본 연구는 한국에서 시행 중인 탄소배출권 거래제도가 탄소중립을 달 성하는데 효과적으로 기여하고 효율적으로 작동할 수 있도록 정책적 시 사점을 제공하고자 한다. 이를 위해서, 탄소배출권 가격과 전산업생산지 수의 관계를 분석하였다. 즉, 탄소배출권 가격과 전산업생산지수의 선형 및 비선형 관계를 고려하여 경제학적 모형을 통해 추정 및 분석을 진행 하였다. 분석 방식은 구조변화를 반영한 방식과 임계값(문턱값)을 반영하 는 방식으로 나누어 모형을 구축하고 추정하였다. 그 결과, 한국의 탄소 배출권 가격과 전산업생산지수는 추정한 모형에서 비선형적 관계가 포착 되었다. 이러한 결과는 한국에서 시행 중인 탄소배출권 거래제도가 효율 적으로 작동할 수 있도록 추가적인 정책이 필요함을 시사한다. 예를 들 어, 산업 분야에서 저탄소 공정으로의 전환(또는 저탄소 경제로의 전환) 이 완전히 이루어지지 않은 현실을 고려할 때, 여전히 경제가 성장하는 상황에서 비선형 관계가 포착된다는 것은 탄소배출권 가격이 적정한 수 준을 유지하지 못하고 지속적으로 하락하는 추세를 나타낸다는 것이기 때문이다. 따라서, 탄소배출권 거래제도의 본래 취지인 탄소배출량의 감 축에 기여할 수 있도록 적정한 탄소배출권 가격이 배출권 거래제도하에 서 유지되도록 하는 정책을 고려해야 한다.

PURPOSES : The study aims to establish a comprehensive life cycle assessment model for bridges in South Korea considering domestic carbon emission factors. The main aims are to evaluate the carbon emission of bridge construction, focusing on the Seong-ri Bridge as a case study, and to improve national environmental policies and management strategies. METHODS : We utilized the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, adhering to standards set by ISO, to categorize each phase of the bridge's life cycle. The process involved selecting the bridge type based on the compilation of a detailed analysis range. The analysis covered various stages from raw material supply (A1-A3) to construction (A4-A5) and maintenance (B2-B5), excluding certain stages due to data unavailability. Carbon emission factors were then applied to quantify emissions at each stage. RESULTS : The findings indicate that the raw material production phase (A1-A3) contributes to approximately 96% of the total carbon emissions, highlighting its significant impact. We report detailed calculations of emissions using domestically developed emission factors for materials such as steel and concrete and establish a carbon emission per unit length measure for comparative analysis with other infrastructure. CONCLUSIONS : We leveraged LCA ISO standards to analyze each stage of the Seong-ri bridge, calculating its carbon emissions based on domestic factors for CO2, CH4, and N2O. By tailoring the study to Korea-specific emission factors, we develop a greenhouse gas model closely aligned with the nation’s environmental conditions. The results contribute to improving environmental impact assessments and strategically aiding national policy and management decisions.

In the event of an emergency such as facility shutdown during process operation, the by-product gas must be urgently discharged to the vent stack to prevent leakage, fire, and explosion. At this time, the explosion drop value of the released by-product gas is calculated using ISO 10156 formula, which is 27.7 vol%. Therefore, it does not correspond to flammable gas because it is less than 13% of the explosion drop value, which is the standard for flammable gas defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and since the explosion drop value is high, it can be seen that the risk of fire explosion is low even if it is discharged urgently with the vent stock. As a result of calculating the range of explosion hazard sites for hydrogen gas discharged to the Bent Stack according to KS C IEC 60079-10-1, 23 meters were calculated. Since hydrogen is lighter than air, electromechanical devices should not be installed within 23 meters of the upper portion of the Bent Stack, and if it is not possible, an explosion-proof electromechanical device suitable for type 1 of dangerous place should be installed. In addition, the height of the stack should be at least 5 meters so that the diffusion of by-product gas is facilitated in case of emergency discharge, and it should be installed so that there are no obstacles around it.

