Quality of GHG emission from solid waste disposal depends on level of activity data. Activity data of solid wastedisposal is mass of waste disposal and waste composition. Waste composition is one of the main factors influencingemissions from solid waste disposal. According to GHG target management in Korea, uncertainty of activity datadetermined by level of tier. We suggest minimum sample number for analysis of waste composition. In result, we suggestto revise the guideline for GHG target management that minimum sample number for analysis of waste compositionmust be over 73 times during 3 years for total uncertainty of waste composition must be less than or equal to 7.5%(Tier 1 level).

Analysis and evaluation of uncertainty is adopting the advanced methodology among the methods for greenhouse gas emission assessment that was defined in GPS2000 (Good practice guideline 2000) and GPG-LULUCF (GPG Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry). In 2006 IPCC guideline, two approaches are suggested to explain the uncertainty for each section with a national net emission and a prediction value on uncertainty as follows; 1) Spread sheet calculation based on the error propagation algorithm that was simplified with some assumptions, and 2) Monte carlo simulation that can be utilized in general purposes. There are few researches on the agricultural field including greenhouse gas emission that is generated from livestock and cultivation lands due to lack of information for statistic data, emission coefficient, and complicated emission formula. The main objective of this study is to suggest an evaluation method for the uncertainty of greenhouse gas emission in agricultural field by means of intercomparison of the prediction value on uncertainties which were estimated by spread sheet calculation and monte carlo simulation. A statistic analysis for probability density function for uncertainty of emission rate was carried out by targeting livestock intestinal fermentation, excrements treatment, and direct/indirect emission from agricultural lands and rice cultivation. It was suggested to minimize uncertainty by means of extraction of emission coefficient according to each targeting section.

Entropy is a measure of disorder or uncertainty. This terminology is qualitatively used in the understanding of its correlation to pollution in the environmental area. In this research, three different entropies were defined and characterized in order to quantify the qualitative entropy previously used in the environmental science. We are dealing with newly defined distinct entropies E1, E2, and E3 originated from Shannon entropy in the information theory, reflecting concentration of three major green house gases CO2, N2O and CH4 represented as the probability variables. First, E1 is to evaluate the total amount of entropy from concentration difference of each green house gas with respect to three periods, due to industrial revolution, post-industrial revolution, and information revolution, respectively. Next, E2 is to evaluate the entropy reflecting the increasing of the logarithm base along with the accumulated time unit. Lastly, E3 is to evaluate the entropy with a fixed logarithm base by 2 depending on the time. Analytical results are as follows. E1 shows the degree of prediction reliability with respect to variation of green house gases. As E1 increased, the concentration variation becomes stabilized, so that it follows from linear correlation. E2 is a valid indicator for the mutual comparison of those green house gases. Although E3 locally varies within specific periods, it eventually follows a logarithmic curve like a similar pattern observed in thermodynamic entropy.

현재 개별 매립지의 매립가스 발생량을 추정을 위해 폐기물의 분해를 일차분해반응으로 가정한 수학적 model들인 Scholl Canyon model, Palos Verdes model, Sheldon Arleta model과 IPCC GL 그리고 EPA의 LAEEM(Landfill Air Emissions Estimation Mode) 등이 주로 사용되고 있다. 일차분해 model을 이용한 온실가스 발생량의 추정은 매립된 폐기물의 양 및 조성, 매립시기와 경과시간 등의 기초자료, 폐기물의 메탄최대발생량(L0)와 메탄발생속도계수(k)를 사용되기 때문에 온실가스의 정확한 예측을 위해서는 이들에 대한 보다 적절한 값이 선정되어야 한다. 현재 선진국들은 매립지 특성을 반영한 메탄발생속도상수(k)를 제시하고 있으나 국내에의 경우 이러한 연구가 전무한 상황으로 이에 대한 연구가 필요한 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서는 현재 사용중인 2곳(H, Y 매립지)의 소규모 매립장에 대한 매립지 특성 자료수집과 현장측정을 통해 2006 IPCC FOD방법의 입력변수로 사용되는 메탄발생속도 상수(k)를 산출하여 보았으며, 또한 이 결과를 default valus 적용한 2006 IPCC GL의 FOD방법에 의한 메탄 배출량 산정결과와 비교하여 보았다. 2006 IPCC GL에 제시된 FOD방법의 메탄 배출량 산정식을 이용한 k값 산정 결과, H 매립지의 산정된 평균 k값은 0.0413 yr-1, Y 매립지의 산정된 평균 k값은 0.0117 yr-1로 나타나 IPCC 가이드라인에 제시된 기본값이 0.09 yr-1에 비하여 상대적으로 낮은 값을 보였다. 또한 현장측정에 의해 산출된 k값들과 2006 IPCC GL의 default value을 이용하여 H, Y매립장에 대하여 메탄가스 배출량을 비교해본 결과, H매립지(1994년~2012년)와 Y매립장의 메탄가스 총배출량이 현장측정에 비하여 492.7%와 166.5%나 과다산정되는 것으로 나타나 매립지에서 발생하는 정확한 온실가스 배출량 예측을 위해서는 각각의 매립지별 현장 측정을 통한 고유의 k값 결정을 통한 산정이 진행돼야 할 것으로 판단된다.

