In Korea, the emission standards for air pollutants will be more tighten from Jan. 2005. Especially, the new emission standards is focused on the nitrogen oxide. From this trend of standards, nitrogen oxide emission is hot issue in energy fields. Also, we have a new environmental problem, the carbon dioxide emission, which are related to the global warming. To solve the environmental problems, we must define the situation of clean-up technologies level in Korea and decide the direction of R&D for flue gas cleaning technologies. Now, this paper discus briefly on the De-NOx R&D activities and the large scale testing facility for flue gas clean-up technologies in Korea Institute of Energy Research. These discussions are contribute to the increasing of the R&D activities for flue gas clean-up technologies in Korea.

Recently, the rise of the rail temperature is accelerating further due to the global warming, and the track stability(buckling) problem result from the axial force in the continuous welded rail(CWR) have become the most important issue. This track stability threatens the security of running trains in the hot summer. In order to prevent the track buckling in the hot summer and ensure the safety of the running train, as a part of the safety control plan for KORAIL high-speed railway, the train speed restriction according to the rail temperature was introduced in 2004. However, the conceptual and theoretical background of train-speed restriction is uncertain. In this paper, the theoretical study about the reasonable train-speed restriction is performed. For this purpose, the risk-based probabilistic stability evaluation of the track buckling is applied.

In modern society, the natural disaster damage is increasing by unusual weather conditions such as global warming. Many disaster victims in the disaster spot suffered from the heavy damages. In these conditions, this paper aims to improve of relief system in disaster. To achieve our aims, we analyzed the present disaster relief system in a legal, institutional aspect and disaster relief on the conceptual content, and look at the contents of the damage I have seen. And we are look at the issue of disaster relief, disaster relief measures to improve the present. In conclusion, this research suggests the improvements of the disaster relief system. First, Donations to secure transparency of the scheme passes. Second, the reality of actual expenses paid farmland. Third, recovery estimate by the reality. Fourth, when the disaster occurred, and the disaster of the itemized information. Finally, the degree of damage to the housing relief material support systems need improvement.

There is a growing interest on Electric Vehicles due to global warming and greenhouse gas emission issue. Recently, new technologies of EV fast charging are continually being developed and power supply infrastructure technologies are being developed widely. In general, the fast charging system consists of AC-DC converter, DC-DC converter, and filters. This paper performs modeling of Electric Vehicle fast charging system using EMTP(Electromagnetic transient program).

Due to the depletion of fossil fuel, high oil price and global warming issue by green house gas such as CO2, clean synthetic fuel technologies using biomass, especially GTL(Gas To Liquid) technology, have been greatly attracted. This paper has examined and compared the worldwide technologies trend of natural gas reforming reaction, F-T(Fisher-Tropsch) synthesis and upgrading process which are three backbones of GTL technology.

Recently, climate change around the world due to global warming has became an important issue and damages by climate change have a bad effect on human life. Changes of Sea Surface Temperature(SST) is associated with natural disaster such as Typhoon and El Nino. So we predicted daily future SST using Statistical Downscaling Method and CGCM 3.1 A1B scenario. 9 points of around Korea peninsular were selected to predict future SST and built up a regression model using Multiple Linear Regression. CGCM 3.1 was simulated with regression model, and that comparing Probability Density Function, Box-Plot, and statistical data to evaluate suitability of regression models, it was validated that regression models were built up properly.

1997년 12월 일본 교토에서 개최된 COP3를 계기로 1999년 3월 에너지보존법이 대폭적으로 개정 및 강화되어졌다. 지구온난화의 주된 원인이 되는 이산화탄소는 에너지와 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있으므로, 에너지보존·자원보존의 추진은 지구온난화 대책의 추진과 동등한 의미를 가지고 있다고 하여도 과언이 아니다. 여기서는 건축설비계획의 관점에서 에너지보존법 개정의 요점과 그 대응책에 관해서 개요를 소개하였다.

The most concerning issue in these days is the energy crisis by increasing threat of global warming and depletion of natural resources. In the situations, the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) is drawing attention from many countries for the next generation's car which has higher fuel efficiency and lower environmental impact. This paper presents simulation results about the limit capacity of central power-grid which doesn't have enough surplus electric power for charging PHEVs. Therefore, this paper also presents a smart charging system that can charge the PHEVs with a function of distributing demands of charging. The smart charging system is an agent facility between the government and consumer, which can recommend the best time to charge the battery of PHEVs by the lowest energy cost. This function of choosing time-slots is the technical system for the government which wants to control the consumption rate of electric power for PHEVs. Finally, this paper presents the economic feasibility of PHEVs from the two kinds of price system, midnight electric price and home electric price.

The concern on sustainable development is increased to solve the global warming which is environmental issue over nations. Sustainable development is the concept of minimizing the consumption of resource and environment burden. In transportation, there are some trials of shifting to green transportation mode through low energy consumption and high efficiency. Korea Tilting Train eXpress (TTX) can run higher speed than existing train and save energy through light weight. In this study, Tilting bogie, the core equipment of tilting train, was compared with that of existing train.

Since the global warming causes debris flow damage has increased in Kangwon Area, Sediment control dam have increasingly founded to protect the damage. In spite of the realities design methods are well not established to determine type of the dam, design parameters and maintenance. Through comparison for design methods to sediment control dam in Korea, it raised some points to improve to correspond with realities. In addition, it pointed that some issues for the sediment control dams in Kangwon Area. Those are shown that unclear positions of the dams, unremoval of sediment, occurrence of seepage under the dams and uninstallation of roads to remove sediment. In addition, the countermeasure for the issues are proposed.