최근의 국제사회는 경제성장에 따른 기상이변의 방지를 위한 국가 간 기후변화협력 체결(1992년)을 시작으로 환경 오염물질 배출 저감을 요구하고 있다(Moon et al, 2014). 따라서 최근에는 전 세계적으로 지구온난화와 기후변화의 원인이 되는 온실가스의 발생을 줄 이고자 노력하고 있으며, 건설 산업은 이러한 온실가스 배출량의 주요 원인으로 인식되고 있다(Kong et al., 2016) 교량 건설사업이 환 경에 미치는 정도를 전과정평가(Life Cycle Assessment, LCA)방법을 활용하여 재료 및 공법의 지속가능성에 대한 객관적, 정량적 평가 체계를 구축하고자한다. 본 연구에서는 선행적으로 국내외 환경성적표지제도(Environment Product Declaration, EPD), 탄소발자국(Carbon footprint) 등을 분석함으로써, LCA 관련 제도에 대한 전반적인 동향을 파악하였다. 그다음, 국제적으로 통용되고 있는 제품 범주 규칙 (PCR)과 환경제품선언(EPD) 사례를 분석하여 LCA 관련 분석 범위를 확인했으며, 전과정영향평가(LCIA) 방법론과 국내외 LCI DB(Ecoinvent, Athena Pavement LCA, LCA PAVE 등)을 분석함으로써 국내외 환경 영향인자 관련 기술자료를 확보하였다. 또한, 건설 자재, 시공, 유지 관리 관련 설계 명세서, 표준품셈, 단가 산출표를 분석함으로써, 자재 투입량, 장비 연료 소모량에 대한 기초 DB를 도출하였다. 기존 프로그램을 토대로 고속도로 온실가스 산정 프로그램을 개발하여 건설자재, 수송, 시공, 유지 관리 단계에서의 탄소 배출량 산정 사례 분석을 수행했다. 교량 분야는 STEEL BOX교를 선정했다. 이에대하여 건설자재. 시공, 수송, 유지관리에 탄소배출량 을 산정하였다. 산정된 결과를 바탕으로 LCA분석의 기틀을 마련하였으며, 이를 통하여 추후 추가적인 기초 DB를 추가하여 교량 분야 전과정평가 LCA를 분석하기 위한 플랫폼을 제작할 예정이다.

산업화에 따른 이산화탄소 등 온실가스 발생량의 증가는 지구 온난화 현상을 가속화 하였다. 이러한 현상은 지난 수 세기동안 지속 되어왔으며 최근 우리 인간 삶에 지대한 영향을 미치고 있다. 이러한 위험에 따라 주요 선진국들은 에너지 감축 및 온실가스 배출량 제한에 대하여 매우 적극적인 입장을 취하고 있다. 유럽연합(EU)은 온실가스 배출 절감을 위해 시행 중인 ‘탄소배출권 거래제(Emission Traiding System)’ 개혁안에 대하여 합의하여 2050년까지 인위적 생성되는 탄소 배출량을 자연적으로 흡수되는 양과 동일하게 하는 ‘탄 소중립’을 목표로 제시하였다. 국내에선 환경영향평가의 대상이 되는 계획 및 개발사업에 도로건설이 포함되는 ‘탄소중립기본법 시행 령’이 지난 3월 의결되어 시행되었다. 이렇듯, 국내외에선 이러한 탄소저감 제도 구축에 노력을 기울이고 있다. 국내에선 도로건설이 환경영향평가의 대상으로 설정되었으나 2011년 국토교통부에서 배포한 시설물별 탄소배출량 산정 가이드라인 외의 구체적인 생애주기 분석 방법이 부재한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서 국제 표준 ISO 14040의 전과정평가 LCA(Life Cycle Assessment) 방법과 2011년 국 토교통부의 시설물별 탄소배출량 산정 가이드라인을 따라 국내 LCI DB(Life Cycle Inventory Data Base)를 활용한 도로 분야의 전과정 탄소 배출량을 산정하였다. 이후 장비 연료 소모량과 자재 사용에 대한 국내외 LCI DB를 추가하여 도로 건설 전 과정에 대한 LCA 분석 플랫폼을 제작할 예정이다.