제4차 전국폐기물 통계조사(‘13.3, 환경부)에 따르면 현재 국내에서는 년간 1,593천톤의 소각재가 발생하며 그중 대부분인 1,227천톤(약 77%)은 단순매립으로 처리되고 있고, 단지 366천톤(약 23%)의 소각재만이 재활용되고 있다. 그러나 최근 수도권 자치단체의 “매립폐기물 제로화” 선언, 매립부담금, 순환자원 사용 확대 등을 주요골자로 하는 “자원순환사회 전환촉진법” 제정 등이 추진되고 있어 그 어느 때 보다도 더욱 새로운 대안모색이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 대부분 매립에 의존하던 생활폐기물 소각 바닥재를 매립지내 매립가스 소각후 발생되는 배가스를 이용하여 탄산화과정을 통해 지구온난화물질인 CO2는 소각재에 포집하고 소각재는 유해 중금속의 용출이 억제된 순환골재로 재활용하고자 하는 실증연구로 진행되었다. 반입된 소각재는 불순물 제거, 입도선별, 철분류 등의 전처리를 거친후 2차 입도선별을 통하여 100 mesh 이상의 큰 입자는 입자표면에 탄산염층을 생성하는 건식 탄산화 공정과 탈염 공정 등 안정화 과정을 거쳐 순환골재로 재생되며, 생산된 순환골재의 도로용 보조기층재로서의 적합여부를 확인하기 위하여 한국건설생활환경시험연구원에 순환골재 시험분석을 의뢰한 결과 도로보조기층용 순환골재(KS규격 KS F 2474)와 비교한 결과 기준에 적합한 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 환경부 차세대 핵심환경기술 개발사업의 연구비 지원으로 수행되었으며, 이에 감사드립니다.

본 연구에서는 혐기성 소화조에서 발생하는 이산화탄소를 충전탑으로 유입하여 MEA, DEA 및 AMP의 화학적 흡수제의 농도변화에 따른 이산화탄소 제거 효율을 검토하여 혐기성 소화조 내에 적용 가능성을 판단하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서 실험에 사용된 충전탑은 유리제 Raschig Ring 6×6 mm를 충전한 직경 50 mm, 충전 높이 1.40 m를 사용하였으며, 액체부하는 20 ℓ/hr, 가스부하는 130 ℓ/hr로 고정하여 CO2의 농도를 10%, 20%, 30%로 주입하였을 때 MEA 10% 및 20%에서와 AMP 10의 CO2 제거율을 관찰하였다. 또한 Packed Tower의 지름은 0.288 m, 충전층의 높이는 1 m이며, 실험시스템은 Air, Air/Water 및 Air-CO2/MEA 흡수제로 하였다. 실험결과에 대한 평가는 계산 프로그램을 통하여 추출하였으며, 분리작용 HTUov, 통과단위수 NTUov, 그리고 정확한 농도계산은 측정을 통하여, 가스 그리고 액체부하를 변화시킴으로써 측정범위를 파악하였다. 실험 결과, MEA의 경우 흡수액 농도, 유입 CO2 농도가 높을수록 빠른 파과시간을 가짐을 알 수 있었고, MEA 10%, DEA 10%, AMP 10% 농도에서의 흡수속도는 MEA, DEA, AMP의 순으로 나타났으며, 흡수부하는 AMP, DEA, MEA의 순으로 나타났다. 그리고 흡수액의 모든 혼합비 및 온도 조건에서 MEA의 첨가량이 높아질수록 CO2의 흡수효율이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 실험결과를 바탕으로 혐기성 소화조에 적용할 CO2 흡수 충전탑 내의 흡수액은 MEA을 적용할 경우 가장 높은 효율을 가지는 것으로 판단되었다.

