This study evaluated the odor mitigation effect of rice husk biochar addition to the bedded pack dairy barn floor using lab-scale reactors for five days. Rice husk biochar mixed with dairy manure and sawdust mixture at different ratios (5%-addition test unit: adding biochar by 5% of the total solid weight of the mixture, 10%-addition test unit: adding biochar by 10% of the total solid weight of the mixture). Cumulative NH3 and H2S emissions of 10%-addition test unit were reduced by 26% (p< 0.05) and 46% (p = 0.0655), respectively, compared with control. However, 5%-addition test unit did not show NH3 and H2S emission reduction. Further research is needed to determine the appropriate level of biochar addition between 5 and 10%, and to evaluate applicability in the field through economic analysis.

2015년 ‘파리협정’ 및 2021년 ‘기후위기 대응을 위한 탄소중립·녹색성장 기본법’ 제정에 따라 2030년 국가 온 실가스 감축목표(NDC, 2018년 대비 40% 감축) 달성을 위해서는 지자체별 적절한 온실가스 감축 목표 설정과 이행 노 력이 필수적이다. 이에 이 연구에서는 충청북도 지역을 중심으로 1990-2018년 까지 온실가스 배출 현황을 시계열로 분석하였고, 2030년 국가 온실가스 감축목표와 시나리오를 바탕으로 충청북도의 2030년 온실가스 감축 목표를 제안하였 다. 또한 감축 목표 달성을 위해 BAU 대비 장래 배출량을 고려한 2030년까지의 감축 잠재량을 추정하였다. 그 결과, 첫째, 우리나라와 충북의 온실가스 배출량은 1990년 이래 인구 및 경제 성장에 따라 증가해온 것으로 나타났으며, 2018년 국가 대비 충북의 온실가스 배출량은 3.9%로 매우 낮은 편이였고, 시멘트 및 석회 생산, 제조업 및 건설업, 수 송업 등 연료연소에 의한 배출이 주를 이루는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 2030년 NDC 및 2050 탄소중립 시나리오를 반 영한 2030년 충청북도 온실가스 감축 목표는 2018년 대비 40.2%로 설정하였다. 이에 장래 배출량을 고려할 경우 목표 달성을 위한 감축 잠재량은 2018년 대비 46.8%인 것으로 추정되었다. 상기 결과는 국가 및 지자체의 온실가스 감축 목표 달성을 위해서는 분야별 온실가스 감축 수단을 통한 감축 잠재량을 충족하는 것이 중요하다는 것을 의미한다. 또 한 2030년 NDC 및 2050 탄소중립 시나리오 달성을 위해 충북을 포함한 국가 및 각 지자체는 온실가스 장래 배출량 을 연도별로 추정하여 매년 감축 목표와 감축 잠재량을 구하고 이를 삭감할 수 있는 구체적인 감축 수단을 마련할 필 요가 있음을 말해준다.

최근 지구 환경문제에 대한 논의가 활발해지면서 국제 운송의 큰 부분을 차지하고 있는 해상운송에서도 배출물질 규제를 위한 정책이 시행되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 선속 제한에 의한 배출량의 감축 효과를 검토하기 위하여 기관 부하율을 적용하여 선박의 배출물질을 수치계산하였다. 2017년 1월 1일부터 12월 31일까지 부산 북항의 입출항 선박을 대상으로 선속제한구역 20마일권역을 설정하고 해당 구간에서의 선종별, 선속별로 배출량을 계산하고 분석하였다. 항행, 접·이안, 정박 중일 때를 모두 포함하여 가장 많은 배출물질을 발생시키는 선박은 컨테이너선 76.1 %, 일반화물선 7.2 %, 여객선 6.8 %의 순으로 계산되었다. 항행 및 접·이안 모드일 때는 일반화물선이 여객선 보다 배출물질이 적었지만 정박 모드일 때는 여객선보다 많았다. 총 배출물질은 질소산화물, 황산화물, 입자상물질, 휘발성유기화합물의 순으로 각각 49.4 %, 45 %, 4 % 1.6 %로 구성되었다. 선속 제한이 없는 경우와 선박 속도를 12노트, 10노트, 8노트로 제한시킬 때 배출물질을 비교하면 속도 12노트 제한의 경우 질소산화물 39 %, 휘발성유기화합물 40 %, 입자상물질 42 %, 황산화물 38 %의 감소효과가 있고, 10노 트 제한일 때 질소산화물 52 %, 휘발성유기화합물 54 %, 황산화물 56 %, SOx 50 %의 감소효과가 있으며, 8노트 제한일 때 질소산화물 62 %, 휘발성유기화합물 64 %, 입자상물질 67%, 황산화물 59 %의 감소효과가 있었다. 이처럼 선박의 속도 감소에 따라 배출물질 역시 크게 감소 되는 연구결과를 확인할 수 있었으며, 향후 항만 배출물질 감소를 위해 선박의 속도를 제한하는 방안을 적극적으로 고려할 필요가 있다.

The fuel used in this study, DMM is an oxygen additive containing 42.5% oxygen by weight and dissolved in diesel fuel, also known as methyl alcohol or Dimethoxymethane (CH3-O-CH2-O-CH3). DMM, which is a colorless liquid, shows chemical characteristics of gas-liquid and is also used as a diesel fuel component. In this study, five mixtures were added to the common diesel fuel at DMM addition rates of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 and 12.5% by volume. A single cylinder, four strokes, DI diesel engine was used as the test engine. Experimental data were also collected at 24 engine speed-load conditions operating in steady state. The purpose of this experiment was to study the effect of the addition ratio of oxidized fuel mixed in diesel fuel on engine power and exhaust performance. When compared with the common diesel fuel, the exhaust of Smoke was substantially reduced in all DMM mixing ratios. These results indicate that DMM can be an effective blend of diesel fuel and is an environmentally friendly alternative fuel. This study also shows that smoke and NOx emissions can be reduced at the same time through the application of oxygen fuel and EGR.

