전세계적으로 2015년 파리기후협약에서 정한 목표에 따라 2050년까지 탄소중립을 위하여 각 국가는 감축목표를 수립 및 선언하고, "장기 저탄소 발전전략" (Long-term low greenhouse gas Emission Development Strategies, LEDS)을 수립, 감축 목표 설정을 위한 로드맵 등을 발표하고 있다. 국제사회의 탄소중립사회 전환 가속화에 따라 2020년말까지 128개국이 탄소중립을 선언하였으며, G20 회원국을 중심으로 지속적으로 탄소중립선언이 확대되고 있다. 우리나라도 2020년 12월 탄소중립의 능동적 대응을 통해 탄소중립과 경제성장, 국민 삶의 질 향상을 동시 달성하는 기반 마련을 위한 "2050 탄소중립 추진전략"을 발표하였고, 이를 위한 정책과제를 단계적으로 추진하고 있다. 우리나라에서 온실가스 감축을 위하여 시행되고 있는 온실가스에너지 목표관리제 및 온실가스 배출권거래제 상쇄제도 등 의무감축제도의 영역에서 벗어나 있어 종합적인 탄소관리는 미흡하며, 현재 광해방지사업으로 인한 이산화탄소배출량을 정량화한 사례는 없다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 전세계적인 탄소중립의 관심과 정부 정책 기조에 따라 탄소 중립 실현을 위해서 한국광해광업공단의 주 업무인 광해방지사업에 대하여 국내외 탄소배출량 산정 방법으로 제시된 표준방법을 검토하고, 광해방지사업에 적합한 탄소배출량 산정 방법을 제시하고자 하였다.

Recently, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) announced the development of first-of-a-kind(FOAK) and most advanced futuristic vertical city and named as 'The LINE'. The project will have zero carbon dioxide emissions and will be powered by clean energy sources. Therefore, a study was designed to understand which clean energy sources might be a better choice. Because of its nearly carbon-free footprint, nuclear energy may be a good choice. Nowadays, the development of very small modular reactors (vSMRs) is gaining attention due to many salient features such as cost efficiency and zero carbon emissions. These reactors are one step down to actual small modular reactors (SMRs) in terms of power and size. SMRs typically have a power range of 20 MWe to 300 MWe, while vSMRs have a power range of 1-20 MWe. Therefore, a study was conducted to discuss different vSMRs in terms of design, technology types, safety features, capabilities, potential, and economics. After conducting the comparative test and analysis, the fuel cycle modeling of optimal and suitable reactor was calculated. Furthermore, the levelized unit cost of electricity for each reactor was compared to determine the most suitable vSMR, which is then compared other generation SMRs to evaluate the cost variations per MWe in terms of size and operation. The main objective of the research was to identify the most cost effective and simple vSMR that can be easily installed and deployed.

Enthalpy transport in a pulse tube was investigated by two-dimensional analysis of mass, momentum and energy equations assuming that the axial temperature gradient in the pulse tube was constant. The time-averaged second-order conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy were used to show the existence of steady mass and enthalpy streaming. Effects of the axial temperature gradient, velocity amplitude ratio, and heat transfer between the gas and the tube wall On the steady mass and enthalpy streaming were shown. Enthalpy loss due to the steady mass streaming is zero for basic and orifice pulse tube refrigerators, but it is proportional to the axial temperature gradient and steady mass flow rate through a pulse tube for double inlet pulse tube refrigerators.

국제사회는 글로벌 기후위기 극복을 위해 2050년까지 탄소중립(Net Zero)을 목표로 다양한 탈탄소 에너지원 개발을 지속하고 있다. 우리 정부에서도 '재생에너지 3020' 정책을 수립하고 태양광이나 풍력을 이용한 에너지 개발계획을 추진함에 따라 해상 풍력발전단지와 같이 연안해역에서 기존에는 볼 수 없었던 대규모 해양개발사업이 추진되고 있다. 해양시설물은 선박의 입장에서 볼 때는 항행 장애물의 일종이며, 해양시설물 설치에 따라 좁아진 수역에서 선박 간 충돌사고 발생 또는 선박과 해양시설물의 접촉사고 발생시 환경오염 및 인명피해 등의 발생이 우려된다. 이에 국내외의 해상풍력발전단지 개발계획을 살펴보고 풍력단지에서 선박의 안전한 통항을 보장하기 위한 제도적 장치가 완비되어 있는지 분석하였으며, 해외의 입법 사례와 국내 법규를 비교하여 법적 사각지대를 해소하기 위한 새로운 법령안을 제안함으로써 대한민국의 관할해역에서 해양시설물의 안전한 운영과 선박의 안전한 통항을 기대하였다.