이 연구는 팬데믹(pandemic) 전후 국제항공여객 운송시장을 대상으로 항공편 운항에 의한 CO2 배출 특성과 변화를 체계적으 로 파악하는 것을 주요 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 2019년과 2021년 2분기 전 세계 국제여객 항공편 스케줄 데이터를 기반으로 ICAO(International Civil Aviation Organization)의 CERT(CO2 Estimation and Reporting Tool) 인벤토리를 이용하여 노선 단위의 CO2 배출량을 추정한 후, 노선의 대권 거리와 항공기의 크기를 기준으로 구분된 하부시장에 따른 CO2 배출량과 배출 효율성의 분포와 변화를 비교분석하였다. 주요 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 2021년 2분기 전 세계 국제항공여객 운송시장의 CO2 배출량은 약 31.6백만 톤으로 추정되었으며. 2019년 동 분기(117.95백만 톤) 대비 약 73.21% 감소하였다. 두 시기 모두 5,000km 이상의 장거리 시장, 그리고 100~400석 항공기 운용 시장에서의 배출량 비중이 높게 나타났다. 다만 팬데믹 기간에는 5,000km 이상, 그리고 400석 이상 항공기 시장에서 CO2 배출량의 감소가 두드러지게 나타났다. 둘째, 2021년 2분기 시장의 CO2 배출 효율성은 2019년 동 분기 대비 약 4% 향상되었다. 두 시기 모두 노선의 대권 거리와 항공기의 크기가 증가할수록 배출 효율성이 감소하는 경향이 존재하였으며, 팬데믹 기간 중 일부 하부시장에서는 구형 및 초대형 기종들의 운항 감축(혹은 중단)이 두드러짐에 따라 배출 효율성이 향상되기도 하였다. 마지막으로 팬데믹 전후 주요 국제노선들의 CO2 배출 효율성 변화를 탐색한 결과, 글로벌 허브 공항들을 연결하는 대륙 간 장거리 노선들을 중심으로 효율성이 낮게 나타난 반면, 차상위 계층 공항들과 연결된 일부 노선들, 그리고 동남아･동북아의 주요 공항들을 연결하는 역내 노선들은 상대적으로 효율성이 높게 나타났다. 본 연구는 팬데믹 전후 전 세계 국제항공여객 운송시장의 운영 실적과 CO2 배출에 대한 세부 특성과 변화를 실증적으로 분석했다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

The “Carbon Neutral” has become the most important goal to achieve in the era of the climate change crisis. K-water has prepared a roadmap for implementing “Carbon Neutral” by 2050. However, only the reduction targets and strategies for scope 1 and 2 have been set, so the management of carbon generated during the construction project and upfront carbon is not being implemented. Therefore, in this study, the criteria and methodology for estimation carbon emissions in the construction sector at domestic and foreign were reviewed, and a methodology for estimation carbon emissions suitable for K-water construction projects was presented, and a case study was conducted. As a result, most of the carbon emissions were more than 90% of the upfront emissions due to material production. Therefore, upfront carbon management is required for carbon management of K-water construction projects, and it is necessary to quantify carbon emissions through GHG construction inventory, etc., and to establish strategies for future reduction technologies.

This study calculated the on-site measurement (Tier 4) of greenhouse gases emitted during the production stage of major fishing periods that utilize set nets and bamboo weir fishing boats. In addition, using theoretically calculated results (Tier 1), the emission factor presented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was comparatively analyzed. On average, carbon emissions for each operating period in the bamboo weir and set net were calculated to be 0.16 and 3.58 kg CO2 time -1 , respectively; and the measurement values (Tier 4) for each tool were about 4-17 times lower than their respective theoretical values (Tier 1). Significant differences were found based on engine performance. As port entry, port departure, and operating periods of the vessels show negligible variation with short distances, the operation of the vessel engine was considered as the main variable for carbon emissions in anchovy set net fishing.

