The objective of the study is to develop life cycle inventory (LCI) database of dam, a major facility for irrigation water supply. The types of database developed are three out of nine dams according to the size of the wate r storage capacity: two kinds larger than 500,000 $m^3$ depending on gate for discharging (Type 1) and the other dam smaller than 500,000 $m^3$ (Type 2). According to the LCI analysis, type 1 larger than 500,000 $m^3$ storage capacity with gate has the lowest environment impact in the 6 impact categories. The impact of the type 1 accounts for 7~35 % of the type 2 for supplying irrigation water. Comparing with the environment impacts of water for other uses such as drinking and industrial water, the impacts of 1 $m^3$ irrigation water supply is 4~45 % of the one for industrial water supply and 1~16 % of the drinking water's. The three types of LCI DB on the irrigation water by dams will be useful in the application of Life Cycle Assessment in agricultural products and environmental labelling including carbon footprint since it is complied to the guidelines of LCI DB constr uction issued by Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Knowledge Economy.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) usually involves some uncertainty. These uncertainties are generally divided in two categories such lack of data and data inaccuracy in life cycle inventory (LCI). This paper explo.es a methodology on dealing with uncertainty due to lack of data in LCI. In order to treat uncertainty of LCI data, a model for data uncertainty is proposed. The model works with probabilistic curves as inputs and with Monte Carlo Simulation techniques to propagate uncertainty. The probabilistic curves were derived from the results of survey in expert network and Monte Carlo Simulation was performed using the derived probabilistic curves. The results of Monte Carlo Simulation were verified by statistical test. The proposed approach should serve as a guide to improve data quality and deal with uncertainty of LCI data in LCA projects.

본 연구에서는 전과정평가 방법론을 활용하여 교량용 탄성받침 제조 공정에 대한 전과정목록(LCI) DB를 구축하고, 교량의 환경부하평가시 신뢰성 향상율을 분석하였다. 교량용 탄성받침의 영향평가 결과, 6대 영향범주 중 자원고갈, 지구온난화, 광화학산화물 생성 범주 순으로 주로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타냈다. 투입물의 기여도에서는 대부분의 영향범주에서 후판이 가장 높게 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 구축된 교량용 탄성받침 전과정목록(LCI) DB를 교량 환경부하평가에 적용한 결과 환경부하량은 평균 0.53% 증가하였으며, 투입자재의 금액기준 Cut-off는 11.36% 증가하였다. 교량용 탄성받침 LCI DB 구축을 통해 향후 온실가스 배출량 산정, 환경부하평가 등의 신뢰성을 향상시키고 현재 생산기술에 기반한 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 전과정평가 방법론을 활용하여 액체 이산화탄소 제조 공정에 대한 전과정목록 DB를 구축하였다. 특성화와 정규화 결과, 액체 이산화탄소의 제조는 자원소모, 지구온난화 범주가 주로 영향을 미치며, 다음으로 산성화, 부영양화, 광화학적산화물생성 순이었다. 투입물의 기여도에서는 대부분의 영향범주에서 전력이 가장 높았으며 산성화와 부영양화에는 대기배출이 높은 기여도를 나타내었다. 오존층 파괴 범주의 경우 암모니아가 주된 원인이었다. 본 액체 이산화탄소 LCI DB를 통하여 탄소성적표지 등의 국가적 차원의 환경 전략 활용이 활성화되기를 기대한다.

Life cycle assessment(LCA) has been developed from the concept of life cycle thinking. Life cycle thinking implies that everyone in the whole chain of a product's life cycle, from cradle to grave, has a responsibility and a role to play, taking into account all the relevant external effects. LCA is an analytical tool for identifying environmental loads and assessing the environmental impact in the whole chain of a product's life cycle. In Europe and Japan, LCA and ecodesign study for railway industry have been actively carried out recently. However, LCA for railway industry in domestic is still infant. LCA is standardized in International Organization of Standardization(ISO), base on the ISO 14040 standards, 307 life cycle inventory(LCI) database for infrastructure and base materials have been established in total since 1999. Some of LCI database can use in performing LCA for trains and railway infrastructure, but still not enough to derive accurate LCA result. Therefore, railway oriented LCA methodology and LCI DB are needed to be developed.

Life Cycle Assessment(LCA) has been carried out to evaluate the environmental impacts of glass bottle recycle. The LCA consists of four stages such as Goal and Scope Definition, Life Cycle Inventory(LCI) Analysis, Life Cycle Impact Assessment(LCIA), and Interpretation. The LCI analysis showed that the major input materials were water, materials, sand, and crude oil, whereas the major output ones were wastewater, $CO_2$, and non-hazardous wastes. The LCIA was conducted for the six impact categories including 'Abiotic Resource Depletion', 'Acidification', 'Eutrophication', 'Global Warming', 'Ozone Depletion', and 'Photochemical Oxidant Creation'. As for Abiotic Resource Depletion, Acidification, and Photochemical Oxidant Creation, Bunker fuel oil C and LNG were major effects. As for Eutrophication, electricity and Bunker fuel oil C were major effects. As for Global Warming, electricity and LNG were major effects. As for Ozone Depletion, plate glasses were major effects. Among the six categories, the biggest impact potential was found to be Global Warming as 97% of total, but the rest could be negligible.

본 연구에서는 $CO_2$ 배출 저감을 위한 저탄소 콘크리트 구조물 설계 절차를 제시하였다. 전과정 $CO_2$ 평가에 기반한 저탄소 콘크리트 구조물 설계 절차는 ISO 13315-2에서 요구하는 시스템 경계를 이용하였으며 구조물의 전과정 평가를 수행하기 위한 전과정 목록(life-cycle inventory, LCI)은 기본적으로 국가에서 구축한 LCI 데이터베이스 정보망을 이용하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 절차에 따라 전단벽 콘크리트 구조물을 대상으로 전과정 $CO_2$ 평가에 대한 사례분석을 수행하였다. 기둥부재의 경우 GGBS 25% 치환 시 재료단계, 해체 및 파쇄단계, 운송단계에서 $CO_2$ 발생량 및 탄산화에 의한 $CO_2$ 포집량은 모두 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며 OPC 대비 약 26% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 기둥, 벽체, 보 및 슬래브 전체의 경우 GGBS 25% 치환에 따라 전과정 $CO_2$ 발생량이 약 22% 저감하는 것으로 나타났다.

Life cycle assessment(LCA) is acknowledged as a valuable tool to quantify the environment impact of agricultural practice as well as final product(biodiesel) considering whole life cycle of the target product. As a preliminary research of LCA study for rapeseed(Brassica napus L.) biodiesel, the methodological issues which have to be regarded with high priority were dealt with. No life cycle inventory(LCI) based on local data are currently available for LCA of rapeseed cultivation, crushing, and conversion to rapeseed methyl ester(RME) in Korea. In this paper, the life cycle of rapeseed and methodological factors which have to be measured for building LCI of each process are provided and discussed, which are including seed, fertilizer, energy use in rapeseed cultivation environment; and crushing, RME conversion, and transportation in biodiesel production.
