters for NOx and smoke emission reduction. From the result of reproducibility verification, it is final that the prediction value of NOx and smoke has the error of below 10%. Consequently, the method and results of this study will be used for quantitative reference to EGR control mapping in next study.

In odrder to survey the emission level of air pollutants from diesel vehicles, was measured CO, HC, NOx and smoke of 4 types of domestic-use diesel engines under various conditions. The emission of CO, HC and NOx tested by 6-Mode test method and smoke emission by full load test met the permissible vehicle emission standard. Pollutant emission rates of diesel engines were different according to engine operating conditions, that is, engine load and engine speed. Generally, CO and HC was emitted more at low load and NOx at high load but the trend was quite different by the type of engines. In exhaust gas, $NO_2$ portion of NOx emission was high, specially at low speed and low load. The correlation equation between CLD(NOx) and NDIR(NO) method of nitrogen of nitrogen oxides analysis was y = 1.10x - 3.48 (y: CLD method) as a result of 6-mode test.