PURPOSES : In this study, we examined the installation and the effect of the s-type approach lane marking near the stop line of a typical intersection access road. We examined the possibility of installation and standardization of this facility and its impact on vehicular speed management and carbon emission reduction. METHODS : To review the installation and standardization possibilities, the geometric size of the marking was set. The possibility of standardization was examined by applying it to lane markings. The velocity before and after the installation of the marking was compared and analyzed through the velocity estimation equation to assess the impact on speed management. Carbon emissions were estimated by comparing the emissions before and after applying the marking. RESULTS : The s-type approach lane marking can be installed near the stop line of the intersection access road. It was possible to standardize the lane marking by suggesting a formula to determine the size of the geometry. Additionally, the marking enabled vehicular speed management and improvement in the carbon yield. The marking decreased speeds by approximately 10 km/h, from the original speed of 36 km/h to 25.5 km/h after installation. The standard deviation per vehicle was reduced by approximately 5.9 km/h, from 5.8 km/h to 0.9 km/h. Additionally, carbon emissions decreased by 17%, from 14.1 g/40 m to 11.7 g/40 m. CONCLUSIONS : The geometry and size of the lane marking installation can be set near the stop line of the approach road. Standardization of this facility was also possible. The s-type lane marking, installed at the stop line of the approach road, has the potential to control the speed, reduce the acceleration or deceleration, and reduce the carbon emission. In the future, it is expected that such lane markings can be applied to multi-faceted areas

PURPOSES : Road sectors contribute approximately 16 % of total GHG emission rates in South Korea. Engineers and experts expend significant efforts to identify countermeasures for the reduction of carbon emission. This study aims to determine how total carbon emission rates change depending on whether or not there is speed limit enforcement.METHODS: In this study, Lamm’s travel speed profile theory is first adopted to select the hazard road, which sections are designated as speed limit enforcement. Second, Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) was used to simulate the carbon emission on the road.RESULTS : The total carbon emission rate under speed limit enforcement was 10,773 g higher than the condition without speed limit enforcement in the designated road. This might affect acceleration, which can lead to increased emissions.CONCLUSIONS : There would be no researches about proving the relationship how speed limit enforcement has an effect on carbon emission. The result of our study can provide valuable guidelines regarding road safety and eco-friendly roads.

유럽연합(EU)은 온실가스배출 감축을 위해 가장 적극적인 정책을 추 진하고 있다. 해운에서 배출되는 이산화탄소 및 기타 배출가스의 결과, 해운은 지구기후 및 대기에 영향을 미친다. 유럽위원회는 2013년 6월 28일에 해운부문 온실가스배출규제 법안 을 채택하고, 동 법안을 유럽 의회 및 유럽연합각료이사회에 제안하였다. 유럽위원회는 동 입법안에 대한 면밀한 입법영향평가를 실시하여 부작용을 최소화하였다. 2015년 4월 29일 유럽의회 및 유럽연합각료이사회는 위 법안을 「해 상운송으로부터 발생하는 이산화탄소의 감시, 보고 및 검수, 그리고 2009/16/EC 지침 개정에 관한 규칙( 해운부문 온실가스배출규제 규 칙 )」으로 의결하였다. 해운부문 온실가스배출규제 규칙은 2015년 7월 1일부터 시행되고 있다. 해운부문 온실가스배출규제 규칙의 궁극적인 목 적은 가장 효율적인 방법으로 해운부문에서의 탄소배출 감축을 촉진하는 것이다. 이 규칙은 유럽연합 회원국 역내항구간의 항해 및 유럽연합 회원국 역내항구로 입출항하는 5천톤급 초과의 상선에 적용된다. 검수기관은 탄 소배출보고서가 해운부문 온실가스배출규제 규칙에서 규정한 요건을 충 족하고 있는지 평가하며, 탄소배출보고서가 해운부문 온실가스배출규제 규칙을 충족하는 경우 검수기관은 해당 선박에 대한 합격서를 발급한다. 유럽연합 회원국의 역내의 항구로 입출항하는 선박들은 검수기관이 발행 한 유효한 합격서를 지녀야 한다. 이 규칙은 유럽연합의 회원국을 입출 항하는 선박에 적용되므로 해운사 및 해운부문 관계자들은 동 규칙을 이 해할 필요가 있다.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for estimating additional carbon emissions due to freeway incidents. METHODS : As our country grows, our highway policy has mainly neglected the environmental and social sectors. However, with the formation of a national green growth keynote and an increase in the number of people interested in environmental and social issues, problems related to social issues, such as traffic accidents and congestion, and environmental issues, such as the impact of air pollution caused by exhaust gases that are emitted from highway vehicles, are beginning to be discussed. Accordingly, studies have been conducted on a variety of environmental aspects in the field of road transport, and for the quantitative calculation of greenhouse gas emissions, using various methods. However, in order to observe the effects of carbon emissions, microscopic simulations must use many difficult variables such as cost, analysis time, and ease of analysis process. In this study, additional greenhouse gas emissions that occur because of highway traffic accidents were classified by type (incident handling time, number of lanes blocked, freeway level of service), and the annual additional emissions based on incidents were calculated. According to the results, congestion length and emissions tend to increase with an increase in incident clearance time, number of occupied lanes, and worsening level of service. Using this data, we analyzed accident data on the Gyeong-bu Expressway (Yang-Jae IC - Osan IC) for a year. RESULTS : Additional greenhouse gas emissions that occur because of highway traffic accidents were classified by type (incident handling time, number of lanes blocked, freeway level of service) and annual additional emissions caused by accidents were calculated. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, a methodology for estimating carbon emissions due to freeway incidents was developed that incorporates macroscopic flow models. The results of the study are organized in the form of a look-Up table that calculates carbon emissions rather easily.

