국내는 Carbon Capture & Storage(CCS) 기술은 일정 수준에 도달해 있으나, 대량 저장을 할 수 있는 지중 및 해양지역의 확보와 실용화가 곤란한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 액상 탄산화 반응을 통하여 이산화탄소(CO₂)를 안정하게 고정화가 가능한 알칼리 토금속인 칼슘(Ca)과 마그네슘(Mg) 성분을 다량 포함한 산업부산물인 석탄 바닥재 및 순환골재에 CO₂를 저장하기 위한 기초 연구를 수행하였으며, 이의 반응물인 개질된 석탄 바닥재 및 순환골재를 이용하여 건자재의 제조 가능성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.

The waste treatment cost and energy production benefit of Wonju city RDF plant, the first RDF manufacturing plant in Korea, were investigated in this study. All plant operation data, like total weight of received wastes, produced RDF and separated rejects in processes have been fully recorded for mass balance calculation of the plant. Also all consumed oil and electricity have been recorded for energy balance calculation. The results showed that the waste treatment cost not included the RDF sales price of 25,000 won/ton-RDF was 139,316 won/ton-MSW and it went down to 128,640 won when included the RDF price in 2011. Produced RDF was 42.7% of total received waste in weight. Three components analysis by mass balance calculation of total received waste showed that Wonju city's MSW was 34.0% of combustible, 35.0% of water and 31% of incombustible respectively. Energy effect was found that total amount of produced energy was about 4 times more than that of consumed energy. Analysis data for 5 years since 2007 were summarized and shown in this study.