This paper attempted to estimate the emissions of HFC-134a from scrap truck as a result of measuring the residual quantities of HFC-134a in air conditioner of scrap truck. We measured the residual amounts in the scrap truck of 138 by applying commercial recover for refrigerants. The average residual rate(disposal-phase emission factor) is reported to be 44.3±3.3% within a confidence interval of 95%. Recent year model trucks exhibit the higher residual rates. Little variation, however, is observed in regard to vehicle size. The HFC-134a emission quantity from scrap truck in 2011 is estimated to be 55,908 tCO2-eq that demonstrates 21.4% increase to compare with that in 2007. As the numbers of truck have increased dramatically during the last two decades, the emissions of HFC-134a from scrap truck would increase sharply in the next coming years. HFC-134a is a very high GWP greenhouse gas. therefore have to reduce the emissions from the scrap truck and need to find ways to recycle. The chemical compositions of refrigerants from scrap truck are quite similar to those of new refrigerants, suggesting that the refrigerants from scrap truck could be reused as refrigerant.

Needs for more accurate greenhouse gas (GHG) emission estimation are increasing to prepare for post-Kyoto protocol and emission trading starting from 2015 in Korea. Although GHG emission from landfill is relatively low, uncertainty of methane emissions from landfill is very high compared to the other sectors. Moreover, accurate estimation is needed to design landfill gas collection system and energy generation plant. In this paper, we investigated development methodologies of parameters comprising methane generation potential (L0) which is one of key parameters in methane emission estimation models. DOC included four steps including analysis of waste component, water content, organic carbon content, fossil carbon content. Instead of analysis of organic carbon content and fossil carbon content, biochemical analysis, measuring content of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, is used in MELMod, landfill gas generation model in UK. Methodologies to develop DOCF has several methods including batch test, lysimeter test and test cell. They had difference in scale and similarity to landfill, but it is hard to consider the best method at the present stage. Preceding research on MCF is little. Lysimeter test and test cell can be the candidate to develop MCF, because of flexibility on test condition to characterize the structure of landfill sites. F is defined as fraction of methane in landfill gas. But by carbon flow and mass balance, F should represent fraction of methane in biogas generated by anaerobic decomposition. In this definition, F can be derived by same methods to that of DOCF.

Emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHGs) from aircraft activities at 11 small-scale airports were investigated using the emissions and dispersion modeling system (EDMS) version 5.1.3 during the two year period of 2009~2010. The number of landing and take-off (LTO) at these airports was dominant for the aircraft type B737, accounting for more than 60% of the total LTOs. Out of the 11 small-scale airports, Gwangju (GJ, RKJJ) airport was the largest emitter of air pollutants and GHGs, whereas Yangyang (YY, RKNY) airport was the smallest emitter. The emissions of NOx and VOCs in 2010 at the 11 airports ranged from 1.9 to 83 ton/y and 0.1 to 17 ton/y, respectively. In 2010, the emissions of CO2 ranged from 394 to 21,217 ton/y. The emissions of most air pollutants (except for NOx and PM10) and GHGs were estimated to be the highest in taxi-out mode. The highest emissions of NOx and PM10 were emitted from climb-out and approach modes, respectively. In addition, the total LTOs at the 11 small-scale airports accounted for the range of 9.3~9.9% of those at four major international airports in Korea. The total emissions of air pollutants and GHGs at the 11 airports ranged from 4.8 to 12% of those at the four major airports.