PURPOSES: Recently, many local governments have applied chicanes for traffic calming to ensure environment-friendly comfortable and safe roads. However, the geometry of a chicane is designed for speed reduction using a curved portion. This study aims to improve the road geometry conditions of chicanes for reducing carbon emissions and maintaining appropriate driving speeds by considering the relationship between road geometry and carbon emissions. METHODS: This study was conducted as follows. First, carbon emissions corresponding to changing acceleration of vehicles were studied. Second, vehicle acceleration caused by the relationship between the curve radius and the straight length was studied. Accordingly, desirable conditions of curve radius and length of the straight section for reducing carbon emissions were proposed. RESULTS: The existing literature on chicanes present the minimum value of stagger length and path angle in the primary variable condition. This study suggests the maximum values of the curve radius and length of straight section in the primary variable condition. Therefore, if a vehicle’s speed at a chicane is 30 km/h, this study suggests a curve radius of up to 24 m. In addition, if the vehicle’s speed is 24 km/h, this study suggests a length of straight section of up to 6.6 m. These are the geometric conditions for considering the control of acceleration to the vehicle’s maximum speed. CONCLUSIONS: This paper proposes an application of geometric conditions to reduce carbon emissions and maintain appropriate speeds of vehicles through a combination of curve radius and length of straight section.

PURPOSES : The authors set out to estimate the related carbon emissions, energy use, and costs of the national freeways and highways in Korea. To achieve this goal, a macro-level methodology for estimating those amounts by road type, road structure type, and road life cycle was developed. METHODS : The carbon emissions, energy use, and costs associated with roads vary according to the road type, road structure type, and road life cycle. Therefore, in this study, the road type, road structure type, and road life cycle were classified into two or three categories based on criteria determined by the authors. The unit amounts of carbon emissions and energy use per unit road length by classification were estimated using data gathered from actual road samples. The unit amounts of cost per unit road length by classification were acquired from the standard cost values provided in the 2013 road business manual. The total carbon emissions, energy use, and cost of the national freeways and highways were calculated by multiplying the road length by the corresponding unit amounts. RESULTS: The total carbon emissions, energy use, and costs associated with the national freeways and highways in Korea were estimated by applying the estimated unit amounts and the developed method. CONCLUSIONS: The developed method can be employed in the road planning and design stage when decision makers need to consider the impact of road construction from an environmental and economic point of view.