본 연구는 탄소중립건물의 기술적 정의 및 사례 분석을 통해 탄소중립 달성의 잠재성을 분석한다. 2015년 12월 파리 협정에 따라 세계는 평균 기온 상승을 2℃ 이하로 제한하고, 산업화 이전 수준보다 1.5℃로 제한하려는 노력을 추진하기로 합의하였다. 이를 위해 2050년까지 넷제로(net-zero) 상태에 도달해야 하며, 에너지, 토지, 수송 등 광범위한 부문에서 전환이 필요하다. 본 연구는 탄소중립을 달성하기 위한 기술적 접근과 실제 사례를 통해 탄소중립건물의 가능성과 한계를 탐구하며, 이를 통해 미래의 탄소중립 목표 설정에 기여하고자 한다. 특히, 탄소중립 건물의 정의와 그 실현을 위한 다양한 기술적 방안을 소개하고, 이를 실현한 국내외 사례를 분석함으로써 탄소중립 건물의 효과와 실행 가능성을 평가한다. 연구 결과는 탄소중립 건물의 설계, 건설 및 운영에 대한 구체적 가이드라인을 위한 정보를 제공하며, 정책 입안자와 실무자들이 지속 가능한 건축 환경을 조성하는 데 필요한 실질적 정보를 제공한다.

Ammonia is drawing attention as carbon free fuel due to its ease of storage and transportation compared to hydrogen. This study suggests ammonia fueled solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system with electrochemical hydrogen compressor (EHC)-based recirculation. Performance of electrochemical hydrogen pump is based on the experimental data under varying hydrogen and nitrogen concentration. As a result, the suggested system shows 62.04% net electrical efficiency. The efficiency is 10.33% point higher compared to simple standalone SOFC system (51.71%), but 0.02% point lower compared to blower-based recirculation system (62.06%). Further improvement in the EHC-based SOFC recirculation system can be achieved with EHC performance improvement.

The heavy water zero power reactor (HWZPR), which is a critical assembly with a maximum power of 100 W, can be used in different lattice pitches. The last change of core configuration was from a lattice pitch of 18-20 cm. Based on regulations, prior to the first operation of the reactor, a new core was simulated with MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle)-4C and WIMS (Winfrith Improved Multigroup Scheme)-CITATON codes. To investigate the criticality of this core, the effective multiplication factor ($K_{eff}$) versus heavy water level, and the critical water level were calculated. Then, for safety considerations, the reactivity worth of $D_2O$, the reactivity worth of safety and control rods, and temperature reactivity coefficients for the fuel and the moderator, were calculated. The results show that the relevant criteria in the safety analysis report were satisfied in the new core. Therefore, with the permission of the reactor safety committee, the first criticality operation was conducted, and important physical parameters were measured experimentally. The results were compared with the corresponding values in the original core.

Hydrogen is considered a key energy source to achieve carbon neutrality through the global goal of 'Net Zero'. Due to limitations in domestic green hydrogen production, Korean companies are interested in importing green hydrogen produced overseas. Because Australia and the Middle East possess high-quality renewable energy resources, they are attracting attention as suitable regions for producing green hydrogen using renewable energy. The cost of constructing and operating a green ammonia plant varies depending on the region. In this study, an economic feasibility comparison of green ammonia plant construction in Australia and the Middle East is conducted. Through this, it is expected to contribute to the economic analysis and feasibility analysis of the project to import hydrogen in the form of green ammonia into Korea.

Efforts have been made to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from ships by limiting the energy efficiency index, and net zero CO₂ emission was proposed recently. The most ideal measure to achieve zero emission ship is electrification, and fuel cells are considered as a practical power source of the electrified propulsion system. The electric efficiency in the electrochemical reaction of fuel cells can be achieved up to 60% practically. The remaining energy is converted to heat energy but most of them are dissipated by cooling. In the author's previous research, a hybrid propulsion system utilizing not only electricity but also heat was introduced by combining electric motor and steam turbine. In this article, long term efficiency is evaluated for the introduced hybrid propulsion system by considering a virtual 24,000 TEU class container carrier model. To reflect a more practical operating condition, the actual navigation data of a similar real ship in the real world were collected from automatic identification system data and applied. From the result, the overall efficiency of the hybrid propulsion system is expected to be higher than a conventional electric propulsion fuel cell ship by 30%.