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.

The several experiments of Diesel vehicles using EFT were completed. The experiments were performed on chassis dynamometer and road driving test using test mode such as FTP-75 and LA-4.

The value of exhaust emissions such as NOX, SOX, CO2 and PM were improved as Diesel mixed EFT additives at th ratio of 200:1. The improvement of resulting data value was best PM, NOX, SOX, CO₂and fuel consumption rate in the order named.

The two experiments of gasoline vehicle using eco-friendly treatment(Ecoburn) were completed. The experiments was done on traveling using the performance testing mode for chassis dynamometer and road driving test. The experiments were employed to measure exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. In this experiment, the correlation between CO₂and fuel consumption were found in gasoline vehicle. The following results are obtained by analyzing the data relativity between exhaust emissions and additives. 1) If the value of exhaust emissions such as CO, HC, NOX, CO₂were improved as gasoline mixed additives at th ratio of 300:1. The value of fuel consumption were worse compare to those of exhaust emission. The improvement of resulting data value was best CO, HC, NOX and fuel consumption in the order named. 2) The value of CO₂ were to be nearly proportional to the fuel consumption value.

Due to the global warming problem, diesel engine is becoming an one of the most promising solutions for vehicles in the world. Compared to spark-ignition engines, diesel engines generally have lower unburned hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide, but they also produce still higher levels of NOx and smoke emissions even though using a common-rail injection system. To reduce the diesel emissions, DOC and DPF system have been developed to comply with tighten diesel emission regulations. This paper describes the NOx and smoke emission characteristics of current diesel vehicle with a post injection and plasma after-treatment system. Emissions tests were performed according to New European Driving Cycle mode. Results from these tests show that NOx and smoke emissions with Urea post injection and plasma treatment system is 72% lower than that without the system in the NEDC mode.

최근 온실가스 감축을 위한 세계 각국의 노력이 다각도로 진행되고 있으며, 국제적인 협력 또한 시급히 요구되고 있다. 이러한 노력의 일환으로 해운 업계에서는 항내에서 유발되는 선박 기인 온실가스 배출량 중 탄소에 대한 배출량 감축과 선박운항 비용 절감을 위한 친환경 항만 체계 구축 방안이 활발히 논의되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 탄소 배출량 감축 및 친환경 항만 체계 구축의 기초 연구로 정박 중인 선박에 자체 생산 전력을 공급하는 대신 육상전력을 공급하는 방안을 모색하였다. 이를 위하여 실제 운항중인 목포해양대학교의 실습선 새누리호를 대상으로 정박 중인 선박이 육상전력을 사용함으로써 얻을 수 있는 환경적 비용적 효과에 관해 고찰하였다. 연구 결과 육상전력을 사용한 경우에 CO2 배출량은 약 32.5%가 감소되었고, 운항비용은 약 33%가 절감된 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, numerical simulations using community multiscale air quality (CMAQ) were conducted to analyze the change in ozone (O3) concentration due to the reduction in nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions in Busan. When the NOx and, VOCs emissions were reduced by 40% and, 31%, respectively, the average O3 concentration increased by 4.24 ppb, with the highest O3 change observed in the central region (4.59 ppb). This was attributed to the decrease in O3 titration by nitric oxide (NO) due to the reduction of NOx emissions in Busan, which is classified as a VOCs-limited area. The distribution of O3 concentration changes was closely related to NOx emissions per area, and inland emissions were highly correlated with daily maximum concentrations and 8-h average O3 concentrations. Contrastingly, the effect of emission reduction depended on the wind direction. This suggests that the emission reduction effects may vary depending on the environmental conditions. Further research is needed to comprehensively analyze the emission reduction effects in Busan.

In order to clarify the impact of emissions reductions on the air quality over Metropolitan area of Korean Peninsula, several numerical experiment and analysis of integrated process rate(IPR) of ozone were carried out. Numerical models used in this study are WRF for the estimate the meteorological elements and CMAQ for assessment of ozone concentration. As result in the sensitive test of VOC/NOx reduction experiments, although VOC reduction tends to induce the different impact on the advection and photochemical reaction rate of ozone in urban area and rural area, the mechanism of ozone appeared to be more sensitive to the reduction of VOC than that of NOx over the metropolitan and its surround area. So the control of VOC emission inventories is an effective means to decrease the ozone concentrations around this area.

This paper asks the question: what choice of environmental policy instruments is efficient to reduce sulfur dioxide from stationary sources?: In Korea, command and control has been a common way of controlling SO2-emissions. When compared to the non-incentive environmental policy instrument such as command and control, economic incentive environmental policy instrument has been the advantage of making polluter himself flexibly deals with in marginal abatement cost to develop environmental technology in the long view. Therefore, the application possibility of the incentive environmental policy instrument was studied in this research to realize the countermeasure for controlling of SO2-emissions. As a result, enforcement of the countermeasure such as flue gas desulfurizer by command and control would be suitable because power generation is performed by the public or for the public in source of air pollution and thus, economic principle is not applied to the polluter. In the source of industrial pollution, enforcement of fuel tax is found to be suitable for the countermeasure for the use of low sulfur oil in terms of the flexibility of demand for the price in the long term. For the permissible air pollution standards applicable to all air pollutant emitting facilities, enforcement of incentive environmental policy such as bubble, off-set, banking policy or tradeable emission permits would be ideal in long terms according to the regional characteristics and the number and scale of air pollutant emitting facilities.