Climate change is rapidly getting worse. In Korea, the average temperature has increased by 1.5℃ over the last 100 years. In terms of global warming, it causes regional climate change, extreme weather phenomena and change of cultivated area. moreover, Global Warming brings both direct and indirect damage to agricultural cultivation. Global warming was accelerated by the greenhouse gas emissions which is by industry. In addition, Greenhouse gas emissions are increasing. In agriculture Thus we need to figure out how to analyze and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and its cause. This study assumes that it is the introduction of the bio-energy using compost to facility house and it analyzes that there is the difference between in the future in utilizing compost due to the introduction of bio-energy facility houses; Environmental effect and Environmental effect which are generally used. This research is a previous step for resource-circulating, farming, utilizing a variety of by-products of the agricultural sector as an environmental assessment studies for the future completion of resource-circulating agriculture.

본 논문은 순차적인 일국 CGE 모형을 구축하여 국가의 온실가스 저감정책과 연계한 물산업 지원 정책의 경제적 파급효과를 분석하였다. 모형은 물산업과 에너지 부문을 세분화하였으며, 온실가스 저감수단으로 탄소세를 도입하였다. 시나리오는 탄소세수를 가계에 이전하는 경우와 물산업에 지원되는 경우로 구축해 모의결과를 비교분석 하였다. 분석결과 물산업 지원 정책은 GDP 기준 약 0.1% 수준의 온실가스 저감 비용을 절감하고 소비와 투자를 확대하는데 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 물산업의 에너지 집약도가 높기 때문에 탄소세 부과로 인한 에너지 대체, 비에너지 집약적 산업구조 전환에의 기여도는 미미하였다. 따라서 온실가스 저감정책 하에서 물산업 발전을 위해 에너지 효율개선, 친환경 에너지 개발 및 활용 증진 등 비용효율적인 물산업 정책 추진이 중요할 것이다.

We conducted the experiment in order to evaluate the control effect of whitefly using the sticky trap. Both Bemisia tabaci and Trialeurodes vaporariorum were more attracted to yellow sticky trap than white or blue colored traps. When yellow sticky traps were installed in different height around tomato, catches of B. tabaci were not significantly different among the traps and catches of T. vaporariorum on the traps in the upper position were more than lower position. T. vaporariorum was more attracted to trap when host plant is smaller. The attracted number to yellow sticky traps were not significantly different between whiteflies (B. tabaci and T. vaporariorum) and their parasitoids (Encarsia formosa and Eretmocerus mundus). Yellow sticky trap reduced population density of both B. tabaci and T. vaporariorum by more than 80% on tomato nursery in a screen cage. Population density of whiteflies in greenhouse installed yellow sticky traps was less than one third of that in untreated greenhouse.

This paper attempted to estimate the emissions of HFC-134a from scrap passenger vehicles as a result of measuring the residual quantities of HFC-134a in scrap vehicles. We measured the residual amounts in the scrap passenger vehicles of 196 by applying commercial recover for refrigerants. The average residual rate is reported to be 61.2 ± 2.4% with a confidence interval of 95%. As expected, the higher residual rates are shown for recent models. Little variation, however, is made with vehicle size. The HFC-134a emission quantity from scrap passenger vehicles in 2011 is estimated to be 326,236.83 tCO2 eq that demonstrates 53% increase to compare with that in 2007. As the numbers of passenger vehicles have increased dramatically during the last two decades, the emissions of HFC-134a from scrap passenger vehicles would increase sharply in the next coming years. The chemical compositions of refrigerants from scrap passenger vehicles are quite similar to those of new refrigerants, suggesting that the refrigerants from scrap passenger vehicles could be reused.

Quantifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emission is important for evaluating various reduction measures for greenhouse gas, which causes significant negative impacts on earth. To estimate GHG emission from waste sector over the period of between 2000 and 2009 in Daejeon Metropolitan City, the 2006 IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and Korean GHG Inventory for local government guidelines and methodologies were employed. Four different waste treatment methods (landfill, incineration, biological treatment, and Sewage wastewater treatment) were evaluated to estimate GHG emission by following the guidelines. The trends of GHG emission rate by direct emission increased between 2000 and 2009 as a result of increased incineration rate. The solid waste sector was directly responsible for 307,700 tonCO2eq/yr in 2009. Incineration contributed approximately 57% of the GHG emission, while landfill disposal was responsible for about 30% of the GHG. Approximately 464,400 tonCO2eq/yr in 2009 was emitted by indirect emission from the waste sector. Based on the results, a variety of measures are needed to reduce the GHG emission from waste sector in Daejeon Metropolitan City along with implementing effective waste source reduction and recycling policy. More specifically, this evaluation proposed that among the possible reduction options, further source separation of recyclables as well as improved diversion of recyclable materials at proposed Daejeon resource recycling complex in 2014 would have the greater benefits for reducing GHG emissions in Daejeon Metropolitan City's waste sector.

It has been reported that world population continues to increase so that a matter of food security can be a world-wide problem for mankind. An anticipated rise in world population of 30% and the subsequent increased demand for food brings with it challenges in terms of global resource usage and food security. However, ruminant livestock production and consumption make a large contribution to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which can be attributable to food production. Given the association between GHG and climate change, this is clearly of great concern to the livestock industry worldwide. Nevertheless, ruminant livestock also play an important role in global food security as they can convert the plant cell wall materials and non-protein nitrogen compounds, found widely in plants but indigestible to all monogastric animals including man, into high value proteins for human consumption. Much effort has been made to maximize animal production, feed conversion ratio, and to improve animal breeding in ruminant agriculture. In addition improving feed formulation techniques, developing chemical additives, plant extracts, and new plant varieties for grazing have been tested. Future ruminant production systems will need to capitalize on important benefits of ruminants. It is therefore suggested that ruminant agriculture has a key role to play in maintaining and enhancing provision of quality proteins and essential nutrients for human being but the challenge of reducing GHG emissions, and methane in particular, needs to be successfully addressed.

Greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes Vaporariorum, is the most important insect pest in environmental friendly tomato production. Natural enemies, Nesidiocoris tenuis and environmental friendly agricultural materials (EFAM) are major control agents in Korea. The aim of the present work is to evaluate release time of N. tenuis in controlling of T. vaporariorum and to select environmental friendly agricultural materials (EFAM) to suppress both T. vaporariorum and N. tenuis which if the density were high causing necrotic rings. Six EFAM selected to control of Trialeurodes Vaporariorum in three times spray with seven days intervals. Three EFAM showed high mortality 67.7~70.5% in spray after release plot but low in release after spray plot. It should be careful to spray with N. tenuis. When N. tenuis were early release at 7 days after transplanting which before occurring and establishment of greenhouse whitefly, it could suppress the density. Extracts of bead tree + matrin, matrin 1, Chrysanthemum showed high mortality on T. vaporariorum adults and N. tenuis. The results suggested that tms three EFAM could be control agents of the damage of necrotic rings from N. tenuis.

Indirect CO2 effect due to non-methane volatile organic compound (NMVOC) emissions from solvent and product use and fugitive NMVOC emissions from fuels in the Republic of Korea and 13 Annex I countries under United Nations Framework on Climate Change were estimated and the proportions of them to total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ranged from 0.092% to 0.45% in 2006. Indirect greenhouse effect (CO2, CH4, and O3) were estimated at 13 photochemical assessment monitoring sites in the Republic of Korea using concentrations of 8 NMVOCs of which indirect global warming potential (GWP) were available. The contribution of toluene to mixing ratio was highest at 11 sites and however, the contribution of toluene to indirect greenhouse effect was highest at nine sites. In contrast to toluene, the contributions of ethane, butane, and ethylene were enhanced. The indirect greenhouse effects of ethane and propane, of which ozone formation potentials are the lowest and the third lowest respectively among targeted 10 NMVOCs, ranked first and fourth highest respectively. Acetaldehyde has relatively higher maximum incremental reactivity and is classified as probable human carcinogen however, its indirect GWP ranked second lowest.
